Australian Cotton Prospects Rise With Growth Plans
Crawford and Vaughan of the Cotton Growers Association express optimism for Australia’s cotton. Seed cotton output rose to under 1 million pounds in 1921 and 4 million pounds in 1920 with 2,000 growers. 1923 projections show 15,000 growers yielding 25 to 50 million pounds. Acreage of 70,000 is set to double in 1924 as a $1 million investment funds new plants, and a large Sydney spinning plant is under construction to kick off a major manufacturing venture.
