Plan to Speed Crop Benefits
Washington officials said the Agriculture Department will hasten farm aid payments as farm income dips and crop prices fall to four year lows. About 755 million dollars will be available for farmers under this year’s crop control and soil conservation programs with early 130 million in price adjustments for cotton growers. Payments for wheat tobacco corn and general crops will follow this fall for those meeting soil building practices. A new aerial survey method will speed planting estimates to reduce payment lags.

Hidalgo lint allowable cut proves costly
Hidalgo County farmers face a costly 1938 cotton allotment as the AAA shifts its basis for allowable production. An approved 76,000 acres contrasts with 130,000 planted and 90,000 in production, with 40,000 acres destroyed by pests and weather. Excess cotton may reach 7,000 to 10,000 bales, risking fines up to 2 cents a pound. County agent R. G. Burwell protested the 39.2 percent allotment, while Willacy and Cameron counties await totals.
