Cotton Growers Lack Fertilizer
Washington today saw Senator Smith of South Carolina introduce a senate resolution urging the agriculture committee to study the fertilizer shortage, notably potash. He noted reports from Southern state commissioners indicating possible 30 to 50 percent yield losses per acre if fertilizer access remains blocked, with nitrates and phosphoric acid also rising in price. The outlook predicts a poor cotton yield next year unless supplies improve, risking large acreage and high costs with little profit.
