Cotton subsidy details set for 1935 crop payments
Lichte explains that cotton producers who signed or did not sign a contract may claim the subsidy. The payment equals the difference between the 10 market average on sale date and 12 cents, middling 7/8, with a maximum of 2 cents. Total sales subject to subsidy equal the Bankhead allotment. Checks expected December 15 1935 and March 15 or August 15 1936 after county checks and audits at College Station. A Texas disbursing section is proposed to speed delivery.
