Excerpt from Thirty-Seventh Annual Report of the Indiana State Board of Agriculture, Vol. 29 The statistics embodied in this report are obtained from the State Eu reau of Statistics, for the collection of the same. Our deductions are care fully compiled from figures from advance sheets obtained through the kindly offices of the Chief of this Bureau, Hon. Wm. A. Peelle. The reports from the county and district agricultural societies indicate prosperity in a marked degree, which is a decidedly flattering exhibit considering short crop yields and the consequent depression among farm ers. The outlook at the time these fairs were held being anything but encouraging. In connection with the county reports a brief description of each county is given, for reference by those who are in search of such information. At the same time indicating the points in the State where other natural resources are found, such as coal, stone, natural gas, cement, timber, etc. Farmers' institutes are rapidly growing in favor, and we have reason to expect some valuable matter from that source for the next report.
