No one regrets the apparent neglected appearance of the 

 farm the last season more than the committee, but circum- 

 stances beyond their control have operated against their 

 wishes. They endeavored to do all that could be done 

 under the difficulties that surrounded them. 

 Respectfully submitted, 

 Benjamin P. Ware, 



Chairman of Committee.
