Aim Standardize Crops.
One of the aims of the company is
to standardize all field crops In
Grady county, This can be accom-
plshed, Mr. Hutson believes. Al
though special attention will be
given to Grady county, the sales ter
rtory of the company will include all
states west of the Mississippi river.
Special attention will be given to
wheat growing in Grady county, Mr..
Hutson announced today. He be-
lieves that it is possible to obtain
as much as 10 bushels per acre more
from the planting of pure bred seed
than can be produced by planting
the mixed varieties.
Thousands OF dollars, Mr.. Hutson
declares, has been added to the value
of the Grady county cotton crop as
result of planting pure-bred cotton
seed.
AS a result of the efforts Of the
county farm agent and the Acala Cot
ton Seed company, which maintains a
plant at Alex, cotton growing in
Grady county has been virtually
standardized, it is said. Mr.. Hut
son believes that all other field crops
in Grady county should and can be
standardized. When this is accom-
plished, he says, farmers OF the
county will reap larger harvests with
no more effort than is being put
forth at the present time.
Mr.. Hutson is head Of the Acala
Cotton Seed company and directed
the company's cotton standardiza-
ton" movement in the county. The
new corporation will not affect the
Acala Cotton Seed company, although
il may act as the sales manager for
the older corporation, Mr.. Hutson
says. 1t is said that the Acala Cot
ton Seed company's plant is one OF
the largest, il not the largest, plants
of it's kind in the United States The
company has more than 1000 acres
devoted to the raising of pure-bred
Acala cotton seed.
The accomplishments of the Acala
Cotton Seed company and the vision
obtained in the cotton STANDARDIZED
ton movement in the county prompt
ed the organizing of the new corpora
ton, according to Mr.. Hutson.

company will be operated on the
same principles and in the same
manner as the Acala Cotton Seed
company is operated, is was an
nounced today. Hundreds of acres
of Grady county farm lands will be

cultivated under the direction of the
company. The company will not buy
nor lease the land, but will contract

employ specialist to direct the cul-
tivation. By this means, farmers
of the county will derive direct ben.
efits from the establishment of the
new industry here.
