Stamp Out the Mongrel Cotton and R*
place It with Varletiea That Will
Produce Standard Inch to Inoh
And One-Blxteenth
Atlanta, Oa. —“Organize your coni'
niunity to grow better cotton," aaya
Dr. Jno. R. Fain, Agronomist of the
Georgia State College of .Agriculture.
“Only by organizing communities to
grow single varieties of cotton can the
mongrel, poor yielding, short lint
breeds thut have been harming the
reputation of North Georgia cotton, be
driven out and kept out.”
1 Continuing Dr. Fain said: “North
Georgia cotton was long known to the
trade as an inch staple, in fact lint
of that length may be said to be the
North Georgia standard. It waa on
cotton of this standard length that
North Georgia won Its premium U
the market.
"In recent years new varieties ol
short lint have been brought lntt
North Georgia. These varieties hav
mixed with and mongrelissed a groal
deal of the cotton in this region with
the result that North Georgia stand
ards have been lowered and the mar
ket ir beginning to pay accordingly.
"What are North Georgia farmen
going to do about It?
"The way to reclaim lost ground l!
to discard the Inferior cottons and'gel
back the old-time standards. This cai
be done most quickly and effectivelj
by community action.
“Let a community of farmers agre
to grow only one variety. This v
rtety can then be kept comparatlvelj
pure. The seed can be sold for plant
lng purposes at two or three tlme<
what the oil mills will pay.
"By growing one variety of an lncl
staple, the community quickly rstab
llahos a reputation among buyers, ant
the best price the market affords cat
be obtainbd. The reputation that I
community gains for length of lint hai
more to do with the average prices re
celvod for cotton in the community
than is generally appreciated.
"The best indication of what an]
community can do Is afforded by whai
sumo community has already done.
Community That Has Acted.
“Three years ago as the result 01
Interest in pure seed created by
local Smith-Hughes Vocational School
at Wlntervllle, Oa„ the farmers of that
community; started to growing Col
lege No. 1 cotton seed. They planted
60 acres the first year. The secont
year 700 acres were planted and t* h
year about 1600 acres. Other varlotie*
are being rapidly eliminated.
"Before this community movemen'
started the local gin handled about 2<
per cent of the cotton ginned la tht
county. The third season after start
ing the good seed movement the loca
gin handled 60 per cent of the cottoi
ginned In the county.
"Furthermore, the cooperating
farmers have kept their cotton re
latively pure and aro selling all thi
seed they can spare at three time*
what the oil mills will pay.
"As an Indication of the interest be
ing created In that region, the Win
.tervllle farmer* called upon tho Col
lege of Agriculture to give then* i
short course in seed selection.
