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

tration, Columbia, lists the following
named gins as being qualified to

ling done free by the government

cooperatives do to help rural peo
