A 1906 magazine article arguing that the American South's near-monopoly on world cotton supply is not seriously threatened by British, Indian, African or Chinese attempts to develop cotton growing. It cites historical efforts during the 1850s and the Civil War era, quoting the London Economist, the Encyclopedia Britannica, the Indian Cotton Commissioner and Edward Atkinson, and notes that these efforts largely failed. It closes by considering whether Southern production can meet rising world demand, citing acreage, yields and bale statistics.
