State Marketing Man Urges Selling Cotton Gradually
A. Kinard of the Texas State Department of Agriculture warns farmers not to flood the market as prices edge toward 45 cents. He notes U.S. production around 15 million bales against 18.5 million demand, and recalls 1919 speculative efforts to depress spots. Kinard urges slow selling and highlights the Bureau of Markets aiding producers and consumers at no cost. He also cites maize prices and urges setting aside two years’ supply to avoid later higher costs.
