ALABAMA PL ANTER


 NNllE demonstrations in favor Of this enterprise, II both in ci'y and country, are SD marked and flat terIng, that tie undersigned is induced to hurry his arrangements issue the first number at early day as practicable.
 The leading object of the Planter, assis title in- dicaies, will be to advance the great agricultural in terests of the South, and 70 ad, as far possible, the agricultural reform now in progress m Alabama The wish seems to be general among our planters that some system should be adopted to lessen the production of cotton, which is ruling al rates below a remuneratng pri-e, that the value may thereby be enhanced. We have, however, little faith that any conventional arrangement Ca" be adopted to effect such object. But to attaIn the end m view, shall urge upon planters the policy of divertlng inc culture of other products, part ot the labor bestowed upon cotton, and present for heIr con sideraton those which are best suited to our soh and climate. At the same time, cotton itself will re- ceive all the attention necessary to induce more pains in it's culture, picking. ginning, proper selection of seed, manuring etc. In this way, il believed that few years public sentiment may be so operated upon to result in lessenng the quantity of cotton raised, as well as improving the quality.
 The Planter willbe published weekly in the quario form, imperial sheet of good quality, new type, aud printed in d superior style To those ac- quainted with the New Orleans "Week!y Picayune," ]" it will ba sufficient 10 say. the Planter will be made up d similar form, to contain as much matter and be fully equal in neatness of typography About a third of the space will be allotted the whole range
 
 greater amount of matter than is contained m any periodical devoted exclusively to these subjects The remainder will be occupied with such topics as will give variety 10 its columns and interest all class es of readers.
 As objects of paramount importance to our agr'- cultural, commercial and manuaciUrIng interests, Geologica Survey of the State, and JuhIcous sys, tem of internal Improvements, will be constantly and earnestly pressed upon the consideration oi the peo- pie and the Legislaure. s..
 Commerce will also receive that attention winch its importance inerits-nndsr which head, lull and accurate reports of the Mobile market and the cotton markets of the world will be given
 The plan, in short, is present in the most per- epicuous and attractive manner, every thng that can he supposed to interest our planters in relation to agriculture, commerce and manufactures: In addition ts which, all improvements and inventions in me- chanics arts and sciences will receive suitable nos tice and 10 render the publication still more accep table, space will be appropriated 10 synopsis o the current new of the day.
 The friends of the enterprise are assured that eve " effort will be made oil the part Of the proprietor to render the Planter in all respects worthy ot pa tronaee; and as one of the means, arrangements are in progress to secure regular contributions, on tnt various topics embraced in the plan, from competent | persons in different sections of the State. | The subscription is fixed at Five Dollars per an | num- to be paid in advance The price may appeal l high, but if the dimensions of the sheet and tht | amount and variety of matter are taken into consi deraton it will be found to be as cheap as the cheap est agricultural publication othe day, whether week | ly or monthly.
