Cotton Acreage
Mr.. Corley discussed the cot

Porify Discussed
Mr. Corley believes in and SUD-
ports a 80 per cent government
parity for staple crops such as
cotton, wheat, rice, corn and to-
bacco.
He explained the economic ne

disaster-stating that the farmer
had to buy everything he needed |
to produce his crops in a highly |
protected market and is forced |
to sell his products in an unpro- |

Just as the government pro-
tects labor with minimum

protection for his products.
