WAUPACA COUNTY. 
The Executive Committee of the Waupaca Agricultural So¬ 
ciety, have published so good a report, not only of the proceed¬ 
ings of Ihe Society, but also of the agricultural condition of 
the County, that we regret very much the want of space which 
forbids its republication in this Volume. 
The largest yield of Corn in the County, for the year 1859, 
was 89 bushels of ears, the drought and the frost having con¬ 
spired to prevent the usually large yield. The earlier varie¬ 
ties did the best, though some fields of Dent got ripe. The 
King Phillip and the small Y r ellow Flint did pretty well, but 
the best Corn, all things considered, was the u White Squaw,’’ 
an eight rowed variety, with large kernel, small cobb, and ears 
8 to 14 inches in length. 
Oats w T ere but a moderate crop. G. W. Taggart raised on a 
piece of low land bordering a marsh, in process of drainage, 
3084 pounds per acre. 
Millet and Hungarian Grass have proved to be good forage 
crops, but are thought to be more exhausting to the light soils 
than Rye or Indian Corn. 
The Annual Fair was held on the 20th and 21st days of 
September.
