Cotton Situation Urged for Federal Inquiry by Association
Columbia, Sept. 1. J. Skollowe Wannamaker, president of the American Cotton Association, said requests from across the country prompted a call for Congress to authorize a Department of Agriculture investigation into acreage abandonment for the current crop. He argued the abandonment is the largest on record and urged publication of exact figures, plus a Federal Trade Commission probe into spinnable cotton and ownership. Reports from the South Carolina Cotton Association headquarters also note strong membership campaign progress statewide.
