The meeting was called to order at 10.30 o'clock by First 

 Vice-President Sessions, who said : Mr. T. H. Goodspeed 

 of this town, and member of the Board of Agriculture from 

 the local society, will preside this morning. The success 

 of these meetings has been largely dependent upon him, and 

 you will no doubt be glad to see him in the chair. 



The Chair. I am glad to see so man}'^ present at this 

 meeting. It would give me much greater pleasm^e, however, 

 if we could have this hall filled at all these meetings, for it 

 seems to me that they are of very great interest and value. 

 It gives me pleasure to announce that we have with us this 

 morning, as the lecturer, a man who is well known to many 

 of you personally, and by reputation to most of you. Dr. 

 George M. Twitchell of Augusta, Me., who will now address 

 you.
