The advantages attending the employment of capital in the improvement of land arc justly acknowledged ; capital thus employed is , at' the same time , the means of great social benefit , and productive to the investors of the highest rate consistent with perfect security . Opportunities , however , for employing , individually , the smaller amounts of capital in this channel are necessarily limited . This advantage the present association will supply . The obiect proposed is as follows , viz .: — The working of a plan for increasing with certainty the produee of the soil , and by such means to bring into cultivation and render profitable lands hitherto entirely unproductive . The value of the plan of sub-soil man-uragc , invented by Mr . Wilkins , has beten fully tested , and it is especially applicable to the poorest lands . By the carrying out of this system Nature's own increase may , in many cases , be rendered twofold , and the crops , in a great degree , guarded against loss from the uncertainties of season and of temperature , whilst large annual crops may be taken from land iiovr considered worthless . Results already obtained form a basis of the fullest confidence for the project now brought forward . The present company propose to carry out the plan , on an extended scale , for the growth ( chiefly ) - of flax and hemp . Mangold Wurzel , and potatoes , being crops specially suited to this cultivation , and of an assured demand . The former of these are crops of a very remunerative character , and of a great national importance . Farmers , however , are not induced to cultivate them , as they tend too much to impoverish the soil . Grown on the present principle , the soil is in no wise impoverished , and they fan be produced year after year on the same land with unfailing success . Mr . "Wilkins has even had two crops of flax in one year . For any quantity cultivated an immediate and certain market is open . The Mangold Wurzel on this principle is a perfectly superior root to the ordinary mangold . From it tinpatentee has produced an excellent "WINE , which can pe sold at the rate of Two Shillings per gallon , and leave a net profit of over thirty per cent . Also ( in mixture with flour ) a wholesome and nutritious Bread , at one third loss than the usual price . Neither of these important purposes can the ordinary mangold suffice . His weight of this crop has reached the unprecedented amount of sixty-nine tons per acre . Of the last mentioned ( potatoes ) little need be said . They would be produced in greater weight , with almost certain immunity from disease ; and ( by means of Mr . "Wilkins ' s patent process for extracting tho germs for planting ) of a large and uniform , size . Note . —This patent has been purchased , independently , by the directors , and is tho property of tho company . It is submitted that certain and assured returns of a very remunerative character may thus bo realised on the capital of the company . The operations of tho company will bo as follow , viz ,: lat . Tho purchase or leasing , at a low rato , of land adapted to their purpose ; 2 nd . Tho preparation of such land on their system of drainage , whereby it will be rendorod highly productive ; And 3 rd . Tho cultivation—or the rosalo at enhanced prices—of tho land thus prepared . Thus the advantage of a combination of capital and resources In such an enterprise is obvious ; and after making a careful allowance for all contingencies and expenses , it is estimated a not profit of twenty to twonty-flve per vent . may bo realised . < The directors have selected , and obtained tho offer on very advantageous terras , of a plot of 600 acres Qt land well ¦ ulted to this purpose , and which could bo laid down at the minimum price . On two-thirds of tho sharps bolng taken up , the contract will bo completed , and operations on tho first portion at once commenced . A . further adaptation of tho samo principles to tho construction of Vino Boxes and Flower Vases has also boon patented . These patents also are- vested in the company , and tho eminent success which has attended the manufnctiiro and trial of these articles affords further warrant for conudoucu in success on the larger Roalc . Tho Directors can stato that this branch of tho businens is already organised , and flrHt-olaaa agencies appointed in Tarious parts of the country ( Eupsland , Scotland , and Ireland ) . Every preliminary expense has boon paid , and considerable ardors , both for homo and export , nro obtained . Theao articles are . calculated to command a largo and very remunerative sale , and will roallso a handsome profit to tho * Ir tmr ^ vod ^ Moclel Cottngos will bo built upon tho comnany ' s property in connexion with allotmonta of land .
