Our Own Fault.

During last year, 1920, when we raised more
cotton than have found market for, Georgians
paid Twenty-six million dollars freight and express
on Hay, Grain, Potatoes and Eggs shipped from 9TH
err states into Georgia
They also paid one else outside the state
IS much for these things, there is way
to get the exact figures this part.
Georgia raise Hay, Grain, Potatoes and Eggs
just easily as she raise cotton, and just S
long as this condition prevails, Georgian has any
right to complain about the price of cotton.
AL the schemes for reducing the cotton crop
and all the plans for marketing cotton viii not afford
the full relief the state needs long as we have to
pay any such sums for food and freight bills
1t is foolish for us to rail at the government or
at the cotton spectators, or any one else, while we
neglect to raise all our own feed and food for man
and beast.
