Brazilian Cotton Threat Prompts Arkansas Scientific Farming
Harper Sibley, president of the U S Chamber of Commerce, warned Arkansas farmers Tuesday that competition from Brazil and Argentina in world cotton raises the need for scientifically based farming. He described Egypt's ancient irrigation and crop rotation as a model. He noted Brazilian land expansion, high world prices, and a surge in Argentine production with a U S concern operating multiple gins and plants there. He traced cotton’s historical prominence in Brazil and its decline with coffee and slavery abolition.
