Misuse of Cotton Marketing Cards Draws Penalty Warning
State Agricultural Conservation Committee warns cotton growers that using a white card to help another sell excess cotton can forfeit both parties’ conservation and price adjustment payments under the 1939 program. County Agent Ted Johnston echoes the ruling clarifying penalties for card holders and violators. In Reeves County, Texas, a separate civil action in 109th District Court seeks title to 80 acres in a trespass to try title suit against Texas Cement Plaster & Supply Company and others, with publication of citations required.
