posed, we believe, principally Of Estate
Owners, Administrators and Managers,
with laws enacted BY the Society for the
government and management of the same
Whether these laws are suited to the
present times-selish or inconsistent
no one outside Of the Society car tell ;
since there is nothing published Of the
proceedings of their meetings. This Is
somewhat strange, as we consider the
Society n public one, or rather q Society
for the public good. When we say, for
the public good, VT mean 20 say, that
the interest and welfare Of the whole
community Of this place depend entirely
on The prosperity Of the planters. Such
being the case, and it is undeniabIc the
fact, we would therefore entreat such
officers Of the Agricultural Society, who
are 10 furnish reports of the transactions
and other business Of the Society to the
President, 10 make things generally
known for every person in This Island
takes q most lively interest in the affairs
of the planters, and nothing would be
more interesting than to;hear something
of what is passing among the members OF
this very necessary and essential Society.
There every planter has an opportunity
TO express either his surprise, satisfaction
or dissatisfaction, or whatever it may be,
OF The manner of cultivation and the
various important subjects connected
with Agriculture. Hence the value Of
such an Institution. Now, to facilitate
this useful Society, in bringing about The
publication of the proceedings Of their
meetings, we would propose to publish
a Reporter monthly, provided we be
furnished with matter, and that the Socle-
ty engages itself, for a certain period, TO
take such q number Of copies, TO be dis
lributcd among its members, as would
compensate us for defraying all the
necessary expenses attendant on the
publication OF the work. This sugges-
lion may be considered presumptuous;
but we hope not. Let only a trial be
made, and If it is not productive of good,
then we will receive the blame Of being
presumptuous in suggesting the idea.
We would offer a few more remarks on
this all-important question but refrain
from doing so, until we see how the hint
is taken, and what response we will
receive. So we are finished for this
time.
