Cotton and crop economics in 1909 world output
The 1909 world cotton production reached about 8.27 billion pounds valued near 1 billion dollars. The United States supplied 69.6 percent of commercial cotton, with British India 21.8 percent, Egypt 5.6 percent, and Russia 4.3 percent. Gold production that year totaled 460 million dollars, roughly half the value of the U.S. cotton crop, while 57.53 million was spent on building in 106 U.S. cities, only 45.5 million more than cotton’s value for a given period. The boll weevil’s impact varied by region, with major spread in southeastern Mississippi and minimal in the Yazoo river valley and Oklahoma.
