Among the Farmers at LaGrange Georgia State Fair
The Georgia State Agricultural Society meeting at LaGrange drew large, harmonious attendance. Col A M Walker spoke on Practical Dairy Farming in Georgia while Gov. Gordon avoided the sub treasury issue. LaGrange showcases old and new wealth with colleges, terraces, and a thriving cotton industry. Mr Geo W Truitt demonstrates farming success with eighty one acres yielding expectation of one hundred bales, attracting delegates. Bonded debt in 1890 stands at 104,800,372 with floating debt 43,596,218, total 23,300,600, down 55,020,931, and Blaine’s railway plan gains momentum.
