WAsuINGToN's OPINION OF AGRICULTURE Tile fol-
lowing is extract Of letter from Gen Washington
to r Arthur Young who was distinguished for his
devotion to agricultural pursuits:
The more ! am acquainted with agricultural affairs
the better am pleased with them; irsomuch, that
can nowhere find great satisfaction in those limo
gent and useful pursuits. In ndulgng these feelings
am led to reflect how much more delightful to al
undebanched mind is the task Of making improvements
on the EARTH than all the vanglory which can be &C.
qurcd from ravaging it, by the most uninterrupted
career Of conquest. The design of this observation is
orly to show how mnch as member Of human SO,
cicty, feel myself obliged by your Iabors render
respectable and advantageous employment which
is more congenia to the natural disposition Of man
kind than any other.
