PUGET SOUND AGRICUL-
TURE.

II is conceded that the great need
Of our Territory, to make it wealthy
and great in the departments for
which it has special facilities, is an
increase of manufacturing enterprise,
and Of industries requiring extensive
capital for their prosecution. But
experience elsewhere has shown that
such enterprises usually follow in
the wake Of agriculture or rather
that agriculture always forms the
solid pedestal to the enduring col
limn Of which manufactures and
commerce constitute the shaft, and
art and literature the graceful folia
of the capital. A British writer des-
