Crop report and bagging debate from Atlanta October 9 1888
In a detailed October 1888 bulletin from Atlanta the effects of early September storms on cotton and rice are recorded with regional injury patterns and price implications. The report notes cotton condition dropping from 85 to 75, corn down from 93 to 88, and sugar cane near average. It also discusses bagging costs and potential substitutes such as pine straw and saw palmetto, urging home production to reduce dependence on imports while highlighting market sources and prices.
