' Development of the I ad ns try ’
The first efforts to grow cotton in
the United States were mbde in Vir-
ginia about 1721 and until the lat-
ter part cf 'the earn century its culti-
vation was confined chiefly to tho

cipally for dlom:pti! uses Thet first
exportation of cotton consisting of
bays weighed 1200 pound was
made from Wert Virginia in 1874
Oklahoma in 1924 had the honor
of producing mere cotton than any
