(Farmers this year are- expected to
harvest the smallest cotton acreage
- since 1885, with the exception of the
1945 and 1946 harvests.;
That's what the Department of
Apiculture says in a report received
by Congressman Herbert C. JBqnner.
The harvest acreage for this year is
estimated at 18,366,000 acres. That's
83 per cent less than last year's har
vest acreage of over 27,000,000 acres.
Acreage reductions resulted from
reinstatement of cotton acreage allot
ments and marketing quotas.
North Carolina's acreage this year
is reported to be 34 per cent lower
than last year's 869,000 acres. That
gives North Carolina a 1950 acreage
of 670,000. The average for 1939
1948 was 750,000.
According to the Agriculture report,
the number of boll weevils emerging

the State falls far short of what nu
tritionists recommend for good health,
says D. W. Colvard, head of the Ani
mal Industry Department of the North
Carolina Experiment iStation. , '
The State would heed half again as
much milk if its citizens consumed
the amount of milk and dairy pro
ducts recommended by nutntipmsts,
says Colvard. They recommend 801
quarts of milk or its equivalent in
dairy products per person annually.
The average person in the United;
States consumes 284 quarts, but the
average in North
228 quarts.
Fluid milk was once a classic ex
ample of North Carolina's livestock
deficiency. . During the past 10 years,
local Grade A production has, equalled
or exceeded the demand during'; the
summer of "flush milk" season. How-
Carolina is only
Grade A milk isn't the only product
falling short in State - consumption.
Only about a fourth of the beef con
sumed in North Carolina is produced
here. , About a tenth of the eggs and
the poultry products consumed come
from' out-of-state sources. ,
Under our present economic system
the, desire to be self-sufficient is not
a justifiable motive, Colvard continues.
However, there are other reasons for
producing all the livestock products
we consume.
Such products are the most perish
able foods we have. When they are
shipped into -the -State, sometimes
from great distances, they, lose some
of their flavor and food value. - Also
livestock products are bulky, meaning
that a large part of the price paid for
them is transportation charges.
