Book excerpt: Excerpt from The 1952 Cotton Goal: 16 Million Bales From 28 Million Acres: Higher Yields Per Acre Through Improved Practices; More Efficient Production, Larger Net Returns; Modern Mechanical Methods Mean More Cotton Per Man Hour The -bale goal for 1952 reflects the continuing need for large cotton craps during the period of high-level business activity and con sumer income, in order to (a) supply the strong civilian demands for cotton and its products; (b) meet the requirements for additional quanti ties of cotton in the defense program; and (c) fill export demands of friendly foreign countries. If we do not produce cotton in quantities sufficient to supply these domestic and foreign demands, we will again be forced to limit exports to quantities we can spare, or be faced with insufficient supplies for our own civilian and defense needs. Such restrictive measures could ultimately mean a permanent loss in the total market for cotton. Tight supplies of cotton not only distort price-quality relationships, but also promote and accelerate production of synthetic fibers both at home and abroad. These losses of cotton markets, particularly to synthetics. Are extremely difficult to regain. Ample but not burden some supplies of cotton, produced efficiently at prices fair to both producer and consumer, are needed to protect cotton's long-range interest from loss of markets to other growths and other fibers.
