Excerpt from Condition of Farmers in a White-Farmer Area of the Cotton Piedmont, 1924-1926
The upper piedmont counties of the Southeastern States contain an anglo-saxon population of colonial stock that for decades has received little migration either from abroad or from other States. This population has largely ignored the opportunities for greater prosperity to be found in the growing cities and more productive agricultural sections. Where cotton can be grown most families are engaged in its production on small acreages and continue to raise it much as their parents 'did in spite of the fact that incomes so earned are small and uncertain. Yields have been generally low, and very variable since the boll weevil became established.
