California farmers are forecast to harvest a bumper cotton crop in 1946 with an estimated yield of 579 pounds per acre, nearly double the national average. Total state production is about 431,000 bales from 357,000 acres, with 1945 producing 353,000 bales. Kern County is seen as a likely standout. The Agricultural Extension Service warns of food thieves and pests reducing supplies for the famine fight.
