It was very hard to con vince the faniHT that 12 cents was not an extreme price for his pro duct. but through the efforts of a few Southern men, they fimlly rea lized the tact that they were saeii- ficing their eotton, and I believe that at least $50.00(1,Kill) more has been obtained for the eotton marketed to date than would have been if It had not been lor the efforts of this small coterie of Southern men.
