Cotton Allotted Aeresg* for
IKO must either be planted, re
leased, or lost. In 1941, Chowan
County grew 3,680 acres of cot
ton. In 1942. we grew 4,3<50
acres cf cotton. In 1960. our
cotton allo:tncnt is 2.532 acres.
Tnis is a reduction of 1.1-4 S acres
of cotton frcm 1941 to 1960.
What has become of our cot
ton allotment 1 T ere ate two
factors involved in the answer:
to this question. First, there
has been some over-all reduc
tion in allotment. Second, we
have lost a let ei cotton acreage
because of failure to r ant.

Mexico, California and so»r:e oth
er states has been increasing.
These states want cotton be
cause it is profitable to them.
Many of these areas use irri
gation and all of them follow
modem practices for high pre
, dec;ion and good quality. This
means more efficient production
for greater prof.t.
L ist year, a few cotton grow
ers m Chowan County produced:
over two bales of cotton per
acre. Their soil is no better
than that i n most farms. The
wrather was the same. How
did they do it? They used good
seed and left a stand of plants
.vc .aging four to five plants
per foot of row. The stand was
no. cheeped but merely thinned
out in the thick spots. Fertilizer
~;ii side-dressing was according
to soil test recommendations and
the grower's knowledge of his
land. Other food production
practices were followed. The
cotton was picked reasonably
early and when most of it was
open. Two bales per acre is not
unreasonable to aim for on ev-;
| ery farm in Chowan County.
'• Mechanical harvesting reduces
cost but must Co p.annec: for
! frcm the start. The row width
should be forty inches but thirty
eight incites will work. Grass
and weeds must De controlled.
. especially from last cultivation
,to harvest. Grass fouls uo the
1 p eker and- rums the grade of
cot cn. By applying the proper
weed control chemical at last
cultivation, this problem can be
solved.
To justify a mechanical picker,
a farmer should have at least
thirty acres. How can this be
solved with small acreages? By
e conch sms ’ growers cooperat
ing in purchasing and operating
ia picker, or bv custom opera
tion. Agatn. for a custom opera
tor to plan, enough, growers
mils*, haw an agreement with
h m so that he wiU be sure of
encash acreage to justify his
machine.
Cotton ts suit " good cash
erep in Chowan County. To
keep it so and to keen our
acreage, eye irust do the follow
ing: Either Plant-or re’ease the
allotment. Produce high yields
of the best quality possible.
Mechanize and produce most ef
ficiently. Market to the best
advantage. Mr. Cotton Grower,
will you make this your goal
