AGRICULTURAL POSSIBILITIES OF OUR COUNT'RY. 



THos. PARSONS, beforc Calhoun County Farmers' Institute. 



In writing upon this topic, I shall take the meaning of agriculture 

 in its broadest sense. Its different departments might be specialized, 

 but the fullest development of agriculture can only be attained in this 

 locality by diversified farming, so we have every branch of the industry 

 to choose from. 



Possibility is that which is not impossible or absurd, although ail 

 along the line of the world's history, what has been impossible in the 

 minds of the many has been possible and has been brought about by 

 the thinkers and workers of their generation. 



Farmers as a class are apt to look only on what appears to them 

 to be the practical side of the affairs of life and not to live in air castles 

 or set up ideals in their minds to strive to attain. Yet, all the advance- 

 ment that has been made was conceived in the mind long before its 

 realization.
