A 1906 article by Clarence H. Poe, editor of The Progressive Farmer, on economic losses in Southern cotton farming. It covers the waste of cottonseed as fertilizer rather than feed, careless seed selection, spending on nitrogenous fertilizer when cow peas could supply nitrogen, and the damage done by the saw gin and by inefficient baling. It also notes improvements in marketing and argues that the South should manufacture more of its own cotton. It is a farm-economics piece with no weaving content.
