Subject Files, 1895-1927

The Subject Files are comprised of correspondence, pamphlets, advertisements, and records covering agricultural topics such as dairying, farm buildings, and feeding. Files related to Amoss's work in various organizations, such as the Farmers Market Company of Baltimore, are included in this series. Also included are files related to subjects of active interest to Amoss, such as a study of state gambling laws and a related draft of a speech attributed to his wife, Sarah Evelyn Breed, correspondence drafted by Amoss to the State Highway Commission supporting construction of the Belair-Harford Turnpike between Belair, Reckord, and Baltimore in order to facilitate the transportation of produce to the Baltimore markets, and drafts of speeches covering topics such as the Farmers' Institutes, the contribution of the farmer to the war effort, and African-American farm labor. A significant portion of the Subject Files deals with Amoss's work on the Maryland exhibit at the 1904 St. Louis World's Fair (Louisiana Purchase Exposition). Arrangement is alphabetical by topic.
