COTTON ACREAGE
BOOSTED IN N. E,
Farmers Are Growing 10 Per
Cent More Cotton Than
They Did Last Year

RALEIGH, July 8-R-North
Carolina farmers are growing 10
per cent more cotton than last
year, a federal-state crop report
showed today. The 1910 cotton
acreage was listed at approximate
ly 829, 900 acres as of July l, COM
pared with $4,000 in 1889.
Although larger than last year,
this years acreage still is 80 per
cent below the 10-year average OF
1929 to 1888, and, with the excep.
ton of 1889, is the smallest since
1848.
THE heavy reduction in the to.
bacco acreage in the state is pri-
marily responsible for the increase
in the cotton acreage" J. J. Nor
gan, agricultural statistician + I
the department, said. "In some oil
the major eastern North Carolina
tobacco counties, cotton paintings
were increased as much as 40 per
cent compared with last year. The
acreage in non-tobacco producing
counties remains about the same.
Extensive "mQpping'' programs,
coupled with comparatively d r.
June weather, have reduced the
boil weevil damage this year, com.
pared with last year, he said.
Only two other .states-Arizona
and New Mexico-increased Their
cotton acreage this year more THAI
