216 BOARD OF AGRICULTUKE. [Pub. Doc. 



REPOET OF COMMITTEE ON AGRICULTURAL SOCIETIES. 



[Read and accepted at the Annual Meeting, Jan. 10, 1906.] 



The committee on agricultural societies report that they 

 have considered the reports of inspectors of fairs, and they 

 find no mention of any objectionable features, or a statement 

 that, if any such appeared, they were promptly removed. 

 We would urge upon the inspectors careful attention, to the 

 end that our fairs may be protected from giving just cause 

 for criticism in the kind of amusements or entertainments 

 allowed. 



We fully agree with the report of the secretary of the 

 Board in his recommendation that all attractions outside 

 those strictly instructive should be discouraged. 



Respectfully, 



W. A. KILBOURN. 

 J. HARDING ALLEN.
