Cotton Industry Plans Postwar Competition Strategy
The National Cotton Council reports 15,010,000 Americans aided war efforts last year with 70 percent of fabric and seed output prioritized for military use. Plan includes a two million dollar fighting fund, funded equally by farmers and industry, to protect postwar markets amid synthetic fibers, foreign cotton, and paper competition. Oscar Johnston notes spinners and weavers endured shortages and price controls to avoid steeper declines. Industry-wide campaign seeks 20 cents per bale via gins and processors with farmer gains through local gins.
