Abstract: In 1963 the Commodity Credit Corporation office in New Orleans surveyed warehouses approved for storage of Government-loan cotton. The information gathered provided the Department with its most complete national cotton traffic flow pattern in over 30 years. It showed a shift from rail to truck in moving cotton from warehouses in certain Cotton Belt areas, particularly in the Southeast. The motortruck has emerged as the dominant carrier of cotton grown within the Southeast.
