AGRICULTURAL.

To4he President Of the Agricultural So
c;et;es of South Carolina:-
: SGBsrIEMEN,-l ask your attent on to
the following resolution, adopted by the
State Agricultural Society.
"That the District and Parish Societies
be invited to present to this Society, at lts
Z next annual meeting, an essay or memoir
ON the subjects to which their notice may
. respectively be drawn by the President
whose business it shall be to designate
/. the topics OH which information is need
ed"
s There is, perhaps, no member of the
Confederacy more dependent on agrlcul-
ture than South Carolina; and none where
that important branch of industry is more
neglected. Of the States comprising the
Union. twenty have deemed it necessary
ssto aid the cause of the husbandman by
legislative enactments. South Carolina
has so far steadily refused to lend even
the influence of her name tot the uphold
ing of that pursuit on which her wealth
s and prosperity so intimately depend
On thistexigency, when, too, the moral
: and political elements have assumed a
: sombre hue, it becomes the southern tlller
I. Of the soil to arouse from his lethargy, and
to direct his efforts to the devlsing OF
means best calculated to promote the true
interests stsofhisvocation. Accurate knowl-
edge concerningthe defects of our agricu-
fnral practices, and the remedies that are
accessible and certain, is what is now
snainly wanted, In furtherance of this OBJ
iect. and the better to attain the end sub
stantialIy aimed at by the Society. I now
( respectfully submit the selection of the
Z topics forthe essaysto your better judg-
! jmlent, in the confident hope that such SUBJ
siects may be chosen, adapted to localities
as will afford light enough to guide us to
Z the goal Of useful and profitable labour.
III is conceded that there exist ruinous
errors in management, and great neglect
of means and facilities fer agricultural
Improvement. The fault is too common
for the planter to look exclusively to the
annual incomef from his crops, without TAX
q ing in the estimate at the years end whe-
therhis plantation regarded apermanent
investment of capital, has been improved,
or deteriorated.
81 Learned, or abstruse dissertations on
husbandry, although they would assist in
z bringing about correct opinions on many
8 points perhaps essential to our calling are
Z not. at this time, the surest means of ac-
) 7compIishing our purpose. Plain practical
ESSAYS alone, the necessity of the occasion
I imperatveIy requires. If the service
f designated in the above resolution be
faithfully performed, scarceyl need say
! = 10 YOU, that an impulse will be given to
agriculture in this State, ofvast and per.
manent utility. May add that this is
cause in which all can embark. Here
there are no collisions of interest or o
opinionto overcome, and no motives al
variance with private feelings, or public in
centives to action.
Ihave the honour to be,
very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
W w. B. SEABROOK.
