"Whereas, cotton Is the great money
crop of the South and the price has
Second, That 10 cents is the mini
mum price at which cotton can be pro
duced nnd that this be our selling price/
Third, That we ask the co-operation
of the banks and merchants in this
effort to save millions of dollars to
their patrons, the farmers, the produc
ers, the tillers of the soil.
Fourth, That we earnestly recom
mend that the cotton acreage for 1905

destructive, not only to agriculture but
every branch of commerce In Georgia
and the South, and believing the time
has arrived when the farmers must
either arise In combined action, face
these despoilers with decision and de
termination, declaring we are factors
in pricing the product of our labor or
renounce our capacity, ability and
manhood. And believing it Is better
for the South to lose her monopoly on

largely reduced.
