Cotton Culture And The South Considered With Reference To Emigration PDF Download

Excerpt from Cotton Culture and the South Considered With Reference to Emigration We lately issued a circular which was widely distributed amongst the cotton-planters of the South, with the hope of getting, facts relating to the cotton-interest which might be of value to the cotton consumer, and at the same time might stimulate the production of the great staple by "showing to how slight an extent the capacities of the South for its production have as yet been developed," thus furnishing information which should do something to turn Emigration and Capital to the cotton belt of our country. Our Circular asked for detailed facts and opinions relative to the labor, the methods of cotton culture, and the general condition and capacities of the South. The number, the universal interest, and the consistent character of the replies have been most gratifying, and show an earnest intention on the part of the writers to give accurate information which should help to build up a true prosperity in their portion of the Union. We wish to return to all our correspondents, without exception, our hearty thanks for the fulness and uniform courtesy of their answers.
