Small Farms and Diversified Crops for Southern Prosperity
A dated 1881 letter argues for small, well prepared farms and diversified crops to boost southern farming after the Civil War. It contrasts self-sufficiency with overreliance on cotton and western food imports, urging intelligent farming, manuring, and limited land use to rebuild Georgia agriculture. The author notes personal success with small plots and calls for a national exposition to prove southern wealth and capability.
