Excerpt from Report on Jute Culture: And the Importance of the Industry
Heretofore the agriculture of the South has been restricted to the pro duction of a very few staples. This narrow limitation of southern industry is an essentially false policy. The South has made the grave mistake of confining its activities almost exclusively to one pursuit. But no country can realize its highest possibilities of material greatness by following a single employment. The urgent need of the South to day is a wide range of industries. It ought to superadd manufactures to a larger variety of agricultural productions. Then the competition of the different occupations would impart activity to business, give more employment to labor, create better local markets, raise the price of a gri cultural and manufactured products, increasing the profits of workmen.
