Raw cotton in dress costs only 12 cents more
College Station Texas March 4 The fallacy in the argument that rising cotton prices moralize the cotton goods business is challenged by A M College figures. One pound of cotton yields seven yards of gingham and waste reduces cost. At 25 cents a pound the cotton in a yard of gingham is worth 42 cents. At 35 cents a pound the cotton in a yard of gingham is worth about 5.8 cents, yielding only 1.6 cents more per yard. With eight yards needed for a dress the farmer gains 12.8 cents per dress when cotton is 35 cents versus 25 cents. Consult your county agent for farm problems.
