réf. 4678JOSEPH SLOCUM 1800-1853. Slocum was a merchant from Syracuse New York who attempted to sell farm equipment to Russia in the nineteenth century. He was unable to turn a profit from his endeavors and his family fell into financial hardship. His daughter Margaret Olivia Scolum Sage became an influential philanthropist and teacher.

St. Petersburg Russia. The four page handwritten manuscript is entitled Some Rough Hints About the Productive Power of Russian Agriculture. It states in part: European Russia it may be divided grosso muto in three great regions or belts running from East to West. 1st - The first region extends between the White Sea and the provinces of Tver Smolensk Nijni-Novogorod & Kazan - it contains more wood low marshy ground intermixed the sand Baron then arable land. Rye oats barley potatoes hemp and flax are the main products of that region. 2nd - the second section of the Empire being comparatively densely populated forms a central part of the European Russia it is particularly addicted to manufacturing pursuits. It's Southern limits is about the course of the Oka River & the Central Valley of the Volga. The agricultural products are nearly the same as aforesaid. 3rd - the third region extending to the south and southeast as far as the Black Sea the provinces of Ashnaklan and the Ural Mountains reaches the Carpathian mountains Galicia & Moldavia in the West. It is mostly covered with a rich strata of black earth with a subsoil of clay lime & sandstone. Minoru is generally not used in this part of the country vulgarly called the step or prairie count the staple products of the fertile district are rye winter and summer wheat especially summer wheat - the summer frosts in the autumn preventing the seeds of the winter week to start up well millet oats barley peas buckwheat field poppy hemp flax & linseed. Cotton & Vine are raised merely in the most remote districts of the South such as Georgia Astrakhan the territory of the Cossacks of the Don Crimea & Bessarabia. Three other very important staples of Steph region are livestock & saltworks & fisheries. The stock consists mainly of horned cattle and horses grazing in large herds on the pastorate of the steps of the Black Sea As well as on both sides a lower Volga. Sheep both Merinos Saxon & form and main object of the agricultural industry of the step and owners. The Russian or common sheep is generally the property of the peasantry. The wool and tallow are usually sent overland in the winter to the manufacturing districts of the central belt of Russia Moscow. Or exported via Odessa Taganrog Riga & Petersburg to England and France. The saltworks are especially remarkable on the left sure the Volga on the verge of the province of Astrakhan as well as near the Ural River not far from the city of Orenburg. The Lake Elton alone of a circumference of nearly 180 miles is a solid mass of salt inexhaustible in its mineral riches. The stone saltworks of Gletznaia.As well as the saltworks a Crimea produce an immense quantity of that precious mineral. Besides that all the basin of the Caspian is full of an infinity of small salt lakes. The main fisheries are at the mouth of the Volga on the Caspian they produce an enormous quantity of fish of all kind. Besides that of the fisheries of the Ural River on the Don. The main fluvial artery of Russia is the Volga it is a Mississippi of our country. Its length is upwards 3000 miles. Unfortunately it is frozen up during nearly 6 months of the year.
