claring that 20 cents a pound is a
satisfactory return for their cotton,
cotton growers of the Delta region
in Mississippi are exporting 100,001)
hales direct to German cotton mills
in Nuremberg and Augsburg.
Already 5,000 bales have left this
port on the steamer Maiden Greek
for Hamburg, and a similar cargo is
leaving this week for Bremen, from
where it will be taken in charge
by American representatives of the
cotton growers diverted to the var
ious mills in Germanv.
The cotton sent to Germany was
grown in Mississippi and exported
by the Mississippi Delta Exporting
and Trading company. The com
pany intends to place American re
ceiving agents in other European
ports.
The Delta cotton growers will not
receive money for their cotton from
the German spinners.
PAYMENT IN GOODS
Instead, they will receive two
thirds of the manufactured goods
turned out by the German mills.
These the American representative
of the exporting company will divert
to such markets as may be in posi
tion to pay good cash for the pro
ducts. These markets are to be in Po
land, Lithuania, the Mediterranean
countries, Lzecho - blovakia and
Jugo-Slavia, where the depreciation
in money has been in about the same
ratio as the depreciation of German
and Austrian money.
The amazing thing about the deal
is that Delta cotton growers find a
price of 20 cents a pound for their
cotton attractive enough to export it
at their own expense, when it has
been said that it cost not less than

Punch (London).
Your American may be knocked down but if he is a true American
he won t stay down. Cotton growers of Mississippi have shown themselves
to be true Americans and are leading the way for all American agricultural
ists. Cotton growers of the Delta region in Mississippi have organized and
are shipping cotton to German mills at 20 cents a pound. Not only that
they are taking their pay in German goods then co-operating with German
manufacturers in marketing the goods to needful central European nations.
The cotton growers receive two-thirds of the goods manufactured the Ger
man mills operating on the one-third margin. Other American cotton grow
ers in Southern states are following the Mississippi plan. Pictures show
loading boat at New Orleans with Mississippi cotton for export to Germany
and thousands of bales of cotton in the South which will be better sold at
20 cents than laying in the weather until it will be worth less than 5 cents
a pound.
