report of delegate to state board of agriculture 279 



Exhibitions. 



The usual fairs have been held throughout the state and most of 

 them had good weather and successful shows. The Board also 

 assisted the Massachusetts part of the Corn Show and together 

 with the Massachusetts Fruit Growers' Association held a very 

 successful fruit show in this hall in connection with the Chrysanthe- 

 mum Exhibition of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society. 



The Board is certainly doing good work along many lines of 

 agricultural development, but that there is a wider field of useful- 

 ness there can be no doubt, and this field will be covered just as 

 soon and as fast as the Board can take up these new activities and 

 progress along all the best lines of agricultural development and 

 this will certainly be our aim.
