Government weighs using surplus funds to aid cotton loans

Washington reports a developing shortage of certain U S cotton grades in markets and a slump in exports. Officials consider using federal surplus funds to pay premiums to farmer-borrowers to redeem loan cotton and sell it openly, plus bounties to exporters to price foreign cotton competitively. A Commerce Department tally shows 15,637,000 bales in consumption and storage on March 1, with 21,250,000 bales frozen under loans, leaving 4,247,000 bales for domestic use and export until the new crop in August. If reserves hold steady and consumption remains near average, export availability could vanish.

Vast Florida Fire Brings Its Own Rain

A massive Everglades fire near Fort Lauderdale, Florida, March 15, burned about 15 000 acres of peat and sawgrass. A smoke plume darkened the sky and delayed air traffic while a light rain of mud fell from heat driven condensation. Meteorologist Ernest Carson noted such fires can generate their own rain, worsened by a prolonged drought that lowered water levels making fires harder to fight. Two hundred men toiled with plows and drags but made little headway against one of Florida’s largest blazes.
