Cotton Crop Will Be Up By Millions Washington.—The Agriculture de partment yesterday forecast a 1951 cotton crop of 17,206,000 bales, 7,- 254,000 bales more than last year’s crop and 5,236,000 bales above the 1940-49 average. m Added to the August 1 carryover of 1,900,000 bales from last year’s small crop, this would bring the na tion’s total cotton supply for 1951-52 to about 19,106,000 bales. Roughly 16,000,000 bales are needed to sat isfy current domestic and export needs. The crop reporting board took in to account an average two per cent and the 10-year average yield of 237.5 pounds per acre. Weevil infestation on August 1 was sharply below that of a year ago and materially below the 10-year average in most states. With tem peratures above normal and rainfall below, the report said, weather con ditions were favorable for insect control.
