ALBERTsoN, PALMER g. BRowv
Publishers and proprietors of the Sor,bro,
In accepting the editorial charge Of n.
PLANTERS lNDEx," the subscriber has done 81
with the hope of being useful TO the comm.
nifty and Of deriving advantage to himself
He can promise but little, saving an un,irir,
industry and devoted zeal towards the ,Io
vancement of the great source of the prosper.
lty and happiness Of our country.
| The real prosperity Of a State depends on
its Agriculture; and the more closely the sci.
ence is pursued, the more apparent will be the
necessity of simplifying her bounties.
For consecutive years we have continued 10
increase our productions of cotton beyond the
legitimate demand for the article. 1t is now
conceded by all, that more diversified hus
bandry should prevail.
An object of the Planters Index being al
improvement of the soil, the necessity Of in
Producing a system or systems of manuine
and rotation IF crops, will receive such alten
ton as the importance of the subject so i'm
atlvely demands. As means of producing
portion OF the manure, the imPortuuoeO(U tn
proving the breed and condition of our stock
nd Hln
suit our wants, will necessarily demand at
tention.
Horticulture shall receive such notice as tn
wishes of the community shall seem TO re
quire.
The necessity of Geological Surveys of tn
Southwestern States, will be as furcibly pre-
sented to the public as the editor is capable
exhibiting. Without knowledge of the cor
stituents uf the soil, we can never hope 10 e,
Gel in the noble science of Agriculture.-W
are but grouping in the dark.
Although not primarily designed for the Ol
I]ect, yet is the cultivation of the minds Of Il
youth Of the country of such immense in
portance, that EDUcATIoN shall receive prom
nent attention.
In short. it is designed to "improve the 81
and the mind"
The editor will further state, that to rend
the journal more certain of being useful, it
his intention TO apply the proceeds of the col
pensation arising from conducting the wo
to the cultivation of an EXPERIMENTAL FAH
the experience derived from which. shall
regularly communicated through the colun
of the Index.
With these brief general views, as an
pose of the design of the work, we conn
ourselves to the indulgence of the public.
JAMES II. WHITE
