much talk Of 'stabIeizing" TIE
price Of cotton. At that time
the price could have been fixed
at about 80 cents, but such a
how was raised that this was
not done, so along came peace
and down went cotton. The
price Of wheat was fxod at 50. 20
and it now seems that this
guarantee is going to cost this

to fixing the price Of cotton that.
