The article argues that standard accounting methods cannot reliably estimate cotton costs due to variable factors and poor records. It asserts that actual farm wages and living conditions over a decade provide the true average cost, noting wage levels, land values, and rent as major cost items and calling for higher farm wages to keep workers in the South.
