"OUR OWN OHIO"
Will ever be entitled to our first regard; and most
heartily do we rejoice to know that our Iabors thus
far in her behalf have been instrumental in AVA
kening spirit of improvement among her farmers,
which is already producing highly beneficial re.
suits. Our Giant State, with her boundless natu-
r"s resources, and over two millions of inhabit
avis. is beginning to awake to the sense of her
high destiny. As evidence Of this, we refer TO
the rapid progress OF Railroads aud other public
improv ements-to the Fifty Agricultural Socie-
ties organized within the past five years, and espe
cially to the magnificent STATE FAIR, which
may Justly be regarded as the commencement of
a new era in the progress of Agriculture in Ohio
We appeal then with confidence to the friend,
of improvement in Ohio, TO HELP ON THE
WORK-by inducing as many possible of your
friends and ncghbcrs to join with you in subscrib-
ing for the OHIO CULTIVATOR This will be
sure to increase the number aud usefulness of the
! County Agricultural Societies, and also awaken
more interest in behalf of
