PtEPOKT OF THE PRESIDENT AND SECRETAUY. 



To THE Secretary op the State Board of Agriculture : 



Sir, — We herewith submit the following Report of the Trans- 

 actions of the Norfolk Agricultural Society for the year 

 1865. 



The operations of the Society for the year were attended with 

 gratifying success. Although some crops were seriously affected 

 by the protracted drought, yet, on the whole, the season was 

 highly favorable to the interests of the farmers of the county. 



The Annual Exhibition was very successful, the receipts being 

 larger, by several hundred dollars, than on any previous year. 



For a more specific statement of the operations of the Society 

 for the past year, we refer to the Report of the Supervisory Com- 

 mittee, which, together with the Reports of the several Com- 

 mittees of the Society, is herewith subjoined. 



MARSHALL P. WILDER, President. 

 HENRY 0. HILDRETH, Recording Secretary.
