That sounds a bit strange, but it is a f.e!, and here Is the whole atory : A plot of alfalfa was ploughed in April and planted to corn in the begin- ning of May, and a good set obtained I'he alfalfa was not much discouraged by the plowing and cultivation prior to planting but kept right on growing Che middle of June found this plot a sorry looking eight. A consultation was held, and it was decided to harvest the alfalfa. The mower was run over the plot, and when the alfalfa was cured it was raked up with a side de livery rake, bheuled to the barn, and is ous of the sixty loads of hay stored there. No attention was paid to the corn plants, many of which at that time were from six inches to a foot high. After this operation the earn began to grow, and grow, and grow, and it has the neighboring corn fields skinned to a frezzle.

According to a bulletin of the depart ment of agriculture, the first full fledg ed agricultural fair, primarily for com- petitive exhibits of for mar keting, was held at the Columbian Ag ricuitural society, which was organiz 1800 by a number of gentlemen un agricuiture residing in i in Virginia aod the District of @ instead ed in Interested Maryland, Columbia, Its first exhibition was beld in Georgetown, May 10, 1800, and the Na- tional Intelligencer of that day report ed that it was “attended by a numer ous assemblage of members of the so- ciety, whom we noticed the president and bis lady, the secretary of state, the secretary of the treasury, the secretary of war, the comptroller, register. etc, and many other ladies and gentlymen of respectability.” This fair was mainly devoted to do- mestic animals and manufacturers. Semlanpual fairs were held until the gpring of 1812, when the war with England and the expiration of the time for which the society was organ- ized caused its discontinuance. The oldest existing agricultural so- ciety that holds fairs is the Berkshire Agricultural society, Pittsfield, Mass., which held its first fair in the autumn of 1810 or only one and one-half years after the first fair of the Columbian Agricultural society.
