as from many parts OF that State, apprO
wing warmly the plan pursued by tn,
committee for promoting the introduction
Of agricultural hooks in the schools ant
libraries inthat State. The value of thi
movement may be estimated from the fac
that there ARE about twelve thousant
school and library districts, with superiD
tendents of schools in every town anc
country of that great State.
"Allusion.was made 10 the cheapness as
well as efficiency of this plan of action; in.
asmuch as il accomplshes its object by
bringing the whole common school organ
ization to aid the cause of agriculture and
florticullure; al the same lime that the
general interest The school must be large
Iy benefited by the increased practical
value impaired to education through this
connection with what is appropriately
termed the staple business of sociely-the
culture of the5earth.'
"After mature consideration, il was de-
,ermined that. the National Agricultural
Society approve and adopt the plan set
forth by lhe New York Stale Agricultural
Society. as a: plan that is applicable where
ever schools or colleges exist and which
can be prosecuted cheaply aud efficiently.
especially in Estates where school organi-
gallons are judiciously arranged.
''With lhasview Of promoting the extern
sion of this .plan throughout the United
States, additional corresponding secreta-
ries were appointed as follows: T, s..

New York; Thomas Af1leck Of Mississippi; {;

with each other and particularly with the

these proceedings to be published in the

the publication till your Convention meets,
and lay it before them. Do as you think
best. One thing is certain, that no single
State can apply the remedy; nor any TWO
or three by mere Conventions. Some
generul plan must be adopted, and all be
assured that all are bound. or at least
three.fourlhs, which would be sufficient.
As for myself, l am fully satisfied, that il
the whole newspaper power of the South
and West, can be brought into full blast
on the subject, the people will act, and
acl wisely.
A word as to myself as a planter. I
have made three crops in this State. Last
year made $50 bags of 400 lbs.-say 6 to
Z bags to the hand; and were it not for
the income arising from other sources, !
should be doing a dull if not improbable
business. How, then, can planters con-
tinue TO grow cotton at present prices, who
only make 3 to bags 10 the hand ? They
are on the broad road to ruin. They must
and will bankrupt themselves.
Very respectfully,

then every man becomes sacredly bound
before his God and his country to stand by
his pledge-and every man will do it as
It is his highest interest to do it-and il
there should be any agricultural traitor on
the list, he will easily be detected, as bis
name is alphabetically spread on the re-
cord of bis Society. Any person having

from them, can he addressed by The Presi-
dents Of the Societies 10 the counties con-
tanning such farms, and their agents or.

This is the simple plan for remedying
the evils Of Too much cotton, and too little
money. II is practicable. Three county
meetings is all that is required on our,
part, The press Of the south has already
been engaged in our behalf for months
past; faithfully warning us of the suicidal
policy we have been pursuing. One mau
has said, would plant less, if I could be-
assured that others would. Indeed, this
has for years been the voice Of every: one.
We now have the remedy in our own
hands, let US apply it. If we pursue our
old way of raising more cotton because
the price is low, we are but, 10 use wes-
tern phrase, "piling on the agony" We
are exhaus,ing our lands, our negroes, our
stock, ourselues /; while England is laugh
ing in her sleeve. and mocking at our ca
lamities. She knows, as we'll as she
knows that Two and two make four, that
we are pursuing policy which ere long

ble-,he surest way of bringing about her
darling scheme Of emancipation for it is
universal law of nature and nations, thar
where property becomes not only unpro-
ductive, but an actual expense to the own
er, it will in time be abandoned. If we
will be wise to-day, grow less cotton, get
better prices and thereby make our slave
labor profitable, we can then defy the
world.
Il Is needless to say to practical farm
ers, that by growing less cotton. we can
raise more grain and more stock; repair
our houses and fences and manure, and in
a thousand other ways employ our time.
much more pleasantly and ,pro6tably.-.
By planting half the usual quantity Of
land in cotton, it may be supposed lbe
best would be selected, which in the ag-
gregate would produce about two-thirds
