PAGE TWO Chowan One Os 12 Bale-To-An-Acre Counties In State North Carolina Cotton Crop In 1940 Was 61% Above 1939 746,000~8ALES Yield of 425 Pounds Pei Acre Establishes All Time Record Chowan County is included in a dozen bale-to-the-acre cotton coun ties, reported in a final review issued by the State Department of Agricul ture. Tne banner counties, reporting production of a bale or more to the acre, are: Camden, Chowan, Cleve land, Currituck, Gates, s Hertford, Martin, Northampton, Pasquotank Perquimans, Pitt and Wilson. North Carolina’s 1940 cotton crop was valued at $35,150,000, or about 61 per cent above 1939. Adding the value of cotton seed estimated at $7,370,000, to the value of cotton lint, the total value of last year’s drop was placed at $42,520,- 000 and given the rank of number 2 among the State's cash crops, reports V. T. Wesson, junior statistician ot the Department. The 1940 cotton yield of 425 pounds per acre eclipsed the 1911 all time record by 83 pounds, while pro duction totaled 740,000 bales from 833,000 acres. “Production was about 62 per cent above 1939 and 12 per cent above the 10-year (1929-1938) average,” Wesson added. “The 1940 produc tion increase was due mainly to the large increase in acreage and yields throughout the eastern part of the State. “For the 41 coastal counties, the average per acre yield last season was 447 pounds of lint compared with only 235 pounds in 1939. Yield increases were accompanied by an increased acreage of 73,675, resulting in a 126 per cent larger production in coastal counties compared with 1939.” In the United States last year cot ton production totaled 12,686,000 bales compared with 11,817,000 for the 10-year (1929-1938) average. * ACORN HILL 1 e -V Mrs. Elisha Hurdle, of Suffolk, Va. visited her parents, Mr. and Mrs .
