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.
