Excerpt from First Report of Philip T. Tyson, State Agricultural Chemist, to the House of Delegates of Maryland, January, 1860
In the early settlement of a country, and whilst the num ber of inhabitants is limited, a very defective system of agri culture will produce more than a sufficient supply of food. But with a large increase in population, the same imperfect system will no longer suffice. The land must be better tilled, its qualities and defects be studied, and means gradu ally adopted for extracting the maximum produce from every portion susceptible of cultivation.
