Abstract

The Agrarian Section was a common name of the IIIrd Section оf Agrarian Industry in Varsovian department of Society of Industry and Trade Advancement. It was established in 1890 and in the course of time it became a national representation of Polish agriculture interests. The Agrarian Section played a big part in field of horse-breeding. Especially members of this section propagated usable half a blood-horses. Because of this activity the Congress Kingdom of Poland was obligated to deliver saddle-horses to Russian army. There was great chance for main saddle horse-breeder (gentry). In this way they had an opportunity to get to Russian ready market. The Agrarian Section had also achievements in labour horse-breeding (in this lime this kind of horses was already main beast of draught in Polish agriculture). In 1907 instead of the Agrarian Section there was founded the Central Agrarian Society. That was new social-agricultural organization in the Congress Kingdom of Poland.
