Excerpt from The Quarterly Journal of Agriculture: For July, 1859, With the Premium List for the Seventh National Exhibition at Chicago, Ill., Sept. 12-17 It is a stereotyped truth, that a correct system of agriculture lies at the very basis of our national prosperity. Its importance will be magnified the more we consider it. In its physical, social, political, and moral bearings no subject should command more the attention of the political economist, the statesman, and the philanthropist. Ours, too, are essentially an agricultural people, and this pursuit employs more capital and more labor than all others combined. With its progress is identified every important interest of this great nation. It becomes, then, an important problem, In what manner this ia teresi can be best sustained and its permanent prosperity secured. The exchange of friendly salutations which the present occasion affords to those engaged in this noble pursuit, is an Opportunity that all must highly appreciate, and one from which we have reason to hope great benefits may arise to ourselves as individuals and to the public at large. Agriculture, though as Old as civilized society, has been practiced up to the present time as a very simple art, while as a science it has occupied no very conspicuous place in the estimation of the learned, or figured largely in councils and cabinets.
