States of Prosperity Through Scientific Farming

He spoke of southern prosperity, praised scientific farming in cotton and sugar, noted doubled sugar cane per acre, and argued for trained engineers to design levies for better bottomland use. He also highlighted his wartime schoolmate ex-postmaster Josh Earnest and his Sullivan county acquaintances.
