Poage Sees Deliberate Revision of Texas Cotton Acreage
Representative W. R. Poage charges the Agriculture Department fixed Texas cotton acreage figures to shift 1948 totals under a different formula for 1950 allotments. He cites a 10 000 acre upward revision and says farmers lost war crop credits. Department official E. D. Bell says no fixing occurred, only adherence to the law.
