For he requirements, which are a free vas the father of this typically-- . and easy functioning of the organs American institution and he is all of the body. the more worthy of honor because he labored in the face of difficulty and prejudice to bring it into being. Watson was born in Massachusetts in 1758 and his natural Yankee shrewdness was enlivened by travel and adventure.- Finally he settled dowr. on a frm near Pittsfield, Mass. But he could .not- be con-- , tent there and, as he caid,- to fill up the void in an active mind led me first to conceive the idea of an agricultural society on a. plan different from all others. So in 1807 he" secured the first pair of Merino sheep ever. brought to his State and exhibited them under a great elm in the public square m Pittsfield. They attracted so much attention that he decided it would be- a good thing. to invite other owners to- show" their .live; stock. But he soon discovered that this wasnt .50. easy for the farmers were afraid to take part in such an exhibition lest ihey be laughed . at However, after" three years he got 26 of them to sign an appeal for a cattle show and this was such a success that an agricultural, society was formed, with .Watson as president. The next year he began the fair" with a parade and closed it with a pastoral ball.. Also prizes to the amount .of $70 were offered. By the next year .the premiums had risen to $208 and the fair was so popular with the men that he decided the next thing to do was to make it respectable by getting the indorsement of the clergy and the women. But that was more difficult for the clergy regarded such things as frivolous- and womens place was still very much in the home not in the public eye. But with the aid of his wife he finally prevailed upon them to exhibit .their weaving and sewing and be present when the awards were made. When they did that, the success of" the fair was assured and for the next 12 labored to extend the idea into other states. By 1819 he had induced the legislature of New York to pass an annual appropriation of $10,000 to aid new societies in staging fairs and from that time on the county fair became an established .
