Agriculture in Pennsylvania,
This subject is attraction more and more
attention every day in Pennsylvania. For
a long series of years,as the common say
ing is, every farmer worked tan his own
hook, but a change has taken place recent
ly. Within the last two years a State Ag
:ricultural Society and some twenty Counties
Societies have been organized. Highly
creditable exhibitions have been held by both,
and everywhere atiracting the attention of
intelligent and able men. These exhibitions
have imnaght to the notice of the farmers.of
Pennsylvania the finest stock, the most ap
praVed machinery,nnd thebest grains, seeds,
roots, &c. The articles exhibited or others
like them have generally been purchased,
and taken into different sections of the Com
monwealth than that from which they come.
This of itself tends to great improvements ;
but - whilst - this - has been -done_w.e still..have
failed in Pennsylvania, to some extent, in ap
plying science to the pursuit of agriculture.
Governor Bigler, in his late message, has
called attention to this subject in a very hap
py manner. He points out the fact that our
soils have been exhausted of their produc
tive elements to an alarming extent, and
suggest the propriety of appointing a scien
tific man to analyze them, and suggest rem
edies to correct the rapid exhaustion that has
been going on since the discovery of the
country. Other States have done this with
marked success, and it is time that Pennsyl
vania one of the great. st agricultural States
of the old thirteen, should take some. steps
upon this subject.
We firmly believe that more money is
spent annually in a misapplication of man
ures and supposed restoratives to the soil of
our State, than would pay ell the State tax
es. How frequently do we hear farmers
say that they have applied sixty. eighty or a
hundred bushels of lime to the acre, of their
land, without its producing a visible effect.
This has been &Me by aoriculturalists., in
our immediate neighborhood not long since.
Now, n little scientific knowledge would
guard farmers tinniest errors of this kind,
and point out the kind of restoratives neces
sary for that particular soil.
A few years ago the Hon. Reverdy John
son, of Baltimore, purchased a tract of land
o'er that city, that would not produce five
bushels of wheat to the acre, althouah it had
theapm_-arance of be g in, land susceptible of
high improvement. Not being, able to prr
duce crops upon it he emphived the State
Chemist of Maryland to analyze it, when it
was found that it needed but ane ingredient
(ihe phosphate of line.) to make it produce
wheat. Ile, therefore, gave it a good dres
:leg of phosphate, sowed it in wheat with
out any other manure, and obtained a crop
of thirty bushels to the acre. Here was a
practical illustration of the importance of
scientific. knowledge in riariculture. Hun
dreds of like examples might be given, but
they would only tend to extend our article.
tru,t, therefore, that the Loaisla tore
may adopt the suggestions of Governor Bie
ler, and provida for the appointment of a
skillful Nerirtiltural Chemist, arid we feel
well as opal that the greatest good n ill re
sult to the agricultural interests of our State,
from the examinaiions and pu blications to
be made by this officer.—Dun. Union.
