E Short
Small-
Hie final cotton report of the year
places North Carolina’s production at|
*>5,000 bales, compared with 388,000
noales last year, 780,000 bales in 1937,
and a ten-year average (1928-37)
| crop of 720,000 bales. With the ex
ception of the 1938 production, this
[|s the shortest crop since 1901.
[R Reports from growers as of Decem
ber Ist indicate that 769,000 acres
were in cultivation on July Ist, of
which 746,000 acres were left for
harvest. The acreage harvested is
13 percent less than that picked last
year and is the smallest acreage for
North Carolina since 1877. During
the past decade, cotton has shown a
decided downward trend in acreage in
this State. For instance, in 1926
North Carolina harvested 1,802,000
acres of cotton. .This year is the
first time in history that the acreage
devoted to cotton was less than that
for tobacco-
The yield per acre for this season
estimated at 291 pounds, which is
9U>, pounds higher than the 1938 yield
Ks 216 pounds and 10 pounds above
Fthe ten-year (1928-37) average yield.
L The Department of Commerce re-
Fports 447,000 bales ginned prior to
■December Ist, which represents the
Hugest proportion of the total crop
[ ginned to this date on record for
North Carolina. The 1939 crop ma
tured earlier than usual and fall
ideal for picking and I
ginning. I
This year’s crop has been peculiar-1
lj different in that it varies from'
very poor in the northeastern part of
the State to excellent in the southern
Piedmont. Many cotton counties bor
dering Virginia are reporting yields
of almost a failure, whereas counties
adjacent to South Carolina are re
porting frequent yields of over a bale
per acre. For example, Cleveland
County has one of the best crops in
its history and is expecting a final
per acre yield of close to a bale,
