In .connection with tne discussion
ol the Uamuiead but it is interesting
to note tout Georgia hau a simnai
law passeu during tne \>ur L»eiween
tne Hta.es. A Uispa.cn iront Atnens,
Ua., says:
controlling cotton production is
iar from new in Georgia—tnis state
nad it by law in i362.
A search into old Histories of the
state snowed that even before the
law was passeu a voluntary program
had reduced the state’s crop irom
V<7?,(RJ0 bales m 1861, the first year
of the War Between the States, to
60,UJ0 bales in 1862.
Appeals to patriotism in Georgia
and' other states brought about the
reduction In cotton, which was prac
tically the south’s only money crop.
Southerners were told, Dr E. M.
Coulter, professor of history at the
University of Georgia, said, that they
must raise just enough cottor. for the
section’s use and devote the rest of
their acres to growing food for the
Confederate armies. Large cotion
crops, too, would be inducements to
federal soldiers to raid the section.
Cotton reduction was necessary,
Dr. Coulter said, for the wholly
agrarian south raised little else when
the war tegur,. Much of its food and
feedstuff was imported front other
sections and unless the south began
raising its own food it would be
starved into submission.
“Dethrone King Cotton! Enthrone
King Corn!” were the headlines in
newspapers and magazines of that
time.
The appeals were so influential that
the south’s production of cotton
dropped from 4,500,000 bales in 1861
to 299,000 bates in 1864, the last har
vest year of the war.
Georgia’s law, passed mainly to be
sure no one grew too much, provided
that three acres of cotton might be
planted for each hand owned or em
ployed between the ages of 15 and
55. Smaller amounts could be grown
by hands above and below those ages
The general assembly enacted the
measure into law Dec. 11, 1862.
The penalty was a fine of $500 for
each acre planted above the quota—
and the assembly made sure viola
tions would be reported by giving
half the fine to the informer or
prosecutor.
