Bankhead Plan Aims Tax on Cotton Above Ten Million Bales
Senator Bankhead discusses a rental policy that may not trim the cotton crop in direct proportion. Farmers push fertilizer use to grow more cotton on less ground, hoping higher prices will trigger profits. The Bankheads push a bill to tax cotton above 10 million bales, with the president’s backing likely to pass. The method will then assign each farmer a quota, a complex rollout expected to follow.
