A New Plan to Control Cotton Prices in the Belt
A scheme drafted in Columbia aims to form county trust companies with capital of 20 000 to 30 000 dollars. Each will take one third of local cotton as subscription and hold it in trust for a year to push prices up. If adopted nationwide, about six and a half million bales could be withdrawn, lifting prices to about ten cents per pound.
