ring to the principles which governed the
men to whom we owe the existence of this
society No nations power and wealth
can long be retained when popular edu-
cation is not considered as the fountain
from which these flow. To provide the
facilities for instructing the masses under
the common school system, is an ad-
mirable and wise provision of our far.
seeing public men, but there are increased
opportunities now available where a
special higher class OF instruction can be
istence and pursuit our present high
standard of refinement would not pro
gress as rapidly as required.
Horticulture was the basis upon which
these men anticipated building success
fully. The magnitude of horticultural
taste everywhere visible is mainly due to
their untiring efforts. Well do such men
deserve the grateful recognition of those
who are reaping the benefits of their
labors. Following in the early work of
the society, many of our higher educa-
tional Institutes added chair of horti-
culture to their curriculums. To their
honor be it said that there is to-day
many a happy and useful citizen who
owes his enviable lot in life to the special
opportunities which were thus afforded
him.
European pomologists have long since
recognized our society as the most infu
entail of it's kind in existence Our pro-
ceedings are quoted by foreign horticult-
ural publications as models worthy of
imitation, and that under it's auspices
American pomology has made most won
derfully rapid progress, while in their
own countries similar result has been
shown.
Most enviable is thelotof the American
farmer. Owner of the land he tills, he
works with the assurance that whatever
outlay of labor or money he devotes to
it's Improvement, the benefits resulting
therefrom will be his own; this leads to
desire to improve the products of the soil,
and thus to contribute to the material
progress of this great nation. In con-
trast with this sovereign condition of our
own pomologists, the European farmer,
being seldom other than temporary
tenant, has no incentive to improve per-
manently the land of another, or the
quality of such products as may not
benefit him in the near future AS ten
ant, he knows that in making his land
lords land more productive he will likely
be made to pay an increased rental.
Pathological progress being therefore
confined to a very small proportion Of
European freeholders, as compared with
our own, is necessarily deprived Of the
vast amount of research and discoveries
which are within our own people. When

Society emanated not only from the ne
cessity OF advancing the progress OF an
industry which half a century ago was
already considered as one of the great
factors in the production OF our National
wealth, but also from the desire of it's
founders to unite all the fruit growers of
the American continent in our vast
brotherhood.
These principles were patriotic, and
eminently practical in accomplishing by
social intercourse and free exchange of
aimed to perfect. AS a nationprogresses
in refinement there is a corresponding
increase in the multiplicity of it's wants
and consequent necessity for their
abundant supply as such wants are the
natural results of increased labor, SO in
creased labor must meet the demand of
supply. When an industry, or source of
production, is left to individual resources
so far as aiding in it's development, it's
progress is necessarily slow and often
unremunerative, but when many men
combine their knowledge and efforts with
the desire to advanceits proficiency, then
it is no longer dependent upon the toll of
one individual, and thus toll may be
made to he no longer without it's concur
rent reward.
The policy of the society has never
deviated from this broad and liberal plat
form, and | am most happy to see in our
midst some of the public-spirited men
who being present at the birth of this
grand organization, come here to-day
to testify by their presence and counsel
that their solicitude for it's success is dear
to their hearts. 1t recognizes pomology
both as a science and an art, and as such
these must take precedence above all
other subjects which may be brought for
it's consideration. Individual interest
must always be ignored, but merits in
genealogical products will receive such
recognition as they are entitled to.
Private enterprises whose object is the
production of pomological commodities
for commercial purposes have special or
ganizations for specified results. Such
organizations deserve the cordial COM
mendation of this society for the many
benefits they bring to every community
in the land, and for practically aiding in
earring out the work of this society.
In the future reunions of men animated
with but one desire, the advancement OF
an intellectual and refining pursuit, rests
the perpetuation of this society in its
strength and usefulness. So long as this
policy is pursued, so long will this society
remain the lasting source from which
American pomology has become a rich
mine of pleasure, bodily comforts, educa-
tional progress and financial returns.

subject relating to pomology at every
biennial meeting"
When | consider the magnitude which
genealogical progress has achieved within
the past few years, confess that in thus
discharging this duty do SO with we'll

scientific discoveries, the best results are
obtained by concentrating the teachings
of specialists, and as we are SO fortunate
as to number among this audience which
I have the honor to address and cordially
greet, men whose names have become
illustrious in the domain of science, and
who will during the session of the society
invite your attention to topics german
with it's objects, beg your indulgence
for not strictly confning myself to this
constitutional clause, and trust that /
shall therefore not disobey this formal
command, which / will, however, endeavor
to carry out in principle.

afraid the vessel is not seaworthy;
that it could not stand the. strain Of a
storm; that it will spring a leak, and
he begins to hint at these imaginary
defects. He soon finds another with
no Drawer heart, and they join their
cowardly mutterings, and soon a ma.

LENOIR COUNTY.

In response to the questions con
tanned in The PROGRESSIVE FARMER Of
the 18th ult., our County Alliance
agreed to the following statement
The reduction in the acreage Of cotton
wiltAoe about seven per cent; will re-
duceethe use of commercial fertilizers
fifty per cent; have increased the
acreage of small grain twenty-five per
cent, and the outlook for a good crop
is encouraging. We will increase the
acreage of peas and grass twenty-five
per cent; we are enconomizing n the
right way-by buying less and trying
to make more; the mortgage business
has fallen off twenty-five per cent;
we are trying to get on the solid basis
of self sustaining farming by planting
less cotton and more grain, grass and
peas, &c. We have no enterprises as
yet, started by the Alliance, but 1t IS
in a sound and healthy condition, n
we have about sixty per cent. OF the
farmers of Lenoir county in our order.
We agree with The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER, that this is the class OF IN
formation that will benefit our order,
and The PROGRESSIVE FARMER is the
proper medium through which to COM
municate it. SECRETARY.

of The PROGRESSIVE FAMER and also
the following:

entered into another combination and
have secured control Of all the iute
butts in the market,

adequate supply of such substitute
may be obtained for the coming crop.
