This chart illustrates the wide Tariation in cost of producing cotton for the dif- 

 ferent farms. In 1013 19 per cent of the farms produced at less than 10 cents 

 per pound, 66 per cent at from 10 to ].5 cents, and 15 per cent at over 15 cents. In 

 1918 26 per cent of the farms produced at less than 20 cents per pound, 55 per cent 

 at from 20 to -32 cents and 19 per cent at over 32 cents. The size of business and 

 yield of cotton per acre largely affected such ranges in cost.
