. INTRODUCTORY NOTE

Washington's great as'oiration was to "be a successful farmer. Having settled at Mount Vernon in 1759, each time he was called to his co'UJitry's service he left his famin-' v.ith ^.reater reluctance. During the long and trying years of the American Revolution and also later during his "oresidency he constantly locked' forwarr] to the day when he could lay down his ^ouhlic duti-es and return to Mount Vernon. In I78S he wrote to Arthu.r Young, then the foremost- exponent of improved agricultural methods in Z'n'land, that "The more I am acquainted ivith agricultural affairs, the "better I am pleased with them; insomuch, that I can no where find so great satisfaction as in those innocent and useful pursuits. In indulging these feelings, I am led to reflect how much more delightft)! to an unde"bauched mind is the task of mpJcing improvements on the earth, than all the vain glory which can "be ac- quired from ravaging it, iDy the most uninterr'u;pted. career of conquests." Sinilar expressions of this view arc found throughout his corresnondence and are attested "by the incidents and ohservations recorded in his diaries.

In his attitude toward agriculture, Washington exem-olif ied the spirit of scientific research. His farming was remarkahle in that he did many things advocated hy agi'iculturist.s of today. He worked to conserve his soil and check its erosion, he diversified his crops, and he pioneered in using new machinery until Mount Vernon "became a veritable experimental farm. In attempting scientific farming his task was not easy. Today any farmer in America can get technical information and suggestions "by writing the United States Department of Agriculture, the agricultural college or experiment station of his State, the local county agent, or one of the many farm journals, "but Wasliington had no such aids. Only a few at that time were interested in improved methods, and he had to seek facts hy ex- perimenting and "by corresponding with mem'bers of a small group in England, led ty Arthur Young and John Sinclair, who were making carefu.l studies a?id publishing their findin':;'s. Extensive notes among Washington's papers indicate how carefully he read the writings of these men.

Washington's interest in agriculture was not limited to Mount Vernon. His wide travels throu-ghout the colonies and his acquaintance with the leading agricu-ltu.rists of Europe as well as America gpve him a comprehensive understandin',; of the importance and needs of agriculture in the Nation he did so much toward creating. Washington had a vision of an empire of farms west of the Alleghenies, o.nd he led in the efforts to im- prove transportation facilities between the headwaters of the Potomac River and those of the Ohio in order that the farmers who settled in the West could have a market for their crops. In his last anmial message to Congress he recommended the creation of a "board of agriculture to collect and distri"bute information on improved methods of agriculture and ""by premi^JIns and small peciiniary aids to encourage and assist a spirit of discovery and improvement." The Nation had. to wait many years for the eJtecutive department v;hich he envisioned.

- 1 - Washington gradually added to his inherited holdings, and at one time or another he owned 3ome 63,615 acres of land in thirty-seven localities, together with twenty-four city lots and one vhole square. However, the Mount Vernon estate, co ii^rising approximately 5,C77 acres and divided into five farms and woodlands, received his major attention. In connection with this estate, he oTserated a fisher:^, a ferry, ajid two girst mills.

Conserving the soil and checking its erosion were of first importance in Washington's mind throu'hout the years following the "Revolution. Vfhen loo".:ing for a new mana,ger he demanded that the man must "b^, "above all, Midas like, one who ci-n convert everything he touches into manure, as the first tr-''.nsmutation toward gold; in a word, one who can bring v/ornout and gullied lands into good tilth in the shortest time." He experimented with various fertilizers and used marl and muck from the Potomac Fiver bottom on some of his fields. Mechanical difficulties, however, prevented spreading river mud as fertilizer on a Ir.rge scale. Noah VJebster s-'-id that at the time of his visit to MouLit Vernon the standing toast was "Success to the mud I"

In the early 1760's, Washington, like all other "ol^nters in lower Virginia, specialized in tobacco. In 1759 made 3^,lbO --oixids of it, and in I763, 89,079 ^-o-^nds; by 1773. however, the amount hi'.d dro'iped to 5,000 pounds, and during the cov.rse of the next fifteen years he -oractical- ly discontinued raisinr it. He realized that continuous single crop-cing would destroy the fertility of the soil and turned to other croT)s. By

careful seed selection, he dcvelo"oed r, vcr^' good strain of wher.t. In com- menting on the flour rac'.do in his mills for shipment to 'alriitr.tions in the West Indies, he stated that his was as good in quality as any '-reduced in A-Tierica. He experimented with new crops and -orocured seed from other colonies and England. As errly as I760, he sowed lucerne, loiovn today as alfrlfa. He was interested in clovers and grasses, not only as a means of conserving the soil, bv.t rlr.o t provide feed for his livestock.

Of special concern to Washington was the itrorovaraent of the drills used in his time. Soon after he settled at Meant Vernon he "Fitted a two Eyed Plo-v instead of a Duck Bill Plow," but the results "cre not satisfactory, and a little later, he "Sr^ent the greater part of the d2.Y in mrking a new olow 01' my own Invention." Ho recorded that "She answered very well." Later he imoortcd an iaprov'^d pLotherhcm or patent plow from En|:land.

V'ashington' s observrtions in the northern colonies while le-^.ding the army cAiring the Revolution turned his attention to the desirability of koepin. more and better livestock. Ho was, according to his ov.ti account, the first Amaricr.n to rrise muLes. Soon after the War for Indepo idc^ncc he asked the American representative in Spain "to procure permission to extract a Jack ass of the best breed," but ex-oortation of these animals was at that time prohibited. The King, ho;; ever, in 1785, sent him two .jacks and two jennets. One jack died on the way but the other arrived safely and was rr.pror)riatcly n^med "Royal Gift." This ri.imrl wrs later taken on a tour of the Southern States. In 178b General Lafryctte cent Washington a jack and two jennets of the Malta breed. Washington greatly improved his cheep, increasing the wool produc- tion to pounds as the average fleece, whereas his npidihors seldom clipped 2 poujids. His records show that he had ahout six hvaidred sheep in 1793* his efforts to improve his flock, he found the restrictions on the exportation of breeding animals from the Mother Country a decided drawhack. In a letter to Arthur Young, he said: "But the great im- pediment is the British statutes; these discourage men of delicacy in this country, from attesting what might involve the master of a vessel in serious conseouences , if detected in the "breach of then. Others, however, less scrupulous, have attempted to import English r^ms with success, and, by this means, our flocks, in many places, are much imnoroved- raine, for instance, though I never was concerned, directlv nor indirectly, in the importation of one, further than hy buying lambs which have descended from them."

I'i'ashington believed records were essential to successful farming. During his years at Moxmt Vernon he kept a diary in which he recorded the happenings of the day, his agricultural and other exoeriments, a record of the people who ceme to visit him, and a detailed account of the weather. With this last information he hoped to dra-.v conclusion^ a.s to the best time for planting various croiDs. He also kept a cash memorandum- book, charge account books, mill books, and a special book for the accoimts of - the estate of his stepchildren, den away from home he required his manager to send him detailed weekly reports. These contained daily weather dc ta, the work done on each farm, what each person was doing, the losses and increases in livestock, and otrier similar matters. In return he wrote weekly letters containing inquiries, directions, and corrections.

Had the custom of designe.ting the best farmers as master farmers existed in Washington's day, he would have been one of few in all America entitled to that distinction. Certainly he stands in the forefront of the leaders to whose vision, determination, and judgment America owes its rapid progress in agriculture.

A study of Mount Vernon as a soiirce of ' ins^oiration for the g-.rdener of today. Chief e.ttention is given to the flower garden, the au.thor holding that the kitchen go.rden requires little attention.

"Errly trained c?,s Gurvpyor, Washington first journeyed across the rriountr ins in coinprny v/ith a p.'^rty .of surveyors s^nt out hy Lord F".irf?-,x to 'vr-r-rre his lands for tenantry. On this expedition Washin^ti^n le"rneci the nature of the lojid "iic

of the Indians who inh -.oited it. As surveyor his ' chserv -.tions • . , streiigtiiened ";md deeuened his conviction thr.t land ownership was the most important factor of colonial development.' "The French and Indian V;rr with the Enj^lish i<^v supremacy in the Ohio Valley again led Vfcshington to the West, as a defender '^f the frontier. Mr. Amhler has newly interrireted

; Washington's career in the militrry engagements 'with Jumon- villc and at Eort Wecossity -ejid. the M^nongr-hiela, in the liglit of ujiexploited contempor:"!"" newspaper accounts nf these conflicts.

These . sources present Wa,shington in a. more favrrahle aspect than did the French accoiuits, which, in the absence of other primary scarces, have heen acce-oted hy histcrirjis for ISO years. "After the Ohio Vall^^y h:;,d oeen cleared of the enemy, Washington, with r^thers, \7as er-ger to cl?im his Lands on the Ohio which the king had promised to those who volunteered to fight the French and Indi-.ns. He therefore made surveys,

struced his claims, '"^Jid ''.t tlio close of the Revolution o\;m.ed aoou.t 58,000 acres heyond the Alleghenies. Because of his' large holdings there have heer. contemporary and suhsequcnt impu.tr tions that his interests were largely selfish. These Mr. Ambler refutes with suostr-nti-^l evidence of Washington's complete readiness to forget "oersonal interests when public interests were involved, end he calls to mind that in sto.tcs- manship Washington is seen .^t his best in his efforts to

' unite the East-a.nd West." •
