Soutarn Cultisatot, AGRICULTUIRAL EDUCATION. Much as book farming has been rid iculed and despised in times past, are much as it is held in contempt in parts o the South -eveu now, still the day is fas approaching when those who have thu acted will -rue their folly. Even, thoug we may incur the risk of being laughed a yet we take the liberty of saying that,.da: by day, the value of mere bones and mus cle, as. a mechanical agebt, is becoming less and less, and ere long mere bones. an. muscles will -become worthless as to an3 profitable use that shall be-guided by the light of this very book-learning so muc despised. One reason why the South isse far behind the other sectiohs of the Union-is because we have not long ago understood and appreciated this important truth abou the decreasing value of mere bone and muscle. In Ne w-York, For example,.al this was comprehended long ago, aud at a consequence, their Agricultural Institute is a regular college for teaching a .syster of Agriculture, suited to that soil ant cli mate. There, *the student learns all the faits'in Chemistry; Geology,.and Botany so far as they are immediately useful it Agriculture. He is taught how to prepare and drain soils, how to collect, storo away and preserve provender grain, fruit, &c., how to feed, and take careof, and improve stock; how to take care of orchards, vine yard., gardens, &c., how to prepare and apply manures to the beit advantage, and indeed- every thing that is necessary tc make a man accomplished in. both the practice and the science of Agriculture. Even in the adjoining State of Tennes see, they are ahead of us in this matter of Agricultural Education. On the first of January last, an Agriculturai College was opened in that State, with between forty and fifty students, and our latest informa tion about it is, that the number will be as large as can be accommodated. We have now before us a catalogue of thestudents, including young men from the States of Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Missou ri- and Kentuckyt not onefrom Georgia. In this connection we copy from the Globe newspaper, an article showing what the National Agricultural Society is doing and proposes to do, for Agricultural Educa. tion. Let the reader con it over carefully and very seriously and then ask-himsell if it be not his duty to bestir hi-iself and do something for Agricultural Educati6it in the South-io'Georgia especially-so that the light of science may be brought to the aid and direction of the bone and muscle of this section of the country, ere the advances made elsewhere shall make his efforts vain and profitless. How is this to be done? you ask. Very easily indeed The tillers of the ground are a part of the State so numerous and important that, without them, the State could not exist. They have only there fure, to have a proper notion of their im. portance, and to assert their rights as men ought, to demand that in our system of education, so far as it is supported by the State, due regard shall be paid to the in terests oft heir profession, and that the funds of the State shall not be epplied almost ex clusively as heretofore, to the preparation of young men for the study of the learned professions, so called-two of which al least, if not already, will soon be, at the present rate of increase, filled up by a star vation point. The planters pay by far the larger part or the public taxes, and they ought to see that these taxes are expended in like proportion for their benefit. In a wurd, they should demand that the system of education in the State University shall include a Professorship of Agricultural Chemistry and Geology-atnd demanding this-as their right, they should see that theit agents in the Legislature provide the mean! of sustaining such professorship. AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION. The National Agricultural Society has lately adopted a plan that promises valu able results in promoting improvemen among the farming community in aliquar ers of the Union, That plan is briefly sei forth in the annexed proceedings, and ha! te merit of involving little expense whilh largely stimulating attention to the greai purposes for which the National Societ) was founded. The procedings, as com municated to a late Agricultural Conven tion in the State of New York, and pub lished in the Albany Argus were as fol lows: Globe. "Southern Agricultural Sociey.-At a meeting of the members of the National Agricultural Society, at the City of Wash ngton, on the 10th of January. 1845, Mr Ellsworth. Commissioner of the Pateni Office, in the chair, and Mr. Callan, Sec retary,-enquiry turned upon-the mean! whereby the efl'orts of the friends of agri cultural improvement may be made more unitedI and etficient througbout the Unitec States. The matter which most particu lady arrested attention was the report ori the operations for -extending agricultura knowledge, through the instrumentality o; the common school organization of the State of New York.' The report on thiu subject is in pamphlet form, and emana ted from a committee of which the Hon John Greig, late member of Congress, i~ chairman,- and of which James S. Wads worth, of Western New York, late Presi dent of the State A aricultural Society, anc the Hon Daniel S. Dickinson, noW Sena tor from that State are among the mem bers. The report includes letters Irorr as from iky parts of that State, appro ving war the plan pursued by the committee. r promoting the introduction of agricultural hooks 'in the schools and libraries in4hat State. The value of this movement thay be estimated from the fact that there iare about twelve thousand school and :library districts, with superin tendents ofr hools in every town and country of iat great S tate. "Allusiotnwas made to the cheapness as .well as eficincy of this plan of action; in asmuch as it accomplishes its object by bringing the whole common school organ ization to sid the cause of agriculture and liorticulturev;nat the same time that the general interst of the school must be large ly benefittedby the -increased practical value iWparted to education through this connection jwith what is appropriately termed the staple business of sociely-the cdlture of the earth.' " After malure consideration, it was de termined thqt. the National Agricultural Sodiety approve and adopt the plan set forth by 1he New York State Agricultural Society, as asplan that is applicable where ever sthooli or colleges exist and which can.be prosecuted cheaply and efficiently, -especially in States where school organi gations are juaiiciously arranged. " With* thish'iew of promodaig the exten sion of -this$lan throughout the United States, addilional corresponding secreta ries were appointed as follows: T, S. Pleasants,- of Virginia; Henry O'Reily, of New York; Thomas Affleck of Mississippi; Oliver Comstock, of Michigan, A. G. Summer, of- Columbia S. C. and Henry Barnard of Connecticut. "It is recommended to the newly ap pointed seeilaries to correspond freely with each o er and particularly with the officers of .1e society at Washington, as well as .With* the friends of agricuitural education generally In all sections of the Union, so as to produce the greatest effi ciency by co-operation in the cause. "A resolution was adopted directing these proceedings to be published in the agricultural and other journals, and anoth er resolution :required that copies thereof be forwarded.to the several State Agricul ral Societies in the Union. J S. SKtNNER, Cor. Sec. "Post CLicd Department Jan, 18, 184.' [From'-1 Southern Ricorder.] We give b4low the plan of our corres pondent from Mississippi. on the subject of the reduction of the cotton crop. We likewise piraeii the-plan -with his own letter explanatory and- exhortatory, ad dressed to -outselves. The gentleman urges his plan with an earnestness and force that can gain nothing by any re marks we might be disposed to throw out upon the subject. We will merely ob serve en passant that if the plan could be made to work, that is, if 'he whole planting people of the South will act, and act sim ultaneously in accordance with it, the evil under which we now groan would of course be arrested, But prior to this ac tion, we-are inclined to think the'people mnst be induced to turn a part of their la bor at least to other profitable pursuits; this will itself diminish the amount of the overdone product, and perhaps this alone will do it. VALARUsIHA COUXTY, MISs., March 2d, 1845. Nessrs. Editors :-Enclosed I send you a plan for reducing the calton crop, and one which it seems to me is perfectly prac ticable. It only needs the mighty stimp lus of the whole Southern press to arouse the people to a sense of the importance of snch a measure, and I have no doubt if the press will take it in hand, the people can be brought to move in one solid pha lanx, for they are nowv crying, "What shall we do to be saved ?" It is a favora ble time tfor such an effort. The millions of surplus Bags of cotton staring us in the face. and the ruinously bad prices, are causes which must make the people move. I have selected your paper as the nucleus for the Ball-first, because you have ta ken a lively interest In the business for some mouths back; secondly, because you will soon have a State Convention of Farmers at Milledgeville, to confer on the all important subject. And if they chall think my plan practicable they can then take it up and act upon iraccoi-dingly. If your Convention would have, say one thousand coptes, printed for distribution, or any other plan that they might deem most effectual for warning the people of the several States, would it not be well ? I have had tbis matter under considera tion for some two or three mouths, but knowing it was too late to do any thing by it forthe crop of ?845, have withheld it till now, which afl'ords ample time for 1846-7. In the meantimne, I have shown it to, and conferred with many of our planters, and they all concur with me that it is eniirely practcable, end have urged me te go on wvith it, declaring that they would be the first to sign the pledge. Among some scores whom I have con sulted, and among thenm many very intel. ligent practical farmers, I have not found -a man who is not anxious that the effort should he made. Should you agree with us in opinion as to the practicability of the plan,, i know you will-use every means in your power to further the cause. 1t is the cause of the whole South. If Mississippi Cotton planters, who can grow from 6 to 10 bags cotton to the hand, are thus anxious for such measures, how much more important to the planters of the old States of Geor gia, Sooth Carolina, North Carolina, &c. If you think it hest you can withhold els, then every man becomes sacredly bound iink before his God and his country to'standby mgle his pledge-and every man will do it; 9s: two It is his highest interest ti do- it-and if ame there should-be any agricultural traitor on I be the list, he will easily be detectediis his east name is alphabetically spread on the re ent. cord of his Society. Any person having it if cotton farms and residing at a -distanc - uth rrom them, can he addressed by the Presi last dents of the Societies in the counties con and taining such farms, and their agents or. overseers can be instructed to subscribe for I themb .ast This is the simple plan for remedying 3 to the evils or too much cotton,'and too litle for monefs It is practicable. .
