EDITORIAL NOTE, IN submitting this number of the AGRICULTURAL GAZETTE, which, in accordance with the directions of the Hon. SYDNEY SMITH, Minister for Agriculture, is the inaugural issue of the publication in what it is hoped will be found by those interested an improved form, I desire to solicit the co-operation of the Farmers, Fruit-growers, and Pastoralists of the Colony in furnishing information concerning new and successful methods of cultivation, treatment of diseases, weeds, &c. All such communications-which it is requested may be sent through the Head of the Department-will receive prompt attention, and anything of sufficient general interest will be published, with due acknowledgment, for the benefit of our readers.
