Book excerpt: Excerpt from Forty-Sixth Annual Report of the Ohio State Board of Agriculture: With an Abstract of the Proceedings of the County Agricultural Societies, for the Year 1891, to the General Assembly of the State of Ohio From the abstract and the mention preceding it will be readily observed that the early work of the Board was entirely routine, simply the sending out and receiving of matter; and as there was no tabular work performed, there were no percentages to figure or no percentage comparisons to be made. Matter was ready for print when it was con noted and paged, while in the present times we consider the work of preparing reports only begun after the matter is received. By percentage comparison, not figuring the immense amount of additional labor required to' prepare matter for print as it is now given, there is shown an increase over earlier times in the Board of per cent, about seventeen times as much. No discredit is intended or should be reflected on the work of our earlier Boards; rather should they be praised for their earnest efforts in driving the entering wedges that have built up a department of State representing agriculture, that is the busiest of all State departments, its importance and influence in the agriculture of the State being felt in every township and farming community, and by every individual farmer who will but avail himself of the benefits to be derived from our work. There were no advanced measures or material increase in the work of the Board, except that occasioned by the increase and advance, year by year, of the Ohio State fair, until the year 1879 or 1880. The Fair was the one great object to which the efforts of the Board were directed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
