An 1846 article from the Commercial Review arguing that Southern and South-Western cotton planters can relieve their financial distress by cutting expenses and growing their own food, forage and livestock, rather than depending on higher cotton prices, legislation or manufactories. It criticizes planters who overwork enslaved laborers and buy hay, corn, tools and cloth from outside the region. It concludes that reform has to begin on the individual plantation. It deals with agricultural economics and does not cover textile production or weaving techniques.
