Texas cotton crop down forty thousand bales in 1955
The U S Department of Agriculture estimated Texas 1955 cotton production at 3.9 million bales, down 40 000 from 1954, with a per acre yield of 278 pounds the highest since 1866. The report cites improved moisture irrigation and good farming practices, but warns boll weevil pressure is higher outside the northwest and insect control remains essential.
