Cotton Acreage Reduction Campaign Urges Texas Farmers
A call from D E Lyday, president of the Texas State Farmers Union, urges immediate and radical action to cut cotton acreage. Citing USDA yearbooks, the piece links smaller plantings with higher prices, noting 1915 prices at 11.3 cents and a $251,000,000 gain from reduced output, while warning of market collapse if overproduction continues. Farmers are urged to hold current cotton stocks at 16 cents and shift one third of next crop to food and feed crops.
