HIGHWAY DEPARTMENT SEEKS CONTROL OVER ROAD ENTRIES Columbia.—One of the main causes Tnghways and South Carolina can Reminding cotton farmers that j too big a crop this year would re sult in production and market con- j trols for 1954, as well as a depress-! ing effect on prices, Secretary of ! Agriculture Ezra Taft Benson has issued a statement regarding the cotton situation. “The gcxjd cotton crops of the ^ past two years have supplied the needs for domestic consumption and exports,” said the secretary, “and they have also rebuilt reserve supplies. Export demand has also! been falling off from the levels of recent years. It will therefore not be necessary, or desirable, for farm ers to produce as big a crop this year. A production of 12 to 12.2 million bales now appears to be de sirable in 1953. "Plantings reduced nationally by about 18 percent from 1952 would, with average yields, produce a crop of 12 to 12.5 million bales. Based on present estimates farmers should, on the average, plant less than five j acres this year for each six planted last year, if the^ are to avoid a pro-; clamation of marketing quotas for the 1954 crop, under the provisions' of the controlling legislation.
