Senator Ransdell urges 25 cent cotton price in Senate debate
Senator Ransdell of Louisiana urged the South to hold cotton for a fair price not below 26 cents a pound. He cited embargo effects and said current prices are unwarranted, urging cooperation among growers, merchants, and bankers to prevent losses and back a 25 cent floor. He advised farmers to store at home, ship slowly, and resist selling unless a satisfactory price is offered. Merchants should aid by delaying debt payments and helping producers borrow up to 75 percent of estimated cotton value at 25 cents per pound.
