Increased Cotton Acreage Across Southern States
The National Ginners Association reports on April 26 that cotton acreage in the southern states rose seven-tenths of one percent from the previous year. Eastern states show a small rise, valley states a slight drop due to boll weevil spread, and Oklahoma up about 10 percent. Texas sees a minor gain as feedstuffs grow scarce, while 64 percent of the crop is planted and replanting of about 14 million acres may be needed after cold weather. With normal weather, yield could drop by about 10 percent.
