A Much Neglected Small Industry
The .
price of cotton being now
a very high price, when the! j
lias none to sell, with an
absolute certainty of its being at a
much lower price when the time
comes when lie will have some
that he will have to sell, brings to
the mind of all men interested in
the well fare of the wealth pro
ducer of this section, the farmer, }
some remedy or way of relief. j
Now, we are not making too much
cotton. The only fault lies in the
tact that the cotton producer has
to sell «t the wrong time. Reliet
will come and come only when he
not have to sell at all, but
sell when lie wants to.
By following and studying the
figures presented below, I believe
we can find the solution in “a
