$100 Million
Cotton Loss
The- long awaited rains came to -
.Texas this year, and came, again
and again and again.
Now that blessing has become a
kind of curse in many cotton areas
of Texas. Ill-fated fall rains on
the unharvested cotton have caus-
ed a crop quality loss conserva-
tively estimated as over $100 mil-
lion.
Cotton farmers in the rain-soak-
ed areas are suffering economic-
ally now almost as much as they
did during the drouth, particular-
ly in Centred and East Texas.
Many of them made their first
cotton crop in several years, only
to see it slowly ruin in the rain.
In early November, an estimat-
ed million bales remained un-
picked in Texas fields. The pick-
ers could not get the muddy rows
to gather the cotton.
These unpicked bales represent-
ed a current value of somewhere
between $150 to $250 million, de-
pending on its grade. But the fiber
quality and value dropped more
each day as the rains continued.
In some areas, the farmer had
to begin thinking in terms of sal-
vaging his cotton, rather than har-
vesting it. This is a real blow to
the growers who had early pros-
pects of the best cotton crop in

many years. '
On the brighter side, prospects
for winter grains were consider^
ably increased by the fall mois-
ture. But this is poor consolation
to a vast number of farmers
whose main cash crop is still cot-
ton.
Most of the cotton still unpick-
ed will eventually be harvested,
even though the grade is poor. In
this respect, Texas joins Mississ-
ippi this year where rains also
damaged one of the best crops of
a decade.
