Missouri cotton acreage to be cut twenty five percent
Portageville Mo Missouri's share of the national cotton acreage allotment of 17910488 acres proclaimed on October 8 1954 by Secretary Ezra Taft Benson will be about 390000 acres. Hilton L Bracey executive vice president of the Missouri Cotton Producers Association says Missouri's allotment may vary but won't be materially altered. Bracey argues the national allotment should be at least 22 million acres to avoid hardships and allow gradual adjustment. He urges state and county reserves be expanded to address inequities and hardship cases and notes a proposal to Congress to raise the national allotment and provide latitude for adjustments.
