TO HOLD FOR II CENTS.
Rockdale Farmers Urged to Make
That Mi n : mum Price.
The following open letter urging
cotton farmers to hold their cotton
for a mihimuin price of 11 cents
per pound has been sent out ad¬
dressed to the members of the
.Southern Cotton Association, of
Rockdale county, and is as follows:
“ 1 he association met at Ashe¬
ville, N, C., and fixed the nmn
mum P’fce of cotton for the crop
of If>05 at 11 cents per pound.
This is conservative and the far
tilers call and should realize this
pnee and above for every pound of
cotton grown in (he county of
Rockdale.
4 i 1. Cotton will bring 12^ certs
and above rn the streets in Con
yers before another crop is made.
“2. This will be $10 to $12 a
hale mot'e than it is now bringing.
“0. This would make the 7,000
bales raised in Rockdale county
this year briug to the people of
Rockdale at least $84,000 more
than if sold at the present prices.
“4. The price of cotton seed
was fixed by the state association
at 80 cents per bushel. They are
woatli that.
“Now, we urge every man in
Rockda’ county not to sdl anoth¬
er bale o. cotton below 11 cents per
pound, nor another bushel of cot¬
ton seed below 30 cents per bushel.
It is to the financial interest of
every man, woman and child in
Rockdale county to assist in carry¬
ing out these pledges. In unity
there is strength. Let us all pull
together, and this movement will
be a success even beyond our ex¬
pectations.
“It is not only possible, but
highly probable, that we will see
cotton sellingat 15cents per pound
before the first day of February.
This is as it should be. There is
a great difference between $75 a
bale and $50 a bale. Wo use but
a small part of this product, and
let. the balance i f the world who
use most of it pay the grower some
part of the profit.
“This association has already
been worill millions of dollars to
the soth, and if mo3t or all the far¬
mers will join and stand to their
pledges, we will realize blessings
that the most sanguine has not
heretofore dreamed of. Respt.
