Study Group Urges Bold Cotton Program in Congress
The Alabama Legislative Cotton Study Committee urges Congress to adopt a bold four point program to rescue the cotton industry. It calls for farming by growers, guaranteed share of income, world market price competitiveness, and a research program to create new uses, eradicate boll weevil, and improve quality.
