At Long Beach they were HEAVY REDUCTION IN COTTON ACREAGE The cotton belt has this year recorded an unprecedented change in the ratios of the acreage devoted to leading crops. A change of 5 pct in the country-wide acreage of a major crop is unusual, 10 pct is rare, and 15 pct is unknown except under extraordinary circumstances, such as arose during the war, or in the case of fall-sown grains when severe winter killing may result in extreme changes. The 10 leading cotton states of North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas have cut their cotton 10,194,000 acres, or 28 pct from last year, according to figures compiled by the Bureau of Markets and Crop Estimates, U.S. Dept. of Agriculture. In addition they reduced rice 450,000 acres, or 39 pct, and tobacco 262,000 acres or 32 pct., a total reduction for these crops of 10,906,000 acres. These reductions which were due to the unsatisfactory prices for last year's crops resulting from financial deflation, coupled with heavy stocks and lessened buying, are partly offset by increases in the acreages of staple food and feed crops in these states. Corn shows a gain of 4,521,000 acres, or 13 pct.; wheat 607,000 acres, or 10 pct.; oats 740,000 acres or 13 pct.; hay 413,000 acres, or 5 pct.; sorghum and cane 79,000 acres or 10 pct., and potatoes 123,000 acres, or 10 pct.; a total increase in these six crops of 6,483,000 acres. Further offsets to the remaining difference of 4,423,000 acres exist in increased plantings of cowpeas, soy beans, velvet beans, and other less important crops. Alabama alone reported increased plantings of 334,000 acres of the three crops named, but these are largely planted in with corn and are therefore included in the acreage of that crop. The larger part of the 4,423,000 acres unaccounted for has gone back into pasture or is left idle. The land in cultivation during the past few years has been considerably in excess of the plantings in the pre-war period, the area under cultivation in the U.S.在1920年 having about 32 AUTO FAIR IN L.A.I.D.
