Cotton convention stalemated in New Orleans
Delegates to the Southern Cotton convention adjourned after a day of debate on 1915 acreage reductions. A Texas backed plan for a 50 percent voluntary cut failed, while Louisiana and other delegates pressed for compromise. A warehouse system and the “tady-base” movement received support, as farmers faced uncertain conditions due to the war and poor prospects for cotton next year.
