Cotton Conference Pushes Hold on Staple to Market

He warned farmers face a dangerously low financial status as the 1926-27 crop value falls about $540 million short of last year. He proposed pooling through farm bureaus and cooperative bodies with 65 percent advances, plus enforced acreage reductions totaling at least 11 million acres in cotton states.
