FOR THE COMMITTEE OF
THE STATE AGRICULTU-
RAJ SOCIETY.
CEDAR GROVE, n. c.,
May %, 1883.
mr.. Editor l agree with Tai
mage the great Brooklyn preacher,
that newspapers do a a amount of
good in disseminating the news over
lhe country. 1t is also a medium
through which we can express and
convey our sentiments. l see in the
papers that the Committee of the
State Agricultural Society has offer
ed premiums on field crops, and |
beg leave TO give my views, as | atm
a farmer and wish to see the farm
ing community meet with ,ha, Il e-
cess they SO much deserve. | think
the Committee has offered ample
premiums, but think the average too
.arge on corn, cotton and wheat. 1t
will throw the competition in the
hands OF that class of farmers large
oues) that has already me, with sue
cess. The class OF farmers tina, need
encouragement most, are the small
ones. We are aware that North
Carolina is composed principally OF
small farmers, and had the average
on cotton, corn and wheat been
four or five acres, there, no doub,
would be many exhibitors, where
there will only be a few as it is
There is a prevailing sentiment
among the small farmers, tina, they
cannot get a showing at the Fair
consequently they stay away. l
the Agricultural Society will offe1
premiums at least IL months before
the Fair comes off, and upon small
average, l think the small tarme
will be stimulated to greater efforts
and after be finds be has met will
success, he will continue TO improve
North Carolina has as many na,u
raj advantages as any State, but
nevertheless, she is put at the foo
OF all the States in agriculture AM
| education. It is very evident tn
} cause OF one is the cause of tn
. other. If they will make agricu
ture1a success, they will make edt
cation the same. Take France, to
instance, she is composed of sma
farmers, and she, OF all the Europea
8 countries, is the most prosperous.
r say again, encourage the small ia
