8-4-09- H.E.U FRANKFORT, Ky., January 1, 1879. To His Excellency, JAMES B. MCCREARY, Governor of Kentucky: SIR: The third and sixth sections of the law establishing the Bureau of Agriculture, Horticulture, and Statistics require the Commissioner to make out and compile an Annual Report, giving a general review of the agricultural and other industrial resources of the State, and such other information and statistics as he may deem of advantage and interest to the citizens of the Commonwealth. In accordance with this requirement, I have compiled the following Report, and submit the same for publication and general distribution. In this volume will be found much useful information, carefully collected, which, I trust, will be of great advantage to the various industries of our State. |
