Cotton Men Appeal for Higher Prices
Cotton men from the delta and across the region voiced support for government stockpiling and higher prices at a Senate subcommittee hearing in Memphis. Dr M K Horne Jr of the National Cotton Council warned a 2,000,000 bale carryover may not cover military needs while H L Wingate of Macon urged price relief now, noting growers were told they would get at least 40 cents a pound. The session followed protests over export bans that depressed prices after the Korean conflict began, with a crop estimate of about 17,300,000 bales discussed and a report to be prepared for future military needs.
