Cotton misgrading sparks House inquiry in Texas
The cotton subcommittee of the House Agriculture Committee vowed continued probes into farmers' charges that government cotton classers downgrade samples. Witnesses cited inconsistencies in the Smith Doxey office in Dallas and disputed loan differentials between light and heavy spot cotton, claiming losses up to tens of dollars per bale and an overall drop in 1956 prices. The panel, led by Rep. E C Gathings, warned of possible legislation next session.
