Another meeting was held in Madison at which a constitution was adopted and officers were elected, seeking to form a state agricultural society.

The evidence

• “A constitution was adopted, but nothing further was done. In February, 1849 another meeting was held in Madison, at which it was " Resolved, That in view of the great importance of agriculture in the west, it is expedient to form a state agricultural society in Wisconsin." Another constitution was adopted, and officers were elected, but no effectual organization resulted from this second attempt. The " Wisconsin State Agricultural Society "^^ the present organization — had its inception in a meeting held at Madison, March 8, 1851, at which a committee was appointed to report a constitution and by-laws, and to nominate persons to fill the various offices of said society.”
