A 1966 China Reconstructs article about the "Nine-Girl Cotton-Growing Group" of Yungtai cooperative in Wukung county, Shensi province. Formed in 1957, the teenage girls ran an experimental cotton plot, overcoming social prejudice, insecticide damage and hail through manuring, transplanting and scientific experiment. The article reports their yields of over 200 jin of ginned cotton per mu and how the group inspired 1,400 girls' cotton-growing groups in the county. It contains two black-and-white photographs and no weaving content.
