Mississippi Bankers urged to back Cotton Marketing plan
Jackson Miss Oct 19. Clyde Hendrix president of the Alabama Bankers Association urges Mississippi bankers to back the Cotton Marketing Association by advising customers to sign up contracts. He says bankers can aid the movement and help farmers by supporting direct trading with spinners and exporters to cut out street buyers and speculators. The cooperative plan would reduce samples from two to one per bale and use that sample for farmer benefit, ending the city crop concept.
