Book Description

Excerpt from Sixtieth Annual Report of the Secretary of the Massachusetts State Board of Agriculture, 1912: Together With the Twenty-Fifth Annual Report of the Massachusetts Agricultural Experiment Station The interest in agriculture of the capitalist, or, perhaps we may better say, the interest of the man with money to invest, which was mentioned in the last annual report, has not only continued, but has greatly increased. The recent exhibitions of what Massachusetts and New England can produce in fruit and other produce have caused the scales to fall from the eyes of those who have seen only the possibilities of the west, and who have been blind to the greater opportunities lying beneath their hand and in close proximity to the best markets of the world. With these demonstrations of what can be done in a commercial way before them, these men are casting about for suitable locations for investing their money, not for pleasure, not as a toy, but as a real business venture.
