This exceeded the million in 1957 because of the larger crop and higher average prices received by farmers. Growers received an average of cents per pound for cotton sold by May 1, 1959, compared with cents per pound for the below-average quality crop harvested during the preceding season. Average prices received by farmers this season trended downward until mid-january When ginnings were nearly completed. In March and April, prices received rose more than seasonally.
