Cotton growers seek higher checkoff for promotion funds
The National Cotton Council backed a bill to raise grower checkoffs from 1 per bale or 1 percent of value toward higher funding for research and promotion. If prices stay around 50 cents a pound, the checkoff could reach about 2.50 per bale. The bill aims to shift funding to producers with government contributions currently at 3 million dollars. Denton Jr. of Denwood Arkansas, council president, said the measure would keep financing of programs in producers’ hands.

A Soviet trade official told a Great Plains Wheat seminar that the USSR and the United States have become productive equals in many fields and could trade far more if not for U S barriers. Nikolai Krouglov said the grain agreement, buying 6 to 8 million metric tons annually, benefits both nations and urges removal of trade obstacles. He criticized the 1974 Trade Act as a double tariff system restricting USSR exports.
