INTRODUCTORY.

It is with no small degree of pride that this volume is presented to the people of the state.

Since the last volume was issued we have suffered the loss of our exposition building, erected by the earnest efforts of the society in 1879, and in which all took pride, as it was the only building of the kind in the northwest owned by an agricultural society; but while its ashes were yet hot, it was determined to rebuild on a better and larger plan, and the friends of the society joining together, have now completed the finest, in fact it is yet the only exposition building owned by a fair association in the country. The society is in better condition to-day than ever, and there is no reason in the world why it shall not now take its place as the leading society of the country. Respectfully,

R. D. TORREY,

Secretary.
