...December delivery. Wrigley gum sales in this southern area run about $12,000,000 per year, all of which Mr. Wrigley is ready to invest in cotton and leave in the South.

The Farm Board's new Cotton Stabilization Corp., similar to grain stabilization, prepared to take over one million bales of the 1929 surplus held by cooperatives for loans, and thereby commence its market career with an initial loss of $15,000,000 to clear the way for the 1930 crop.
