Self-Sustaining Farms and Household Improvements
An 1876 editorial urges Southern farmers in Quitsauxci Ga to end dependence on merchants, diversify crops beyond cotton and corn, cut costs, and become self-sustaining. It calls for reducing high priced guanos, economizing, and using own resources while improving homes and community lives. It notes the broader shift away from the “wild cat” farming system and references a Supreme Court home stead decision.
