We believe we can find no
more useful matter to lay before
our readers, than the Report
made by Agricultural Associa-
tons at the South, on their vari-
Gus culture, and the operations
that experience enables them to
offer. The reader will find be-
low the commencement of a Sc
ries of Reports of this character,
by an Agricultural Association
in our adjoining State, South
Carolina, which we find IN the
Columbia Carolinian. Observa-
tons suited to that region, are of
course equally applicable to our
own, and cannot fail to be both
useful and agreeable to our read
