AGRICULTURAL SURVEYS PRICES CURRENT. 



.AcF-icuLTURAL SURVEYS. — The Legislature 

 of Maryland would do well to provide for an 

 Agricultural Survey of the State. It might be 

 divided into the Eastern Shore, to be reported 

 apon, we will venture to suggest, by such a 

 .man as Col. N. Goldsboro. The Western 

 Shore, upper wheat Counties, by Mr. Stabler 

 of Montgomery, the hay region around Balti- 

 inoi'G, by Dr. G. B. Smith, and the tobacco re- 

 gion by W. W. Bowie, Esq. Such reports, on 

 the Agricultural practices and resources of the 

 several Counties, would be of more real value 

 .tlian all the party wrestling for the next two 

 mouths at Annapolis, just to see which party 

 can get tbe " back-lock" on the other. For all 



the time that is thus spent in party wrangling 

 and maneuvering, the people — the Farmers — 

 must pay , while, for a full development of the 

 Agricultural condition and wants of the State 

 these partisan leaders, calling themselves legis- 

 lators, would refuse to appropriate a dollar, and 

 that for fear oilosing their popularity with their 

 agricnUural constitxents .' — So we go! hum- 

 bugged and demagogue-ridden to the end of the 

 chapter! The wisest man who would seek the 

 popular support, with views exclusively to the 

 general welfare, would be laughed at as a 

 greenhorn ! Hence has party spirit been called 

 " the madness of the many, for the benefit of the 

 few."
