Effectiveness Of Cotton Controls Now Claimed
Washington July 9. AAA officials claim effectiveness of the crop control law as a 7 567 000 acre drop in farmland planted to cotton. The crop reporting board put July 1 acreage at 26 904 000 versus 34 471 000 a year ago, with 27 527 596 acres allotted for planting this year. Factors beyond the law also reduced plantings, including low prices and bad weather, yielding the smallest harvest since 1900 and a 13 000 000 bale surplus from last year’s record. The on hand supply can meet domestic and export needs for a full year.
