Cotton Contract Bill Awaiting Governor's Signature
Representative E. L. Short reports a cotton contracting bill passed both Houses and awaits Governor Dolph Briscoe's signature. The measure requires advance cotton contracts to be registered with the Commissioner of Agriculture and imposes penalties for nonregistration. No bonding or insurance is included. The law aims to protect farmers by informing farm organizations and lenders of forward contractors before the harvest.
