MAY# 1964 1964-Crop Cottonseed Price Supports W. T. MELVIN Unchanged From Last Year NCPA President Price support for cottonseed in 1964 will be at a national average price support level of $44 per ton, basis grade 100, the USDA has announced. This is the level at which purchases from producers will be made. There will be appropriate differentials for ginners in order to reflect normal handling costs. The national average price support level announced is the same as that for 1963. The law provides that whenever the price o f cottonseed or soybeans is supported, the support price of the other m ust be kept at a level which enables these commodities to compete on equal terms in the market. There are about 495,000 U. S. cotton farmers who re­ ceive a substantial income from cottonseed. Value of the 1963 cottonseed crop was $331,000,000 compared to the 1958-62 average of $258,000,000. The 1964-crop price support announced reflects approxi­ mately 70 per cent of March parity price of $62.90 per ton for cottonseed. Cottonseed price supports are carried out primarily by means of an oil purchase program through oil mills that agree to pay not less than support prices fo r cottonseed. W . T.

Improved Cooperation and Communications Needed In Cotton Industry, Fresno Seminar Told The cotton industry needs better cooperation and com­ munication. This was the consensus last week at Fresno as the Cotton Economics Seminar came to a close in the Fresno Hacienda Hotel. The more than 400 cotton growers and processors and representatives of allied industry attending the two day seminar heard the need for cooperation stressed by ex­ perts from a variety of related fields, including an urban congressman whose voting record is becoming increasingly hostile to agricultural legislation. “We are tired of being told to understand the problems of the farmers when those same farmers show no evidence of understanding ours. It’s a two-way street,” said Con­ gressman Robert N. Giaimo of North Haven, Connecticut, “and we need your help just as much as you need ours.
