Oklahoma Cotton Forecast Sets 1924 Peak Outlook
Oklahoma officials project a 1,010,992 bale cotton crop for 1924 based on first state survey. Planting reaches record 3,692,000 acres, up 10 percent from last year, but yield hinges on frost date and pest control. Conditions improved in late June despite grasshoppers, with an estimated 71 percent of normal growth and potential lint yield of 138 pounds per acre.
