culture In the Southern States. He said there
must be change in the agriculture OF these
States, whose population ana prosperity we're
diminishing in quantity and quality. the loss In
production from 1860 to 1870 had been enormous,
while the loss area Of cultivated land was over
1000 900 acres. He opposed the cutting up or land
into small farms as tending TO reduce all farming
10 the forty acre and mule system. The South
could save 500 600, 900 In feeding horses on eats
aud clover instead OF corn and fodder.
HIS speech was full or facts and practical sug-
gesions. and was listened 70 with great atten-
ton. Its publication was ordered In southern
agricultural Journals

gress 10 make greenbacks legal tender for all
