Ini anl interview with a travelling

from a thorough canvass or sceen

meni so determinewd a the farmiers
are to hold their cotton for better ~

Tahlk about farmers net sticking,
why they havo simply stuck to their
traditional. principles of producing
the wealth of the world and allow
the non-producer to take it at his own
price longer. Yea, how much longer
