The Cost Of Cotton Production
o.. J. IIeading. in Atal,ia Const.lntlon)

Much has been said about the cost
of producing a pound of cotton. 1t is
claimed that the present market price
say. from 6 to { cents per pounds
beow the cost of production, meaning,
presumably that the average cost. TAX
ing the country over, is somewhere
about the present market price. Some
claim the price is below the cost mark.
] do not propose to take issue with the
general opposition in the sense that n
have just supposed. 1t is quite probable
that for some years past the average
cost of producing the entire cotton
crops of the South has been around 6
cents. No one can say with certainty.
or prove the assertion. that the cost
has been any particular number of
cents. But the general idea seems to
be that when the crop as Il whole
brings an average of no more than 8
cents n pound, that on the whole no
money is made. But it would not be at
all safe to conclude that 6 cents meas
ures the cost of every mans cotton
crop | have no doubt whatever that
there are thousands and millions of
GALES annually grown at cost of 4. 8.
and 10 cents pound. There are
thousands of farmers who find no
profit in growing cotton unless they
shall succeed in getting 10 cents pei
pound for it.
On the other hand. there are thou
sands of farmers will not say how
many-who make some money on
their cotton even when sod at pres
ent prices. ] was talking with one of
these only few days ago. He inform

and fodder. a full supply of bacon and
lard. and more wheat than his family
could consume. AS ii is sometimes eX-
pressed. he 'lived at home and board

stance was: "Well | make eight or ten

prices on my last years crop. | made
nearly one bale to the acre"
Some talk as il there was more or
less fixed and Interchangeable figure |
which represents the cost of growing |
cotton. This is certainly a mistake. |
The truth is the cost is about as varia- |
bic. vibrating between the wide ex
tremes. even in a given year. as the |
cost of producing anything that is or
may be produced The extremes be-
tween the lowest cost and the highest I
are far wider apart than the ex-
trenres between the highest and low
est market prices. 1t varies. in crop
lots. all the way from A or cents a
pound to ID or 20 cents.
Some insist that cotton has a definite
''intrinsiC'' value. forgetting that in
trinsic value can not be stated in terms

thing means simply its value in use, or
The mere fact that the thing spoken OIL

that a. polo team would come up from
