The Daily Dispatch: April 18, 1863., [Electronic resource], From Suffolk. (search)
show that the supposed surplus of corn — say 10,000,000 bushels — was fallacious. The estimated crop of 15,000,000 bushels, on the supposed bales of 14 bushels to the acre, was not verified by the facts in 1862, as it was notorious that in the Cherokee region the yield was very short from a diminished breadth of land planted, owing to the absence of labor in the army, and to the excessive drought of last summer. In 1849 when in the upper counties it was common for 30,40, and 50 bushels to be produced to the acre, the average for the State was only 16 bushels, while in 1863, in many parts of the Cherokee region, the production was only 10 and 15 bushels — Even in Southwestern Georgia the average was not over 10 bushels, as the experience of planters will testify. From these promises he said that it was evident that no such surplus is on hand for the use of the army, and for the people of the mountains where the scarcity is most alarming.
