FIFTH ANNUAL REPORT.

COLUMBUS, OHIO, JANUARY 13, 1850.

To the General Assembly of the State of Ohio:

In obedience to the requisitions of the law creating the State Board of Agriculture, the undersigned respectfully presents the fifth annual report of that Board.

[blocks in formation]

In my last report, the various subjects that it would be proper to consider were so fully discussed, that I deem it unnecessary to repeat many of them, and after a few extracts and brief remarks, will leave the various reports, essays and articles, to speak for themselves in detail.

A pursuit which engages the attention of four-fifths of our population, and is so intimately interwoven with the interests of all classes, that its prosperity gives life and energy to all other pursuits, which is the true basis of national wealth, and upon which commerce, arts and manufactures, depend for their very existence, is one of so much importance, that to give it aid and encouragement by all legitimate means, is a sound policy, dictated by common sense, and perfectly obvious to every intelligent mind.
