Not despairing of ultimate success in my cho
ished object lho permanent estadlishment of an
Agricultural Journal for this section of the Union-,
I now propose to this community, which is em
piratically on agricultural ono, a plan for extending
the circulation, improving the style and incieasmg
the efficiency, of "Tho Soiith-Wogtcrn Kurmrr."
ThisJournal has now existed neaily three yenrs -merely
exerted; for it has not flotirisded. Like somo
illtended but hardy planr, which barely keeps aliye
during a long-ronliniied drculh, it has neither de
lighted the multitude with its vigorous growth, nor
cheered the owner with its profitable fruits A few
indulgent li iends, scattered sparsely over this and
the adjoining states, have charitably borne with its
many imperfections. For the first two years it was
published in book form, quarto size; but, unon en
tering the present volume, for many reasons which
seemed imperactivo to me at the tini", it assumed
It is the wish ol most ol us renders, f js 1 am riuw

mar it ugnin revuri in me dook roim. Accordingly
I propose, with tho co-operation of the public, to

will be divested of advertisements, and in pages ot
such convenient sizo as to be easily handled, filed

THE PROPOSED FORM.
The present form of tho Farmer is folio i. e it
consists of four paces, ench page mensming 19 by
13 inches. The form of tin first nnd second vol.
times was quarto i. e. of eight pages, each 1 1 by
8. The form of the fourth volume as 1 now pro
pose it, shall be octavo i. e. it will consist uf six
teen pages each measuring 9 by 5 incho-. I eon
template procuring, for the purpose of advertise
ments, a set of very small types, (nonpareil.) sufli.
eiently condensed toadmitnll the ndveitisements on
the two outer leaves, on lite four outer nncos which
outer sheet can be cut off in binding or filing thus
leaving the reading matter of 12 pages, to itself.
In this way, subscribers will get in one month 43
pages, exe'usive of advertisements, or in the year
more than 600.
SCALE OF TERMS
To induce some effort nniong the fiierds ol ngri
cultural Improvement, in obtaining subscribers, I an
nonnce the lollowirig scale of terms:

adopted lo .Mississippi, and of acclimating the moro
difficult genera.

prions1 discussing also the propriety of a geoloeic
al und agricultural survey of the suite by legislative
authority
6. Manufactories anil the Mechanic Arts, estab

the agricultural interest.
The pre I iuml to bo awarded bv a committee of
thirteen agricultural gentlemen, to wdiom I shall
commit all the essays for adjudication, by inch sub
divisions of labor among tlu-mselvcs as they may
agree uponthe unsuccessful essays to bo at the
disposal of the Ediiors of the Farmer.
In connection with tho foregoing, I .Intend to
submit an Address letting forth reasons why an
agricultural paper should be established in tho
South-Wesi; and I leave that duty, to be better per
formed by themany public-spirited gentlemen whom
this Prospectus may reach entreating nil who feel
Hie mnirnitunii ot tne cause, :o mount iheir horses
forthwith, and spend a day or two in endeavors to
form Clubs of subscribers. Theso clubs will be tho
nuclei for presently forming societies, establishing
agricultural libraries, holding neighborhood fairs
Stc. thus cementing the community togother, in
the eatecution of one common grand design.
This is certainly a fa vol able moment for gaining
the public attention, when tho excitement of politics
is about to subside for a season.
Tho planters of the slate sh, uld rnako it a com
mon cause, to demand of the Legislature a Goolog.
ical und Agricultural lurvry of t ie slate. I( ah,, 11
he one of the leading n ims of the "Farmer'' to
.uiicenuuie puoiic opinion on itns point, so as to
make it efficient upon our functionaries. Thogh
long delayed, I shall ever continue to hope for tho
accomplishment of this measure. If the agricultu
ralist of the slate would unite in demanding it, it
might bo effected by tho Legislature to be elected
in Novembor 1845. Say, fellow-cilizens, will you
aid us, in our endoavors to roach the public ear, on
a topic so important to tho welfare of our state?'
We arc so orrnngeing our business, as to admit
of our ridiog much through the country and wo
hope tospend at least a third of our timein visiting
our palroos, in different sections. We shall en
deavor also, ono or the other or both of the Edit
ors, lo bo present at all rhe Fairs or Catth Shows
held in this or the adjoining states.
In conclusion I would state that it is my intention
to devote myeslf moro directly to the interests o
the paper than heretofore; nnd I am assured by mv
coadjutor, lhat he will take time to visit farmers,
and will give much more of bis nttention to ihe
cause than his situation line heretofore nermiitart
