Next Step in 1950 Cotton Acreage Squabble Up to Dept
Washington December 12. House farm leaders pushed the 1950 cotton acreage quarrel to the agriculture department for action. A House subcommittee, chaired by Cooley and Pace, urged reallocating unused allotments to county committees to ease cuts as high as 70 to 80 percent in some counties. They warned of a possible price support drop to 50 percent parity if farmers reject marketing quotas in the Thursday referendum, risking a broader economic downturn. The group also proposed a floor of 78 percent of the three year average or 50 percent of the highest year for any allotment, with Pace vowing to seek quick congressional action in January.
