recent lecture at Peacham:
The lecture by j. S. Adams, Esq,
before our association. was on Emi-
grafton from Nermont-its causes and
Cure He showed the alarming ma
ture of this emigration, which not only
took away much OF the productive
capital Of the State. bat that young
and vigorous blood necessary to in
fuse life into Vermont industry He
ridiculed in bitter terms the Western
fever which periodically appears
among our farmers, and proved by
facts and figures, that leaving out
butter, cheese, sugar. cattle, &c, sour
ces Of incalculable wealth, in the ag-
gregate in our agricultural towns the
productive capacity of Vermont land
per acre, in wheat, rye and corn, was
higher than any Western STATE He
quoted a remark once made 10y EX-
Gov Boutwell, Of Mass, that Caledo-
MIA county was the richest agricultur-
al spot in the United States He
showed that this emigration could be
greatly lessened, first bv multiplying
occupations, extending our manpfac-
lures, and turning the fine water priv
ileges of the State to some practical
account Second, by changing the
bankrupt laws and giving the poor
man chance to better his condition.
1t was a lecture every Vermont far
mer ought to hear. In point of
economy it would be saving to the
State Of thousands of dollars if the
State Government would employ him
continually to deliver it from place to
place.
