ONE-VARIETY COMMUNITY
PLAN OF COTTON PRODUCTION
SHOWS MANY ADVANTAGES
AND BENEFITS—
A one-variety cotton community is
described as a group of growers and
ginner or ginners in a gin district,
a county, or larger area, who have
organized to improve the yield and
quality of their cotton crop by fol
lowing the one-variety-community
plan of production.
The one-variety growers agree to
follow the latest improved methods
of production that are necessary to
produce high yields, maintain the
purity of the planting seed, and
preserve the quality of the lint.
These include selection of the better
soils for cotton, use of suitable
and ample fertilizer, proper rotations
to increase and conserve fertility in
the soil, use of the best cultural
practices, care in picking and han
dling the crop, and good ginning.
Some of the mor outstanding of
advantages of one variety are:
1. It provides the,most economi
cal way to produce uniform, high
quality cotton in commercial quanti
ties, for which there has always
been a good demand at premium
prices.
2. It is the only practical way to
develop local supplies of pure plant
ing seed, and to make this seed
available from year to year to all
of the growers in the community at
a reasonable price.
3. It is the most effective way to
discourage the introduction of seed
of miscellaneous untried varieties
until their superiority over the adopt
ed variety has been offcially dem
onstrated.
4. Grossing of varieties in the
fields by bees and other insects and
mixing of the seed and lint at the
gin are avoided if only one variety
of cotton is grown and ginned in the
community.
5. Better adjustments of ginning
machinery can be maintained with
only one variety of gin, thereby
making it easier for the ginner to
preserve the quality of the cotton.
6. Larger yields per acre are ob
tained with pure seed of the im
proved varieties adopted in the one
variety communities.
7. A uniform wage for picking
can be established and maintained
more easily where only one variety
is grown in the community.
8. Free government grade and sta
ple, and market news services are
now available to growers in organ-
EARLY COUNTY NEWS, BLAKELY. GEORGIA
ized, one-variety communities. These
services furnish the growers with an
unbiased classification of the quality
of their cotton and current market
information.
9. To seeure additional marketing
advantages, the community growers
continue to produce the improved
cotton so that large, even-running
lots of the one-variety cotton can be
made available to the trade from
year to year.
10. When the community builds a
reputation for commercial quantities
of quality cotton, buyers are at
tracted, competitive bidding is stim
ulated, and the growers are in a
position to bargain for a premium
for the better cotton.
11. Bales of the adopted variety
can be labeled with an identification
mark or tag to keep farmers in
neighboring, mixed variety districts
from selling their inferior cotton in
the community and thereby eventual
ly injuring the reputation of the com
munity for good cotton.
12. Pure seed of' the improved
varieties is better for oil-milling
purposes and some mills are now
paying more for this higher grade
seed.
13. Where groups of growers have
organized for the improvement of
their cotton crop, the cooperation
and assistance of Government, State
and other agencies may be utilized
to the best advantage by all con
cerned.
14. Standardization of cotton pro
duction in one-variety communities
promotes cooperative effort in all
lines of agriculture, business, and
social development, to the mutual
benefit of growers and other citizens
in the community.

Attention, Farmers!
The government’s claim of priority
over steel and iron and other materials
needed for national defense is going to
make it difficult if not impossible to se
cure many of the implements needed on
the farm. We suggest that you take in
ventory of your supplies now and see
what is needed, and then replenish
while your needs may be filled.
We have on hand at the present time
many farm implements, plows, plant
ers and cultivators, and other hardware,
and urge you to buy before it is too late.
