Acreage the lowest since 1863, but a 10,750,000 bale carryover eases shortage worries. ICC forms for purchases due by August 15, CCC prices announced by location, and farmers urged to have cotton classified to realize value.

Halsey’s Fleet Planes Set Five Nip Ships Ablaze
In a Sunday report from Guam, a large force of B 21s dropped fire bombs on 21 percent of Japan’s warned cities. Admiral Halsey’s air men left to cruisers aflame at Kure, including the Horuna and Ine battleships, the Asybs heavy cruiser, and Tone and Gyado light cruisers. Japanese wreckage lay on deck as battleship Hugga rested bottom up. Admiral Nimits said one escort carrier was heavily damaged, three submarines sunk, and twelve other ships damaged. One Japanese plane was downed near the fleet, and 18 shot down over the Kure area. Eyewitnesses said American destroyers could handle the remnants of the former Imperial Fleet. MacArthur reported Okinawa based planes mined inland sea raids and that 832 super bombers have been active against Luzon and Formosa for two months. Bombers from Marianas dropped 3,400 tons on six cities and a seventh target, with another task force attacking an oil refinery. Returning air crews of American and British carrier planes were noted.
