The Bagging Trust and Pine Straw Substitution Debate
A historical discussion notes farmers suffered from jute bagging prices set by a bagging trust. Farmers explored pinestraw bagging as a substitute, with early success but facing pushback as trusts attempt to control supply. The piece urges prompt action to develop pine straw industry and warns of potential repeats in 1889. It cites Boston Commercial Bulletin and mentions railroad and Calcutta supply dynamics. It also includes an editorial contrast about Southern Americans and Northern perceptions.
