Good SUeeEsT1oN-A Georgia paper is
advising the establishment of agricultural
societies throughout the South, to meet he
changed conditions OF the system of labor,
and urges the scheme as a pressing necessi-
ty, for the reason that the attempt to carry
on the culture of the ground under the old
management, in such entirely different con-
ditions, will make the country poor, and
keep it SO forever.
This is an admirable suggestion. If fcv-
er there was time when the agriculture
lists of the South should take counsel to-
rether, it is now; and we trust that in
every Southern State the societies sugges-
ted, the old societies, will be revived or
new ones formed.
