The article argues for using cotton bagging instead of hemp to retain value within Georgia. It cites 1839 Georgia cotton at 163,000,000 pounds yielding 407,500 bags and discusses yardage at 20 cents per yard, estimating $407,500 saved locally. It claims reduced demand for hemp would cut out $300,000 from the state and notes additional uses like rope and twine. It also includes notes on corn yields and agricultural practices from 1842, including Slingluff’s methods and crop weights, plus remedies for fowl worms and horses’ turpentine cures.
