Subsidy Plan Sets Two Cents A Pound For Cotton Farmers
Washington reports the Agricultural Adjustment Administration limits subsidy payments to two cents per pound under the new loan and payment plan. The government proposes lending ten cents per pound for this year and guaranteeing a total return of twelve cents, a compromise with southern senators. Chester C. Davis explains adjustments will cap producer differences between the market price and twelve cents at two cents, with farmers possibly joining the loan awaiting price recovery if prices fall further.
