Cotton Prices Rise As Farmers See Short Crop Benefit
The Atlanta Constitution notes 90 percent of cotton sold in the United States at about 8 cents per pound, driven by a short crop. It argues for cultivating diversified crops to sustain prices and household food supplies, praising farmers who manage costs and keep debt low while recounting rural life anecdotes and family memories. It references General Grant and Lee era surrender details in a companion historical piece.
