Overview

Excerpt from Cotton: Its Cultivations, Marketing, Manufacture, and the Problems of the Cotton World Nor is there any plant with a history more mar velous or more romantic - more suggestive of the legend and mythology of its Oriental home where it first began to serve mankind. If Frank Norris had lived in the South instead of California, what an Epic of the Cotton he might have given us what a story of Cotton, responding only to the warmth of a Southern sun, and yielding a richer fleece than ever Jason dreamed of Cotton, whose influence did most to bring us an alien race from Africa, and then did most to perpetuate in Ameri ca the institution of human slavery; Cotton, on which a Dixie Land, the Land of Cotton, once built its hopes while it waged one of the greatest wars of modern times; Cotton, which helped the vanquished people to their feet again, and now bids fair to restore them to a proud position in wealth and industry!
