| Summary | "Address delivered by Hon. Henry H. Crapo, Governor of Michigan, before the Central Michigan Agricultural Society, at Their Sheep-Shearing Exhibition, Held at the Agricultural College Farm, On Thursday, May 24th, 1866" is a historical address written in the mid-19th century. The book serves as a record of a significant address delivered by the Governor of Michigan reflecting on agricultural practices, particularly focusing on sheep husbandry and the importance of agricultural education. The work emphasizes the transformation and development of agriculture in Michigan, particularly after the Civil War. In the address, Crapo discusses the state of Michigan post-Civil War and the resilience of its agricultural community. He recognizes the significance of the Central Michigan Agricultural Society in promoting agricultural knowledge and practices. The speech highlights the importance of sheep husbandry as a key area of focus, detailing the different breeds of sheep, their merits, and the economic implications for farmers. Crapo encourages farmers to pursue collective action to improve the quality and marketability of their wool, cautioning against overstocking and urging a balance of livestock. He concludes by advocating for the establishment and support of agricultural colleges to enhance the education of farmers and improve agricultural practices overall, positioning education as a vital component for the advancement of farming in Michigan.
