Georgia planter runs vast swath of land and tenants
A correspondent describes Col. Lee Jordan south west Georgia operations with over twenty thousand acres divided into eight plantations. He employs 300 workers plus 160 tenants, rents by fixed corn and cotton shares, pays wages with quarterly holds and feeds workers. The crop yields and practices, including no fertilizer use, are outlined with details on houses, overseers, and recent cotton sales.

Fertilizer, farming plans, and social notes in a Civil War era column
The piece describes a farmer relying on homemade fertilizer and the Dickson planting method with deep plowing and shallow cultivation, plus crop rotation and pea vine enrichment. It includes remarks on fencing costs, land practices, and Colonel Jordan’s views, then shifts to reflections on graves, piety, and a New York Hebrew Leader piece praising Freemasonry as a universal ethical order.
