Wingate has announced that it will fight for a minimum sup- p:rt price of 45 cents per pound for cotton produced in 1952. In a resolution adopted by the Convention last week Georgia farmers let it be known that to attempt to do otherwise would be to face economic sui¬ cide. The resolution was adopt¬ ed following the chaos that came to this year’s cotton farmer upon the refusal of Se¬ cretary Brannan to raise the support price to 40 cents per pound and his refusal to stock¬ pile for national emergency. These attending the Conven¬ tion heard former Congressman Steve Pace tell them “Let Mr. Brannan know what you want. Stay with him day by day, un¬ til he promises you a support price of 45 cents a pound.” He reminded the farmers “even at 45 cents you will be producing the cheapest cotton in the world." In the meantime, cotton farmers who have followed the Farm Bureau’s plan for mark¬ eting this year’s cotton crop are now ready to reap benefits. Since the USDA’s report last week of a 15,671,000 bale cotton crop, prices have advanced to ine ceiling of 45 cents per lb. H L. Wingate, President of ne Georgia organization, said in cautioning farmers “There is an estimated 66,000,000 bales of cc on that have been placed in *’ an or have been held on the -arm from the market. We now market this cotton '• cerly - To do otherwise would nave a tendency to lower the pnce below the ceiling." He continued, “Every bale of ne 1951 crop will be needed, a .““ bere Is no reason why you ‘-••-Uid not get the ceiling price for y°ur cotton."
