STATE P03I0L0G1CAL SOCIETY, 



"It requires little demonstration of this character to show that this is no ephemeral sec- 

 tion. Agriculture, the great and enduring interest of all. save the mining portions of our 

 State, is ours to be wrought out to the extent of a leading business, as soon as its impor- 

 tance shall be fully and rightly considered. Our saline deposits are a permanent resource, 

 incalculable and inexhaustible. Timber is the capital wherewith these will be developed, 

 and the accumulations of all secured ; but, as any thinking man seems now to understand, 

 the chief matter of care and solicitude, and that which is by common consent being pushed 

 most earnestly throughout the whole Valley, is the farming interest." 



It was to help push this "farming interest" that the State fair was 

 located on the Saginaw river. The future will sustain this policy. The suc- 

 cess of this policy will depend mainly upon the good sense of the people of the 

 valley. If they appreciate the fact that this " farming interest" is a good thing 

 to fall back upon, that wheat, corn, and potatoes, stock of all kinds, with fruits 

 and flowers, mix in well with salt and lumber, and that a Diversified Industry 

 is the true destiny of the Saginaw Valley, then will the policy of locating the 

 State fair for 187i and 1875 in its midst, be most signally and triumphantly 

 vindicated.
