Bccording to the 1935 census Brt S.150.8S7 acres were planrin crops that were harvested H;n eastern North Caro The base acreage in this Hg for cotton, tobacco, and Buts. according to Triple-A Bracts, is as follows: cotton, 1,460 acres: tobacco, 469,043,1 B-j the peanut base, 218,893 B; Crops harvested in 1935 Br than the three crops menBed above, according to the B census figure, were from B$.5?I aa Bhe maximum payments for Brt-C cotton is 5 cents a Brd for the yield per acre esB'hed under the Triple-A.
