Agricultural Societies.

De Bows Review for this month contains an inter-
estng article on the subject of the promotion of agri-
culture by the government, from which we extract
the following paragraph giving the number of agri-
cultural societies in different States:
g New York has State society, and from seventy
to eighty county societies Pennsylvania has from
twelve to twenty county societies and many grouped to-
geher Ohio has State society, and seventy county
societies Massachusetts, has twelve societies, and
in many of these societies several counties togeth-
er. Michigan has twenty county societies; Indiana
a State society; Kenteucky, five county societies
Georgia. State society, and fifteen county societis
South Carolina has six county societos. Virginia
has State society, and three county societies Mary
land, a State society, and four county societies
and was the first State to ask us to establish
tional board; New Hampshire, State society, and
eight or nine county societies, and also asked Con
county societies. Rhode Island has also passed re
solutions asking Congress to establish board. Maine
has six county societies Iowa, State society ant
six or eight county societies: Wisconsin, State so
ciety Illinois, three county societies. TENNESSEE
has some county societies, and two years Since un
aniInously recommended national board Florida
has passed resolution for national board. Louis
lana, in 1848 passed law for bureau"
De Bow might have included in the above Nortl
Carolina has State and several County Societies.
But it makes no difference whether we are noticed o
not with some. IT is general ruIe-or, at least,
would seem so-that North Carolina is scarcely eve
mentioned in any way by papers or writer's out of tn
