QIIESTION: How is a
riety cotton community
lished? —..
ANSWER: The first step is to
have in'crested farmers. Then '
they should sec the county agent,
who will aid them in setting up
an organization for the improve
ment of cotton in their communi
ty. Arrangements will then fie
made with ginners to take the
samples necessary for the classifi
cation. The organization ■will
make an application through the
county agent for free classing
and m-arket news service. This
application must be filed la the
office of the cotton marketing
specialist at N'. C. State College
by August 15.
