House Group Drafts Cotton Bill For New Program
After weeks of hearings the House Agriculture Committee must draft a bill to establish a new cotton program. Chairman Harold D. Cooley expects an acceptable measure amid diverging views from producers ginners handlers and textile mills. The proposal would keep a one price system while allowing direct subsidies and cut the acreage allotment from 16 to 14 million acres. Without new law the current program expires next year and a return to the old two price system could force mills to buy at the government price rather than world price.
