AnaCuLTux*,
About 95 percent of the cotton produced hi aea in which the proposed amendment would tend to increase obtctn alloumets for 1942 is less than 1 inch In
staple length. Our present sIpply of these short-staple ottos is about double
oUr needs on the basis Of the present rate of consumption. The Department, a
indicated i the pross release of March 4, 1942, not only requested farmers to
plant up to their full allotments, but also recommended a larger production within
the allotments of cotton of a staple length of 1 inch or more.
For these reasons the Department hoes not favor the enactment of this bill.
The Bureau of the budget advise that it has no objection to the submission of
this report.
