Excerpt from Preliminary Report, 1916
To the Honorable the General Assembly of the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations:
The undersigned members of the Commission, appointed by His Excellency the Governor, for the purpose of inquiring into the agricultural resources of the State, respectfully report as follows:
The Commission was appointed under the authority of an act passed by the General Assembly at the January session, 1915, and approved March 31st, 1915. This act required the Commission to inquire into the agricultural resources of the State and report to the General Assembly the result of such inquiry. The act further provides that the Commission shall make a report, which may be preliminary, to the General Assembly, at its session in 1916. As the subject is a very complex one the Commission found it impossible to complete its labors so as to make a final report this year and the report herewith submitted is therefore preliminary to a final report to be made later.
The Commission has held many meetings and has conferred with officials and citizens interested in agriculture, and in the short period of its existence, has so far aimed to get a general view of the problem before it, giving, however, especial attention to questions of marketing and dairying, since these seem to be the immediate importance. Other matters that seem worthy of consideration have been noted and are mentioned in the concluding part of this report, but your Committee intends to make special recommendations in regard to them in its final report.
