Slump in Cotton Prices Hits Southern Farmers Hard
The Clarion Ledger notes cotton prices fell sharply, leaving holders $5 per bale poorer in two days and about $17 per bale lower since opening. The South faces a potential $100,000,000 loss this season, with a likely twelve million bale crop yielding far less than last year’s $600,000,000, though much of the crop has already been sold around 9 cents per pound. Farmers hold out for a rebound, hoping prices recover without forcing rapid sales.

An excerpt recalls a fishing scene where a father guides his son to handle a line and lure. The dialogue shows careful, patient instruction as the boy learns to coax a fish toward the bank while the ex-president watches with a warm, instructive gaze.
