Cotton meeting at capitol today in Atlanta
Georgia farmers bankers and business men gathered in Atlanta for a conference at the state capitol to discuss cotton policy amid war disruptions. John D. Walker of Sparta leads the meeting, aiming to urge farmers to hold cotton and seek higher prices rather than selling at ruinous rates. The discussion highlights potential state benefits of a 12 cent cotton price, arguing significant savings and increased state wealth if farmers hold instead of selling at eight to nine cents.
