The first savings bank in Albany was established in 1820; in Troy. in 1825; in Brooklyn, in 1827; and in Buffalo, in 1836. Most of these banks were originally required to report to the Legislature ; but their returns were seldom published. Under the act of March 20, 1857, they are required to report to the the incorporated villages of the State.
3 Previous to this act, villages were incorp. by special acts of the Legislature, and the articles were filed in the State Depart- ment: but since, the filing of articles has become a mere local affair ; and it is extremely difficult to obtain a complete list of

AGRICULTURE.
THE climate of the State is adapted to the cultivation of most of the crops and fruits of the temperate zone. The improved lands comprise a little more than one-half of the entire area of the State, and of these 37 per cent. is devoted to pasturage and 25 per cent. is occupied by meadow lands. The principal crops, in the order of relative amount, are oats, corn, wheat, buckwheat, rye, and barley, together occupying 37 per cent. of the cultivated lands,-leaving 1 per cent. for the minor crops and gardens. The northern cos. of the State and the highland regions along the s. border and upon the Hudson are much better adapted to pasturage than tillage; and the people in these sections are almost exclusively engaged in stock and sheep raising and in dairying. Little more grain is raised than is strictly necessary for a proper rotation of crops ; and the greater part of the grain for home consumption is imported from other sections of the country. The low lands that surround the great lakes and occupy the greater portion of the surface in the w. part of the State are best adapted to grain growing. Several sections of the State are found peculiarly adapted to particular products. The Mohawk Valley intervales have been long almost exclusively devoted to the cultivation of broom corn. The Chemung Valley, parts of Onondaga co. and several other sections are becoming known as tobacco raising districts. Hops are extensively cultivated in Madison, Oneida, Otsego, and Schoharie cos. The Hudson Valley below the High- lands, the N. shore of Long Island, and the s. extremity of several of the lake valleys in the cen- tral portion of the State are well adapted to the culture of grapes. Maple sugar is largely pro- duced in the northern cos. and in the central highland districts. Upon Long Island and in West- chester large sections are devoted to the cultivation of vegetables for the New York market. The people of Orange, Rockland, Westchester, Putnam, and Dutchess cos, are largely engaged in fur- nishing the city of New York with milk.1
The New York State Agricultural Society was formed by a convention held at Al- bany in Feb. 1832; but for several years it received no support from the State and held no regular fairs. In 1841 the society was re-organized, and measures were adopted for raising funds and hold- ing annual fairs. On May 5 of that year, an act was passed by the Legislature, appropriating $8,000 for the encouragement of agriculture, $700 of which was to go to the State Society, and the re- mainder was to be divided among the co. societies in the ratio of Assembly representation. This appropriation has been continued until the present time. The society is required annually to re- port to the Legislature a full account of its proceedings, and such facts concerning the agricul- tural condition of the State as may be of general interest. The volumes of Transactions are published by the State, and are widely distributed among the farming population. The annual fairs are held in different parts of the State, and are largely attended.2 They usually succeed in

The Society for the Promotion of Agriculture, Arts, and Mann- factures was instituted Feb. 20, 1791. and incorp. March 12. 1793. For more efficient action, it in 1801 divided the State iuto as many agricultural districts as there were cos., in each of Cayuga, Monroe.

County and Town Societies .- The act of 1853 allows county agricultural societies to purchase and hold real estate to an amount not exceeding $25,000 and personal property not ex- ceeding $1,000, for the purposes set forth in their articles of incorporation, and for no other pur- poses. Town and other societies may hold real estate to the amount of $10,000 and personal property to the amount of $3,000. Each county or union society must have at least one director or manager for each town; and cach town, village, or eity society must have not less than 10 directors, who are elected annually by ballot. Upon application of two-thirds of their members to the Supreme Court of the district in which they are located, these societies may obtain an order for the sale of a part or the whole of their property. An amendment to the act was passed April 13, 1855, by the provisions of which the number of directors was changed to 6, 2 of whom are elected each year for a term of three years. Any person may become a life member by the pay- ment of a sum not exceeding $10; and the officers are jointly and severally liable for all debts due from the society contracted while they are in office, if suit be commenced within one year
passed April 7, 1819, created a board of agriculture and appro- priated $10,000 annually for 2 years, to be distributed for the pro- motion of agriculture and family domestic mannfactures in the several cos., on condition that a similar sum should be subscribed by the co. societies formed under this act. A board. formed of the president, or a delegate chosen from each co. society, niet. annnally at Albany, elected officers, examined reports, and selected for publication such returns as they deemed proper. These were published by the State. Three volumes of Memoirs were issued, and the board continned in existence but little longer than the appropriation was continued. County societies, on the plan of the Berkshire Co. Agricultural Society, began to be formed in 1817 ; and, by the exertions of De Witt Clinton, El- kanah Watson, and other friends of the measure, they were extended to most of the cos. These societies, after a brief period, fell into disuse; and that of Jefferson co. is the only one of this class that can trace an unbroken descent from that period.
The first officers of the present State Agricultural Society, formed in 1832, were Le Ray de Chaumont, President ; E. P. Livingston. Jacol Morris, and Robert L. Rose. Vice Presidents; P. S. Van Rensselaer, Recording Secretary : Jesse Buel, Corre- spending Secretary ; Charles R. Webster, Treasurer ; and II. W. Delavan. John Townsend. and Il. Hickox. Executive Committee. County societies were again instituted in many of the cos. under the influence of this society ; but most of them were short lived. The " Cultivator" was begun in March. 1834, by Jesse Buel, under the guarantee of Stephen Van Rensselaer and James Wadsworth, as the organ of the society and medium of contin- nication between the friends of agriculture ; and it has been con- tinued ever since, under private auspices, but entirely devoted to the interests of agriculture. It has for many years been pub- lished by Luther Tucker, of Albany.
Any person a citizen of the State may become a member of the State Society upon payment of $1 annually, or a life mem- ber by payment of $10 at one time. Presidents of co. societies und one delegate from each are er officio members. The officers of the society are clected aunually in Feb., and consist of a
President. one Vice President from each of the Judicial Districts, a Recording and a Corresponding Secretary, a Treasurer, and an Executive Committee, consisting of the above aud 5 others chosen for the purpose.
Premimins are awarded in money, plate, medals, books, and diplomas ; and the society embraces within the field of its patron- age not only stock. farm, and garden products and implements of husbandry. but a wide range of useful and ornamental manu- factures, particularly those which are the products of home in- dustry.
