Bill to Limit Cotton Crop Believed Lost
An effort to cap the share of land that may be planted in cotton failed in the Texas House by a 71 to 39 vote. Sponsored by J. E. McDonald and 39 others, the plan would have created a farm commission to set the percentage, with critics calling it socialistic and supporters citing crop rotation against root rot. The session also advanced a senate bill to place building and loan companies under the state banking department and moved toward a prison location agreement via a conference committee. A hearing on charges against State Land Commissioner J. T. Robison resumed later.
