Assistant Secretary Hays released a Department of Agriculture statement on the June 4 cotton acreage estimate. He notes planted cotton at about 28,086,000 acres is near the truth but the 6.2 percent rise reflects revisions rather than this year's full increase. The Census Bureau’s final 1951 crop report showed about 400,000 bales more than the December 4 estimate. one third of last month’s increase stems from correcting prior work to align with the census. The release was approved by Secretary-Wisen.
