Troops Begin Cotton Picking in Arizona Amid War Food Measures
Washington reports the Army ordered troops to pick cotton in Arizona and President Roosevelt urged this move to spur Congress to furlough experienced farm hands. He noted some troops could be used for short agricultural work and stressed individual-case decisions. White and Black soldiers would harvest long staple cotton as needed, part of broader wartime food production actions. The wheat marketing quotas were lifted to ensure supplies, and 500,000 to 650,000 “victory farm volunteers” would be recruited for spring and summer farming. Congress debated crop laws, with Speaker Rayburn delaying a vote pending Agriculture Department guidance.
