Description
James
Biggins
was
awarded
this
diploma
for the
best
bull
calf
at the
Chester
Township
Fair
in
1854
.
Biggins
, a
farmer
,
came
to the
United
States
from
Yorkshire
,
England
two
years
earlier
. The
diploma
is
signed
by
D
.
Reese
,
secretary
and
E
.
Wheatherby
,
president
of the
Chester
Township
Agricultural
Society
.
It
measures
18
by
24
inches
(45.72
by
60.96
cm)
.
Although
county
agricultural
societies
were
popular
in the
1850s
,
small
farmers
occasionally
formed
local
organizations
,
believing
that the
county
agricultural
societies
favored
the
wealthy
gentleman
farmer
.
Typically
,
members
met
monthly
in
each
other's
homes
to
discuss
the
merits
of
different
practices
.
During
the
1850s
,
Chester
Township
held
its
own
fair
, but this
practice
lasted
only
a
few
years
.
