Besides these services, he has instituted and provided for a 

 series of weekly meetings of the farmers in the Legislature, 

 and others interested in agricultural improvement, which have 

 been held during three successive sessions of the Legislature, 

 which meetings he has punctually attended, and of which he 

 has constantly furnished full reports for the public papers. 

 These meetings have been the means of eliciting and diffusing 

 a large amount of practical agricultural intelligence, gathered 

 from the experience of some of the most intelligent farmers in 

 this, and in other States. They have been much attended, their 

 utility acknowledged, and they have been visited by many dis- 

 tinguished gentlemen of science and skill, from various parts of 

 the country.
