Excerpt from The Royal Agricultural Society of England

It has been thought desirable to add to the series of Memoirs on English Agriculture, a brief account of the Royal Agricultural Society of England, - the institution under whose direction the book was written, and upon whose model the Societe des Agriculteurs de France was framed. Mr. Caird, in his Paper, alludes to the absence of a Ministry of Agriculture from our executive government, and the distribution of certain statistical, sanitary, and judicial functions between the Board of Trade, the Privy Council, and the Inclosure Commission. The other duties which usually devolve upon Ministries of Agriculture, such as stimulating improvement in the various breeds of live stock, in the cultivation of the land, in the education of the agricultural classes, and generally in what has been termed "the propaganda of agriculture" are in England ignored by the Government, and therefore left to the private initiative of individuals or Societies. The Royal Agricultural Society of England is the largest and the most influential of the Societies which have been established in the three kingdoms for the advancement of agriculture. Owing to its national character and the extent of its operations it has obtained the support of a large number of leading landowners and tenant-farmers in England and Wales, besides not a few in Scotland and Ireland, which portions of the United Kingdom also possess their own national Societies. Nearly every county and even many smaller districts in England can also boast of their Agricultural Society, each one having its independent management and its own annual Exhibition, except when the "Royal" comes their way, at which time the county Society generally suspends its Show for the year, and makes a contribution from its funds towards the expenses of the national Exhibition, most frequently in the form of special prizes having a local interest. It need scarcely be added that the Society receives no subsidy from the Government in aid of any of its operations.
