In connection with the foregoing, intended
to submit an Addrcss-setting forth reasons
WHY an Agriculture! paper should be sustained
IN the South. West but leave that duty to be
better performed by the many public.splrlted
gentlemen whom this Prospectus may reach &c.,
entreating all, who feei the magnitude OF the
cause. to mount their horses forthwith, and
snend a day or two in endeavors to form Clubs OF
subscribers These Clubs will be the nuclei for
presently forming societies, establishing agrIcul-
tnral Libraries, holding neighborhood fairs, &c
thus cementing the community together, IN the
execution ofone common grand design,
This is certainlya favorable moment for gain
inc the public attention, when the excitement
of politics Is about to subside for a season.
The planters of the state should make it "a
common cause, to demand of the Legislature
Geological and Agricultural survey Of the state
It shall be one of the leading aims OF the Far
mer, ITO concentrate public opinion on this point,
so as to make it efficient upon our iunchonarles
Though long delayed, shall ever continue to
hope for the accomplishment OF this measure
If the agricultursts of the state would unite IN
demanding it, it might be effected by the Legs
ature to be elected in November, 1919 Say,
fellow citizens, will you aid u.s. in orr endeavors
to reach the public ear, on a topic so important
to the welfare of our state!
We are so arranging our business, as to admit
of our riding much through the country-and we
hope to spend at least a third of oar time in WIS.,
ItIhg our patrons, III uInoIvnt ---.!----- We
shall endeavor also, one or the other or both of
the Editors, to be present at all Fairs or Cattle
Shows held in this or the adjoining states.
In conclusion, | would state that it is my in.
tention to devote myself more directly to the
interests of the paper than heretofore; and am
assured by my coadiutor, that he will take time
to visit farmers, and will give much more OF his
attention to the cause than his situation has
heretofore permitted.
