An 1881 Texas farmer column warns readers about debt and reliance on cotton. It urges selling land, renting, rotating crops, and self sufficiency to avoid poverty as prices and labor strain persist. The piece cites past postwar hardship and warns against overextension.
A historical note discusses using guano in cotton planting furrows with deep placement to improve yields and reduce fertilizer waste. It cautions about proper furrow depth and long, wide hoes for seed and guano, claiming substantial savings and no harm to cotton. The piece also mourns Dr. Alexander I. Hamilton, longtime educator and reformer, praising his devotion to female education and community service. It ends with brief notices of a Lexington mare death, railroad commission applicants, Stone Mountain distillery output, U.S. mineral yield, Norfolk death rate, a successful Gumpkin supper, and Russia’s Alexander II assassination.
