The committee of i< iiuirv. appointed

of Orange county, N.C. t-avii.g taken
into consideration thr depressed and lan
guishing state oi Agi iculture* amongst
us, tu l it iheir du'.> to impress upon
the minds of ihr members of this socie
ty, and ot ail otheis who feel an interest
in litis first an<! most noble art, the im
portance of impi ovemtni in our system
of husband) y. Hy t!ic cul ivation of the
S"il, li.c whole family of the rarth is
sustained; fiom tins source arises ihe
wealth of nations. Do we then give it
that a tention which it meti'.s? lias not
experience taught us that wc cannot
m.-ke much improve merit under our
former mode of husbandry, which has
he. ~n to extract fioni the soil ail we
could, and return nothing to i' ? a prac
tice which has brought poverty so near
that we can plamly see and feel it:
What can we do that would he more
laudable ar.^ praiseworthy than to in
crease the product ot the earth, which
is the s'aff of life, and instruct our
nci^h. ours in the knowledge thereof :
Wt, therefore, solicit all to take it into I
consideration; let it become a common
caus.. The improvement of agriculture
is a great uoik, and very essential to
our comforts in this life; therefore the
h^ pit concerned is needed.
1 furtheiance of these views, this
