Texas Cotton Crop To Be 2 752 920 Bales
Texas Agriculture Commissioner George B. Terrell says the August 1 condition implies a Texas yield of 2 752 920 bales with possible further reductions from hot winds. He cites boll weevil leaf worm and boll damage and forecasts a maximum crop near 11 million bales, a deficit of about 2 million bales for world needs. He argues the current short crop justifies prices of 25 to 30 cents and accuses a conspiracy aimed at keeping prices low.
