money out of their farming operations
in 1919, more profit than, most of them

price of cotton and, of course, the high
price helped, but the real down-at-the-bottom
reason was that most farmers
owned their cotton when it was made
instead of 'owing' it for food and
grain bought on credit, as used to be
the case when the practice was to
grow all or nearly all cotton and buy
on credit all or nearly all food, grain,
