Cotton Belt, for cotton is the economic mainstay of the region.
The industry-wide program js implemented through the
Cotton Council, .which since 1939 has fought the good fight

for fiber and seed. .
The successful conduct of the Council’s pro^am already
has done much to assure increased income for Cotton Belt
farm workers.
