Cotton and stock farming unite in southern pride
A neighborly letter urges abandoning cotton as sole pride and promotes mixed stock farming and humane treatment of laborers. It argues cotton should be produced with colored workers, develops five regional stock farms, and envisions a southern economic revival with cheap meat dairy and vegetables, factory growth, and welcoming northern workers. The piece ties these aims to wartime memory and divine guidance.

Cotton-Seed Byproducts Forecast From Cotton Fields
A Chicago Times summary from a 1885 circular on the World's Industrial and Cotton Centennial Exposition notes that 7,000,000 bales of southern cotton last year clothed workers and produced 2,000 tons of cotton seed. Under proper handling, 105,000,000 gallons of cottonseed oil, 1,500,000 tons of oil cake, and 1,700,000 tons of hulls could yield 800,000 tons of paper pulp. The piece envisions South Carolina style use of waste cotton byproducts for coarse paper at home.
