7 Step Cotton Program Boosts Texas Yields and Savings
Texas cotton producers saved about 50.1 million dollars in labor by harvesting 2 million bales mechanically in 1958 and another 14 million plus through machines and chemicals for weed and grass control. The 7 Step Cotton Program initiated 13 years ago by the Texas Agricultural Extension Service united county and state committees to raise yields. Since 1946 the lint yield per harvested acre rose from 134 to a 1958 record of 387 pounds with support from 204 counties.
