Texas to Curtail Cotton
Austin announces Texas passes a cotton acreage reduction bill aimed at a 50 percent curtailment for 1932 and 1933. Farmers may plant at most 80 percent of their current year’s land in cotton next year, with further limits in 1933 and a prohibition on successive-year cotton planting after 1933. The measure, adopted 19 to 10 in the Senate and 80 to 82 in the House, awaits Governor Sterling’s signature. Critics warn of unconstitutionality, while supporters cite conservation and rotation provisions.
