A forecast of an enormous cotton ciop of 15,584,000 bales, the larges since 1926, yesterday complicated the already serious American agricultural condition while the FPederal Farm Board ‘was considering a new German offer to buy 17,000,000 bushels of stabilization corporation wheat. The board late Pri- day rejected a German offer to pur- chase from 600,000 to 800,000 bales of eotton because the credit conditions offered by Berlin were unsatisfactory. The Parm Board was plainly sur- vrised at the report issued by the cot- ton reporting board of the Department of Agriculture waich showed the United States will produce this year a crop of nearly 2,000,000 bales above normal. ‘The yield last year was 13,932,000 bales. it was said to sum up a situation which indicates that by the end of 1931, un- less the board is successful in negoti- ating sales or unless normal demands pick up, the United States may have on its hands 13,000,000 bales of cotton that no one in the world wants.

Senator William J. Harris of Georgia in a statement sald he was pleased over rejection of the German offer cause it would have been “ruinous to the cotton growers of the South.” “The publication that the Farm Boird would seil the cotton it held to! Germany depressed the price of cotton an anything that has hap- pened,” sald Senator Harris, Senator James F. Byrnes of South Cerolina saild he felt the protests against the sale of cotton to Germany had an effect on the Farm Board. He said the proposed sale would have sent cotton down to 5 cents. With rolation to payment soon of claims of German nationals by the Treasury Department, from which the Farm Board has suggested purchases of cotton may be made privately, the ‘Treasury Department indicated about 320,000,000 would be available to Ger- many in & short time.
