House Backs Cotton Subsidy Plan With 5 to 9 Cent Aid
The House endorsed a continuation of one price cotton supports and a plan to pay producers 5 to 9 cents a pound. The proposal would let some producers ignore planting and marketing limits to take price supports. Edenier argued curbing production would reduce a surplus of about 15 million bales, while retaining controls for all producers. Small growers under 10 acres would gain about 25 percent above the price support level, and those cutting cotton plantings by 35 percent would also receive a 25 percent bump. Ellender allies included Holland Eastland Boss Bass Mantoya Young Cooper Miller.
