Twenty Cent Cotton Plan Backed by Georgia Union Warehouses
From Macon Georgia the state branch of the National Farmers Union proposes a plan to hold cotton at twenty cents per pound before Christmas. A $5 million fund raised within Georgia and $3.5 million cash deposited in banks will support consolidated union warehouses to loan farmers against their cotton, aiming to raise value for cotton sales while bearing interest costs borne by the borrowers. The scheme, if workable, could lift cotton prices and influence the entire cotton economy, though risks and interest charges remain. Public scrutiny will follow across cotton growing, manufacturing, and trading circles as Georgia planters weigh the venture.
