Stennis Amendments
Benefit To Formers

United States Senator John
Stennis, commenting on official
cotton acreage allotments for 1857,
released last Wednesday by the
u. S. Department of Agriculture,
said Il am pleased that the final
effect of my cotton acreage
amendments has been to practic-
ally prevent further reduction in
Mississippi's cotton acreage. AS a
result of my amendments, Missls-
sippi will lose only 2,018 acres in
stead of 1852 acres in 1857"
Senator Stennis was author of
three cotton amendments in the
1856 farm bill which almost COM
pletely offset the 11.4% reduction
in the 1857 cotton acreage pre-
viously scheduled for Mississippi.
The Mississippi Senator said,
"My cotton amendments will save
Mississippi farmers 182,609 acres
in 1857. With yields and prices
comparable to 1855 and 1856,
farmers will receive $30-million
more in gross income from cotton
than they would have realized
without my amendments"
Final tabulations show that
Mississippi will save 142,745 acres
under the amendment which pre-
vented further reduction in the
national allotment for 1857; gain
of 13,448 acres under the amend
ment which assures each farmer
the smaller of four acres or the
highest planted in the three pre-
vious years; and an increase of
26,416 acres under the amend
ment which added 94,l59 acres to
the national allotment to prevent
losses from shifts between states.
These amendments will also ap-
ply to the1958 cotton allotments,
and Mississippi stands to fare
even better at that time. Senator
Stennis said that he will continue
his fight to prevent further loss of
acreage in Mississippi.
