Abstract:
After an absence of almost ten years due to destruction by the boll weevil in the 1970s, cotton has returned to eastern North Carolina. Cotton was an important trade commodity for New Bern, and continues to be equally as important to our welfare thanks to the efforts of the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
