Sid down and has had trouble in attaining IS cents. the
value which planters have hoped would be the minimum and
give them a chance to pick a profitable crop.
In 1904, slim acreage caused cotton to sell at $lS9. an
abnormal price ON account OF the war between the states
In 1880, tho first year that Oklahoma had any cotton to
sell, the price was ~ cents as the maximum. Indian ter
rtory had, prior to that time, sold a good deal OF cotton
but the territory OF Oklahoma was lust starting to raise
a crop which now has become our greatest one.
