about one hundred persons being present.
the attendance increasing to two hundred
in the afternoon.
Hon. E. d. Mason, of Richmond, Presi-
dent, delivered the following opening ad-
dress, as reported by the Messenger
Nothing is lore true than that " man
continues not in one sway the fashion of
this world passeth away" The agricultu-
raj, mechanical, scientific and political pur-
suits of men, are as constantly changing as
the fashions of dress or the modes of
speech.
Indeed, the whole world has been like
the troubled sea, which cannot rest.
We meet again to determine what shall
be done to promote the great agricultural
i lterests of our State. There is scarcely
town in the State whose people have not
been awakened into action TO promote that
great interest in which more than one-half
of the world i actually employed, and
upon the success of which the other por-
ton is dependent.
The condition of the rural population of
! our State, separate from each other as they
are, has forbidden that concentration of ideas
and consultation of views, which are so
common to all other professions and occu-
pations. But lately, by aid of the press,
and the establishment of agricultural asso-
Citations and societies for discussion. farmers
are fast discovering that there is work for
them to do outside of the precincts of the
farm. They seem to have been awakened
into a determined purpose to take their
place in the race of the worlds progress,
and to assert for themselves a position
which will enable them to keep pace with
Others whose goal is success in life. There
is no occupation in life which 50 greatly
needs the protecting and fostering care of
government As that of farming. There is
| no principle of Political economy, no ques-
ton Of public policy, no consideration Of
| statistical facts, no new developments of
scientific knowledge, which does not come
home to be measured in its influence upon
the results of the farm
The agricultural position OF our State is
| a puzzle which it would take wise man to
unravel. \ people in the front rank of
