When writing advertisers be sure to say 
Yoa saw it in the American Agriculturist 
ucts of the farmer may be easily and 
speedily transported to the place of 
sale.’ Naturally enough, he voiced the 
country’s admiration of New York en¬ 
terprise as visible in the comparatively 
recent construction of the Erie Canal. 
Nor was the future of New York as 
a leading agricultural State hidden 
from his prophetic vision. This pas¬ 
sage from his address might have been 
delivered, with far stronger emphasis, 
seventy years later: ‘New York City 
has been brought very near your doors. 
The great emporium of this conti¬ 
nent lies close before you. You are 
rich in your home market—a market 
of purchase and sale. All New York 
is at your feet. You can deal with 
her as if you lived in one of her wards 
—I mean for all the purposes of 
commerce.’ 
The Plowing Contest of 1843 
‘‘From the list of attractions of the 
third State Fair, the eagerly looked- 
for ‘plowing match,’ must not be 
omitted. This enlivening trial of skill 
in one of the most familiar operations 
of husbandry took place on the last 
day, on a farm near the eastern limits 
of the city, and among the thousands 
of spectators were Webster, Van 
Buren, and Seward. Eighteen plow¬ 
men entered the competition, the full 
number the field would accommodate. 
One-quarter of an acre was allowed 
to each team, and the time limit was 
an hour and ten minutes. It was a 
contest between horses and plowhold- 
ers, no drivers being permitted. The 
excellence of the work as well as the 
time required was to be the test for 
the award. History is silent as to the 
identity of the real winner, or win¬ 
ners, in this celebrated competition. 
It must have been a drawn battle, 
for the State Fair annalist informs us 
that ‘scarcely two of the spectators 
could agree as to the individuals to 
whom the premiums should be awarded.’ 
The prosperity and the popularity of 
the Fair continued in spite of the dis¬ 
tractions of the Civil War. The ex¬ 
hibits at Rochester in 1862, and at 
Utica' in 1863, drew average attend¬ 
ances. It was following the Utica 
Fair that the society was about to an¬ 
nounce an innovation in the form of 
permanent buildings. It was described 
in the records of the society as “an 
advance toward the style of edifica¬ 
tion in which agriculture will yet dis¬ 
play its annual triumphs.” 
It was about nine years after the 
Utica Fair that the society took an¬ 
other step toward a permanent loca¬ 
tion, when it made an agreement with 
the Chemung County Board of Supervi¬ 
sors to come to Elmira every three years 
for a twelve-year period. This agreement 
was carried out, which accounts for the 
regularity with which the Fair visited 
Elmira from 1872 to 1884. However, 
this contract with Chemung County 
had hardly expired when public- 
spirited citizens of Syracuse organized 
a movement that eventually brought 
the Fair to its permanent home. In 
1887, popular subscriptions and munici¬ 
pal appropriations, aided with the of¬ 
fer of one hundred acres of ground 
within easy access of the city’s busi¬ 
ness center, brought the famous ex¬ 
position to Syracuse. The State Fair 
of 1889 had been promised to Albany. 
But in 1890, the Fair welcomed its 
friends to its appointed domicile, and 
its days of wandering were over. 
There is only one other chapter to be 
added to the eventful history of the 
New York Agricultural Society’s con¬ 
trol and management of the Fair, and 
that is the relinquishing of that con¬ 
trol to the State. In spite of the fact 
that the Fair steadily gained in favor 
in its new home, it was not a financial 
success. The failure of the society to 
make both ends meet, and the rapid 
accumulation of heavy debts, finally 
compelled it to resort to the State gov¬ 
ernment for financial aid and relief. 
In 1900 it became a State institution. 
To-day, as we walk across the beau¬ 
tiful grounds, and look upon the mag¬ 
nificent buildings, and admire the ex¬ 
hibits of crops, fruits, livestock, poul¬ 
try, and machinery almost without 
number, it is truly remarkable the 
great progress that has been made in 
the Empire State. 
The recprds of the old New York 
State Agricultural Society, from its 
organization to the present, would 
make a fair basis upon which to build 
a history of agriculture of eastern 
United States.
