In pros»-nting to you the Report of this Society for the pad your we feel great pleasure in inliirniing you, that’. it is pr I gaining strength, although, from its rmtnirencctnent vve IIIO Illd cntrrplaiii of the coolness and itpathy of those, who, we think. oag to be its rn-tat strenuous advocates and its warmest snpporttin. ..

The llosolntion passed liy your Cotnniittea soon after our IICI nnnunl blot-tinit. respt.-ctiiig the nr.-ces-rity of holding Public Meeting! at tho surrounrliog Scttlr rrtoiirs. in order to advocate the course and to increase the number of \lornlio,-rs, has exceeded our expectations, and .1 nunili-er ol'New “mltltetst have been nilded to the Society; vonr Coniniittee would earnestly reclllllttlfilltl tlittt the satire plan be followed up by the Ullicc-bearers uftlris Society, during the coniiu_

oar. y ’l'lic beneficial results of this Branch Society, we think, is disco- verable oti every hand. so far as its influence has extended; rind we trust, that the period is not far tlistntit, when every practical for- mer iiniongst us will think it ti stignni on his character as such, not to belong to an Agricultural Society. I

Your (?ornrniitr-c in reiir-wing the past year have to express their 2 gratitude for tli.it rnezistrro ofprns;-crity with which the labours of ' the liusbzttnlnisn have been crowttud; for tlrougli the average crop might be corrsirlered ligntcr than in lurnrer years, still the Frrrtiier has been relieved for the want in the [lay Crop, of'l‘urnips. Never was there it sense to be coiiiparcd to the last, in the general abundance of this crop. Our Fiirtners exerted tliotn- srelves to procureriiriirure from every rtvailable source, rind they have been nbundaiitly repaid for all their toil. At nii early part of the season, doubts were eiitcrtained that the 'l‘urnip Seed itiiportod by the Royal Stir-.icty would prove a corn rletc failure, for although the Seed was tint wlnit was expected. stil tltc crop was abundant, and the ’l‘tirnips of an excellent qir.-ility. In looking over th: Report of l the Royal Society. we see that the average increase in the Turnip g Crop is stated rrt I00 bin-hels cr acre. But this is lry no lItL'.'ltlI , ti true ave-rrize here. It \\'(l|llt much nrnrcr the mark to suppose 5 the average increase as live to on '

Your Ctllltlltlllefl licg it-ate in Society have granted £5 to this I‘-rnnc iniiinrs for grain uiitl turnips, prtiviiled we ' our owir funds for this object, tti \\‘llIL:Il your L tnittee have agreed- The llnyal Society li:ive also lltilde rt present o Cultivator to this = Brnnclr. b ' way I f model, so as to introduce it iirto general use; which iriipfmrrerrt we earnestly rcconinicud to all the incuibers of, the Society.

Your (.'o-nmittce have also to acknowledge the very kind and va- luable [li(‘(l‘lII f8Ct‘I\'CtI from Judge Peters, tifa quantity of [topics of his “ llints tti l"urnicrs of l‘rinro l‘.tlwartI Island."

Your Corrrrrrittee sue the tn.-cm-siiv. at as early ~ period as pos- sible, of improving our breed of Cattle, mid feel anxious, that this lllttlllrl be common cu‘ on it small scale as soon as Hible, still

'ou will, Gcntlernen, have perceived by the public Notices, that your Cormnittee have decided on the sale of the Rams, irow the property of the Society; not because they have failed to accent- plisb the desire ofyour Connnittee (for during the last two years there has been a manifest improvement in the Sheep stock), but

vuur Committee are offiiioa, that it is boner to sell them at

Public Auction to the big at bidder. than to retain tlieiir any longer as tho etclusive property 0 he Society.

In conrte uence ofnii increase of Members and the consequent extension ol the Society, your Coinniittee found it necessary during the past year to onlcr two additional Drill Barrows, frorii the lioyal Society; but are sorry to say, that in con-iv uence of ti misun- derstaiiding on the part ofthe Secretary of the Iioyal Society, those Drills have ritit come to hand, the want of which has been severe- ly fa‘! by iiiarty of our .\leinliers, and which inconvenience and loss your (‘oirtriiittee have regretted and deplored.

You will rrceive. that in order to carry out the wish of many Meirilrer.-i til the Society at otir last annual Meeting. to reduce ilio price of Sci-ds sold to .\Ieinbors below the -out charge, there has been a loss or tliscnuiit on Clover Seed sold by the Secretary, to the amount of 1'3 I3 5.
