New Cotton Control Plan Backed by $250 Million
P C Wadsworth of Atlanta explains a scheme for control and marketing of the cotton crop to congressmen claiming backing of 250 million dollars in American and English capital. The plan aims to cut producer losses by eliminating middlemen and futures speculation through a holding company offering 15 cents per pound with direct delivery to spinners and a 1 cent per pound profit. He says under the current system farmers lose about 64 cents per bale due to undergrading and misleading price quotations.
