REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT AND SECRETARY. 



To THE Secretary of the State Board of Agriculture. 



Sir, — In accordance with former usage, we submit the fol- 

 lowing Report of the Transactions of the Norfolk Agricultural 

 Society for the year 1862. 



The operations of the Society for the past year have been 

 highly successful, and will compare favorably with those of any 

 season since its organization. Notwithstanding the disturbed con- 

 dition of national aifairs, the Annual Exhibition was one of the 

 most successful ever given by the Society, affording gratifying 

 assurance of the excellent influence exerted by the Association, 

 and attesting in the strongest manner to the deep interest taken 

 in its welfare and prosperity by the people of the County. 



For more specific information with reference to the present 

 condition and future prospects of the Agricultural Interests of the 

 County, we would refer to the interesting and valuable report of 

 the Supervisory Committee, which, with the reports of the sev- 

 eral Committees of the Society, is herewith subjoined. 



MARSHALL P. WILDER, President. 

 HENRY 0. HILDRETH, Recording Secretary.
