County cottoners plan ways to use more cotton here
A Halifax meeting of the National Cotton Council focused on expanding cotton consumption rather than cutting production. Halifax officials set a $300 county quota, with $160 raised, to fund advertising for new cotton uses and research. Ginners and others will share a two cent per bale levy to support the effort amid record cotton surpluses and low prices.
