Chairrr.an of the Commit'^e, to thr Ma^is*rat?s and Inhabitants as- s» nbleJ at Bath, in the Township of Er- uestlawn, on the 13th February, 1819- REPORT. In proposing to the inhabitants of the Midland Disttiet the establishment of an Agricultural Soch(y? your Committee an; of opinion, thai a stimulus will be gifc veil to active industry, not so much by holding out rewar4sras by throwing open a field for laudabla competition. 1 ^.vr^^.V 'IisVjii.- potimu o, #8* Y*ro- vinr" is, oi advaivtaRos,every way sunt?- rio.r5 i< i.*' lanu'tifaWe t<> ob^-ivc tin- very li'Mf progress which has hitherto been made in Agricultural improvement. Unhappily there exfcl in tliiscountry mam inducements to turn away the at¬ tention of the farmer from th'- true ob- j<7rt- of bis prolosMOii. One is allured by (ho ftpparei tly lucrative, though at all time* precarious employment of lurn- herlng ; another i$ seducodbythemlstn- ken notion of respectability and caso, which is attached to the occupation of kf-pin^a Store : nuc] a third, if, uufor- tunaicly tor him, his Hand be situated on the public road, csunot resist the torap- tatiou which Tavern Keeping holds out. Of necessity the^e tarious employments operate a* so many hindrances to an hus- banrimnn's success. Without anv other ob,se*Tvatioit, \t may be sufficient to re- mailU. thai two avocations rarely pros¬ per i n the hands of one man. To give a new bout to their ;nclina- tions, to point out to the agricultural part of this community where their in¬ terest really lies, must, your Committee are assured, be the desire, as the result of such undertaking will be the benefit of every member of Society. The object of this Institution ought strictly to be confined to these purposes, and thftfe should be n-» methods, which seem in any way calculated to produce them, wliich should not be tried, and ii" 3ucce>sful, adopted. The distribution of prizes, your Com¬ mittee are of opinion, must of necessity be chiefly confined to the productions «*f the grazier, under existing circumstan¬ ces it might perhaps be impossible to make awards to rue farmer, who produ¬ ced most grain or* an acre, or who had his farm in the highest state of cultiva¬ tion. But even \i it were otherwise, en¬ couragement seeiOS chiefly to be required to promote more generally the breeding, and rearing of Steck. The war, it is said, created so great a demand that scarcely any cattle were lrft to continue the breed. But surely if a proper attention had been paid, as the cause of the deficiency has s# long ceased to operate, the deficiency itself might have by this time been remo¬ ved. Upon this consideration vourCommit- tec hesitate not to affirm, that much good will necessarily result, from furnishing to every individual an opportunity to ac¬ quire distinction by his superior skill and superior attention. The proceedings of the Society lately established at York, under the denomi¬ nation of the Agricultural Society of the Upper Province, have not escaped the notice of your Committee. Keeping how¬ ever in view* the vast extent of the Pro¬ vince, it does not seem feasible that this Society should have any closer connec¬ tion with it than that wliich an occasion¬ al correspondence may form. In a preliminary address it is neither necessary, nor would it be ad&eable to take too wide a view of the subject. Un¬ doubtedly there is an extensive field for trp.roycnu'ut every way, and ^ereaftej many useful suggestions may be offered fur i.doption. RULES and REGULATIONS. 1st.
