Identifier: CAC_CC_047_1_3_49_0010

Scope and Contents

Joe C. Scott, President of the State Board of Agriculture in Oklahoma City, writes to Congressman George B. Schwabe to request an increase in the ceiling price for onions due to damage caused by hail, rain, and storms. The reduced production this year will result in farmers losing money unless the price is raised from $1.95 to $2.50 per bag. Scott emphasizes the importance of the onion industry in Oklahoma and asks for immediate consideration of his request.
