Administration Officials Refuse Support on Cotton Acreage Amendment
Werdel and Rep Pace met with the House cotton subcommittee and Department of Agriculture officials to push near term relief for planned 1950 cuts. They urged Congress to consider in January an amendment to the 1949 acreage act ensuring no cotton allotment falls below 70 percent of the average planted in 1947 1948 or 50 percent of the top year among 1947 1948 or 1949. The plan also asks farmers not planting allotted acreage to relinquish it to the local PMA committee for reallocation to other farmers.
