N.Y." The Farmer is gotten up in exceedingly good
taste--wel printed, and every department we'll sus
tanned.
The farming interests, we know, are much de-
pressed in our State and the lack of money is a Sc
rous obstacle in the way OF many just at this time
But it is especially important just now that OuI
farmers should avail themselves of all the helps they
can obtain from the experience and skill OF Others
to make their labor most remunerativc.
The subscription price is only SO year. and We
venture the opinion that the information contained
in either of several articles IN this number would be
worth more to the intelligent practical farmer than
the subscription for The whole year.
We trust the entcrprisng publishers will be fully
rewarded both in the pecuniary results and the i'm
proved agricultural system fOsicrcd by their labnrs

than ever, are Indispensable in Virginia and through

business men have been farmers and planters. She
is rich beyond any section OF our country in agrcul

tract immigration from the Northern States as well
as from Europe. There can be no surer Or better
plan for this than the one proposed, of spending a
few thousand dollars in advertising in England

only, of what inducements Virginia and some Other
States South can offer, be presented and spread

We expect much from associated efforts in the
South for agricultural improvement on systematic
and comprehensive scale. Agricultural societies
have always Ourshed there. and they are now need

that the Virginia State Agricultural Society is arcl-
dyreSusciaed, and its executive committee have had
a meeting This is right, and the ball should roll
on in this direction. TIE Farmer is not issued a
