By a good price is meant a price that will at least pay
moral justification for the demand of the Southern planter
Tor a remunerative price for his cotton, there are excellent
business reasons why cotton should be worth 30c a pound
or more. One year before the world war G91Sl4 crop)
the world produced a little more than $4,000, 900 bales of
production the United States raised Il, S82. 900. Previous
TO that time large crops had been produced. including the
one OF $1,000, 600 bales OF American cotton IN 1911, Since
l9l4-l5 the South has produced two 10000, 900 bale crops
Il TWO ! l'OOO, O0O-bale crops, way under the average pro-
uuctoh or the previous years. This shortage averaged
something like 5000, 900 bales each year for four years.
VI course, the Central European countries were not get

holders of spot cotton in the South will get their
price for cotton if they make up their minds to get

calls for a price on cotton that at least will not
