men. oil millers, buyers and the like. It's cotton's
own program worked out by the industry itself.
M Dus time when we are working hard to
hung new industry to Ellis County, it is well to
ec/iiember the- importancc of the cotton indus-
try we already have.
Cotton is Ellis County’s top cash crop. Ix>ss of
cotton's markets is a blow not only to farmers
who produce it. Vuit<* ai> industrial family has
been built up in Ellis County on the basis of
cotton in* luding huge investments in gins, com-
presses. oil mills, and the like.
In short, failure of cotton to retain its com-
pote ive position would lie a serious blow to Ellis
County.

worse off than ever”
