User:Piledhigheranddeeper added an embedded comment to the article. I've taken the liberty of removing it from the article and putting it here instead for easier discussion. The comment was:
the capitalization implies that this was the name of an organization, and not simply a catch-all term for local farmers; is that the case?
The reference (Western Australian Journal) refers to the Agricultural Society (presumably the Royal Agricultural Society of Western Australia), so it's possible that "Agriculturists" refers to members of that society. However they did seem to capitalise quite a few nouns back then that we might not now. Mitch Ames ( talk) 00:41, 22 December 2013 (UTC)
