ON COTTON URGED
Bankhead Urges Roosevelt
to Authorize 10.CentS.
a-Pound Figure.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Bankhead. Democrat. Of
Alabama, today asked President
Roosevelt TO authorize 4 Government
loan OF 10 cents a pound on cotton.
The. Senator, saying Secretary WAL
lace had advocated 9-cent loan
told newspaper men 10 cents would be
best for both the Government and the
farmer because the farmer actually
was going to get l2-cent cotton any
way"
The President recently WAS reported
to have agreed with the cotton bloc
In Congress to order loans on this
years cotton to farmers who pledged
compliance with crop control legis-
lation which will be enacted next
session.
Mr.. Roosevelt also agreed. the bloc
members said, to grant A subsidy rep
resenting the difference between the
loan figure and II cents. but to with
hold payment until after actual COM
pliance with new control law.
Bankhead said the Government
would only have to pay 4 2-cent sub
sidy under 10-cent loan. He added
such 4 loan would keep the price from
falling below 10 cents, thereby CIV
ing higher immediate return to
the farmer who will have to wait until
next year for his subsidy.
Meanwhile. = Senate subcommittee
went forward with its study Of bill
by Senator McAdoo. Democrat. of Cali
fornia, to guarantee to farmers the
cost of production Of their domesti-
cally consumed crop.
A. G. Black. director of the Bureau
Of Agricultural Economics, testified
the plan was virtually impossible OF
administration" He asserted the leeis-
lation would tend to curtail domestic
consumption while increasing produc-
tion There would be an increasingly
serious problem Of surplus disposal"
