ONE-VARIETY COMMUNITIES LIKE STONEVILLE 2-B 
Typical of the many small-acreage farm operations 
which plant STONEVILLE 2-B Cottonseed is the 
Cedar Hill Community in Limestone County, Ala- 
bama. In 1952, this community, made up of 23 
families, won the first prize of $2,000.00 in the 
Alabama Community Cotton Improvement Contest. 
The Cedar Hill group averaged a yield of 528.5 lbs. 
of STONEVILLE 2-B lint per acre. It is important 
to note that this high yield was made during the 
most severe drought in many years. 
Cedar Hill Community has planted STONE- 
VILLE 2-B every year since 1950. Refer to chart 
below to see what strides have been made since 
switching to STONEVILLE 2-B. Note that the

Read these statements from a letter written by 
Leonard Smith, president of Cedar Hill Commu- 
nity Club: 
“As you know, we began our cotton improvement 
program in 1949. In studying experimental results 
and talking to people who grow good cotton we find 
that the records show that Stoneville 2-B cotton was 
the most consistent variety year in and year out 
that has been grown in Alabama for some time. We 
needed a variety that would be consistent to meet 
the varying weather conditions that we have to nlant 
under here in Alabama. Therefore, we chose Stone- 
ville 2-B, one of the leading varieties in Alabama. 
... “All members of our community are very 
proud of our Stoneville 2-B cotton and our plans are 
to use this cotton continuously, taking advantage of 
your improved breeder seed each year. 
...- We heartily recommend your Stoneville 2-B 
to any community that is interested in good cotton.”
