Book excerpt: Excerpt from North Carolina Farm Forecaster Agricultural Statistics, 1936-1937-1938-1939: December, 1939 North Carolina's cotton crop was grown primarily in the south ern Piedmont and eastern counties several decades ago, but now it is mostly grown in the southern Piedmont, as a result of the heavy weevil infestation in the east. The eastern counties have given way to tobacco, truck crop and hog production. The relative freedom from boll weevils in the western Piedmont section caused an expansion in the cotton acreage in that area. These western coun ties tend to' grow small plants, thick in the row, so as to produce and mature a few bolls per plant as early as possible. But in the eastern counties, cotton grows tall and has much foliage. This causes many late bolls to be grown in the shade 1and is conducive to extensive weevil activity.
