UTTLE ROCK AP The 1962 Arkansas cotton crop, forecast at 550000 pounds, may shrink to about 500 pounds per acre due to intense heat and three weeks without rain. The Weather Bureau notes this is one of the driest Augusts on record in central Arkansas, with Little Rock logging 0.18 inches of rain and temperatures near 105. Rice and soybeans also suffer from the lack of rainfall as most crops are harvested and irrigation remains critical for fields. The first bale was picked two weeks ago from Cummins Prison farm.
