Bankhead urges 10.4 million bale cotton cap and 25 percent curtailment
Senator Bankhead pressed Secretary Wallace to set a 10 400 000 bale limit on the 1936 cotton crop in addition to the 3 percent reduction already prescribed. He noted that voluntary program farmers trimmed 38 000 000 acres by 36 percent while the 1935 curtailment was 25 percent with a 3 12 cent per pound payment based on past yields. He proposed allowing a further 10 percent withdrawal and stressed continuing strict controls as he works on legislation to replace the Bankhead law when it lapses at year end.
