Claims Cotton Plan Has Cost Farmers Of South $300000000
Ross Bates of Goree Texas argues in a Star Telegram letter that the 1933 34 cotton control policy under the AAA and Bankhead programs reduced U S cotton production by about 9 96 million bales and cost the South roughly 300 million dollars at 1933 prices. He claims inflation raised prices so the loss grew to nearly 300 million after plow up payments and rents. Bates cites Henry Wallace Tom Connally and Hoover prices to argue the policy harmed farmers while foreign producers gained. He notes large carryovers and warns of another 25 percent cut in 1935.
