ship in the county, and some of the most valuable privileges remain 

 unoccupied. 



Our well-water, with a very few exceptions, is remarkably good and 

 healthy. 



Considering that all kinds of crops have been produced upon land 

 half cleared, and not more than half tilled, may we not safely calcu- 

 late, now that a spirit of advancement is manifest among our farmere, 

 and a very general attention is being paid to the selection and use of 

 improved tools and implements, the best of teams, seeds, &c., as well as 

 a more systematic and thorough cultivation, together with the local ad- 

 vantage of markets, that very soon the county of Macomb will present 

 one of the fairest agricultural districts in this or any other State ? We 

 are aware that we set our standard of excellence very high, but the 

 good must be reached. 



Very respectfully, 



DEXTER MUSSEY, 

 Secy Macomb County AgrmiUiiral Society.
