What was the purpose of the Buy a bale of cotton movement in GA during World War 1?

The outbreak of war in Europe in 1914 prevented southern cotton growers from exporting their crop to European cotton mills. The "buy a bale of cotton" movement aimed to help growers by providing demand for their cotton. The campaign targeted people of comfortable means and urged them to buy a bale. With cotton selling at ten cents per pound, a 500-lb bale cost $50. The argument was that the cotton could then be warehoused until the next season, when the price of cotton would certainly have risen, and the buyer could sell his purchase for a ten to twenty percent profit. President Woodrow Wilson set an example by buying several bales in September 1914.

In Australia during the early 1960's, a sixpence could by a kid enough lollies to share with his little sister, that neither of them would eat their dinner that night and get a belting from mum or dad.

What is the value of a 1914 British Sixpence?

A British 1914 sterling silver Sixpence (KG V), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £40 GBP. If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch up to £2 to £15 GBP. The values quoted are the best possible for the best specimens in their grades, but may be significantly lower due to varying demand for the coin and the prevailing economic climate. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation based on inspection of the coin.
