Twenty-Six Percent Cotton Sampled Under the Smith-Doxey Act pass ed by Congress a few years ago, making it possible for farmers to have their cotton sampled and grad ed free by government classes, re cords show that 26 percent of the cotton ginned in Laurens county in 1949 were sampled under the Smith- Doxey program. The farmer is not- jified through the mail by card of his grade, staple and class of his cot- ■ton which gives him information on ! which to check conditions on local market. In order to get this sampling serv ice free, it was necessary to have i farmers organized into what is , known as a one-variety cotton area. Laurens county farmers are organ ized into an association known as the Laurens County Cotton Improve ment association. Officers of the as sociation are: James D. Wasson, Hickory Tavern community, presi- ; dent; L. N. Cook, Gray Court, al- j ;ternate group representative, and C. j i B. Cannon, county agent, as group ! representative. Under the set-up for the county | any and all ginners may qualify, if ! they so desire, in the program, ' which is a big help to the farmers, j Information received from the office of John B. Grimball, in charge, Co lumbia office, Cotton Branch of the Production and Marketing Adminis tration, Columbia, lists the following named gins as being qualified to draw cotton samples and have samp ling done free by the government classers: Cook Gin Company and S. P. Moore Gin, Gray Court; South ern Cotton Oil Company, Laurens; jE. J. Poole, Enoree; R. G. and Mil-| ton S. Wood Gin, Greenwood com munity, and Wasson Bros. Gin, Hie-. kory Tavern community. Any farmer who has his cotton 1 ; ginned where the cotton samples arc 1 graded by government classers as described above, may use this same . grade and staple class in getting government loan on cotton place J in a bonded warehouse without any cost as to having his cotton regrad-! ed.

This shows what cooperatives do to help rural peo ple. Every reason to believe the tel ephone cooperatives will grow and serve the rural people in like man ner. Yes, rural people want phones. Why have they not had them? The territory is the ^me territory that has been here in the past, since the beginning of time. This cooperative rural telephone project is not lim ited to county boundaries, nr has it any connection with the R.EA. or private companies, or whether the person has any electric service at all, in so far as its control in oper ation.
