Excerpt from Second Report of Philip T. Tyson, State Agricultural Chemist: To the House of Delegates of Maryland, January, 1862
IT is certainly remarkable that agriculture, so capable of advancement, should have been pursued in an old beaten track without material improvement during many centuries. We cannot discover that the practice of agriculture in Eu rope, one hundred years since, was better than in Italy and in some other parts of the Roman Empire two thousand years ago. There is sufficient authority for maintaining that an enlightened system of rural economy had become prevalent during the Augustine age, and perhaps long before. To go further back we find that even the ancient Egyptians knew the benefits of a rotation of creps and were also skillful in adapting these to the soil and to the seasons. It has been es timated that after they were conquered by the Roman armies they supplied the imperial city with bushels of grain per annum, during many years.
It may be useful for us to inquire why it was that civilized nations one hundred years ago should have advanced agri culture little beyond the systems pursued by the ancient Romans and Egyptians.
In prosecuting this investigation we 'find that science was scarcely known among the ancients, and they had probably advanced agriculture as far as practicable Without scientific aid.
