Georgia cotton crop outlook disputed by state official
State Agriculture Commissioner AO B Stevers challenged a Washington report on Georgia cotton. He warned the crop would be very short, late in North Georgia, damaged by boll weevils and heat, with South Georgia fairer but not as large as last year. He pegged possible totals near 11 million bales as a maximum. Senator Harvie Jordan condemned the Washington assessment for depressing prices before marketing.
