OUR NOTE SHEETS.

1t is q duty that every man owes to his
country to impart such knowledge to his
fellow laborers as will cause them to
achieve a greater degree of success in their
labOrs and which will consequently mate
rally assist in the development of the
country. This development will in time
rebound to the interest and prosperity of
every citizen of the State.
For the purpose OF giving those who
have had experience in Florida agricult
ure, horticulture, ETC., an opportunity to
impart knowledge to others who are less
fortunate, we established the Note Sheet
Communication Department, believing it
would be the best possible channel
through which much valuable informa-
ton could and would be given by the ex-
perienced to the inexperienced, by the
old settler to the newcomer. Nor were we
disappointed, for our Note Sheet Depart
ment has been a great assistance to many
and letters Of cOmmendatiOnh have poured
in upon us from every quarter from par
tics who have derived much benefit from
the monthly perusal of our "NOte Sheets"
For this reason we would urge upon our
people the necessity and Importance of
Keeping up TIC HOOu AOCOotS nO(II-
ing in the way of money, and but little as
to time, to write something On a sheet of
note paper, which may appear insignif-
can't to you, but which may be OF vast
Importance to some fellow laborer.
Our next batch of Note Sheets will be
published October 9Th, and we hope all of
the old contributors, and many new ones.
will send in their Note Sheets in time for
+ hot
For the benefit of those who are unac-
quainted with the conditions, ETC., OF the
scheme, we will state it again:
We give prize of $3 for the best COM
municatiOn written on one side of one
sheet of note paper. For the second best
ST., and for the third best an elegant AG-
RICULTURIsT binder.

to the editor Of the AGRNULURlsT and
