Cleveland County Leads In Cotton Production
The Observer notes Cleveland County, a mountain foothill county, has emerged as a top cotton producer. This season it yields as many as 45,343 bales, leading Johnston with 37,641 and Robeson with 26,045. The rise is attributed to intensive cultivation and scientific farming by Max Gardner and farm agents, with a 775 bale gain over last year. Nearby Rutherford and Polk show lower yet notable gains as cotton patches spread toward the mountains.
