Ten Southern States Back Credit Extension Plan for Cotton

Southern bankers approve loan extensions for 3.5 million bales and back the American Farm Board and Cotton Association policy. Alabama bankers pledge over a third of the state quota of 350,000 bales.

Banks Back Plan to Hold Cotton and Reduce Acreage
Alabama bankers voted to pledge credit to hold 350000 bales of cotton in the state until July 31 1932 and push to cut 1932 acreage. The plan, from the New Orleans cotton conference, aims to withhold one fourth of the crop and engage the American Cotton Cooperative Association and the Federal Farm Board to manage supplies. If spring reports show decisive acreage cuts, the Farm Board may extend holdings beyond the current term.
