Cotton Forecast Prompts Push Toward Extra Session
The agriculture department forecasts 17,573,000 bales of cotton, second largest ever, triggering talk of a special congressional session between November 16 to pass extra crop control measures. Prices fell sharply from New Orleans to New York as traders digest the report. President Roosevelt and Secretary Wallace discussed moves to aid the cotton south, including tightening production controls next year and raising the government loan rate, with acreage limits to be cut under farm relief legislation. The new crop estimate exceeds prior forecasts by about 1.5 million bales and last year’s yield by over 5 million.
