Marketing Pool Cotton
Cotton held in the producer’s pool
which may now be sold at the discre
tion of the pool manager witn the ap
proval of the Secretary of Agriculture,
will be marketed in an orderly man
net which will avoid competition with
normal channels of trade, according
to an announcement which comes
from the Agricultural Adjustment
Administration through Geo. T. Oak
ley. county farm agent.
Under the provisions of the cotton
producers’ pool agreement, the ap
proximately 1,950,000 bales held bv
the pool could not be sold prior to
July 31 at less than 15 cents on a
pound basis for middling 7 8 inch. The
price of cotton has not reached this
figure since the pool was formed and
no sales of actual cotton have been
made.
Oscar Johnston, manager of the
cotton pool, points out the fact that
the cotton pool futures have been li
quidated without disturbing the mar
ket and assures the same procedure
in the liquidation of the actual coton.
This pool of cotton will be market
ed in an orderly fashion in accordance
with tound business judgment and
■with a view to avoiding competition
with normal trade channels. M e
have no intention of dumping or sac
rificing this cotton. Our fixed pur
pose is to liquidate the pool account
as early as practicable in a manner
which is consistent with good business
principles. When and if any of this
cotton is offered for sale, the public
will be advised and the trade given
an opportunity to purchase.
