I While any estimate of the total investment in enterprises growing and processing cotton and seed and manufacturing lint into textiles is subject to a wide margin of error, about $22 billion would be a conservative figure. Agriculture and the enterprises it support comprise the nations largest industry. Cotton is the most important cash crop.

During the five years from 1953 through 1957, for example, cotton and cottonseed products provided 18 8 per cent of the total cash receipts from marketings of all crops. Cotton is grown on some farms from the southern tip of Virginia to the valleys of California. In round figures, the industry includes 6,300 gins, 1,500 raw cotton merchandising firms, 1,250 cotton warehouses and compresses, 280 cotton oil mills, and 1,000 cotton textile mills. An estimated 12 million people depend on cotton for their livelihood. They derive income from cotton growing, ginning, warehousing, merchandis i cotton oil mills, spinning and weaving, or apparel manufacture.

Cotton helps provide a living for millions more engaged in wholesaling and retailing cotton products, or in banking, transportation, machinery manufacture, and many other enterprises dealing with cotton to an important extent. Probably 13 million people besides those actually engaged in cotton industry operations thus are dependent in some way on cotton.
