Will ever be entitled to our first regard; and most
heartily do we rejoice to know that our abors thus
far in her behalf have been instrumental IN ava
koning spirit of Improvement among her farmers,
which is already producing highly oeneleial re-
suits. Our Giant State, with her boundless natu-
raj resources, and over two millions OF inhabit-
ants, is beginning to awake TO the sense OF her
high destiny, AS evidence Of this, we refer TO
p the rapid progress of Railroads and other public
i improvements--to to the Fifty Agricultural! Socie-
ties organized within the past five years, and espe.
. cially to the magnificent STATE FAIR, which
It may justly be regarded as the commencement OF
g a new era in the progress of Agriculture in Ohio
