A 1922 Arkansas South report notes cotton farming returning to central belt counties hit hardest by boll weevil and labor disruption. White smallholders and black tenants drive gains with intensive fertilization and crops, while Georgia and Carolinas may falter due to higher land costs and labor. Examples in Boligee area show profitable results from intensive methods on 85 acres, with soil rest and modern fertilizer use lifting yields despite past abandonment.
