Cotton Bill Passes House Pushing Cotton Control Plan
Debate over the Bankhead-BulK-Jey cotton control bill advances in the House with a vote due tomorrow. The measure would cap cotton production at 10 million bales, empower agriculture officials to restrict next year, and allow a third-year proclamation to stabilize prices. Republicans led by Rep Hope criticize constitutional overreach and compulsory control, while supporters say it complements the voluntary farm program and prevents noncooperators from undermining cotton adjustment. The bill also imposes a 50 percent tax on the wage of cotton produced beyond quotas when moving interstate. Quotas derive from a multi year average production.
