Everyone will recall that the large crop of 1926 resulted in a price of 11.9 per pound average for middling. The average for February, 1929, was 10.08 cents while for February, 1930, up to the present is about 16 cents per pound. , “These facts together with the told directors pf the American Cotton Co-operative association here today. “Cotton acreage is on the red side of the ledger," he said, “and there must be an immediate reduction of 6i)00,000 acres.
