One Third Increase In Texas Cotton Acreage Sought
The Bureau of Agricultural Economics urged a 2,100,000 acre expansion to cotton in Texas for 1947, a 44 percent rise toward a national 4.8 million acre plan, amid doubt farmers can expand so quickly and in the face of lower prices. Secretary Anderson projected 12.6 million bales for 1947, roughly equal to 1940 and 1942 crops, to meet domestic needs while keeping stocks healthy. The report notes 1946 produced 8.482 million bales. The piece also mentions unrelated notes on global temperature minimum and mustard affects on stomach lining.
