Big Cotton

Crop For U.S.

This Year

But Over-Production Will Be Avoided

Washington, Apr. 17.

⚫ Conditions in the United States are "conducive to a large cotton nereage" this year, according to a survey by the Department of Agriculture,

The cotton farmer, in planning his crop this year, is faced with a smaller supply of American coiton but n larger world supply, dus to the in- creased foreign production, the De- partment said.

The Department announced that an increase in production in an amount substantially greater than the redue- tion in this year's world carry-over of American cotton might be burden-

some,

The Department summarised the contton outlook as follows: "With a further reduction in world carry-over of American contton, as now appears probable, the 1937 United States crop could be increased somewhat without giving world supply for the season 1037-38 larger than the supply of this cotton for the present seASON.

"Although an increase in the supply for export would tend to strengthen the competitive position of American cotton In world markets the advisa- billty of increasing production de- pends upon its effects on the income of producers over a period of years."

The Department sald that the world. supply of American cotton for the 1930-37 season is expected to be about 1,000,000 bales less than in the pre- vious season, the lowest in 12 years and 0 per cent. less than a 10-year average.

.

The world carry-over of American cotton at the beginning of the season was approximately 2,000,000 bales less than a year ago and the smallest in six years, but was 17 per cent. larger than the 10-year average, the Department stated.

The carry-over of foreign cotton was expected to reach a new penk and exceed the average by 47 per cent.

Total foreign production last season was estimated at 17,500,000 bales,. am increase of 1,000,000 bales over the record crop of the 1935 season and 50 per cent.` above the 1923-33 average.

The Department announced that if the supply of foreign cotton should continue to increase, relative to American cotton, would become increasingly influential in determining the world price of all cottons."-- United Press.
