A 1965 article from China Reconstructs by Huang Chien-ying, a Party secretary of Tzuhsi county, Chekiang province, on how the county raised cotton yields per mu after years of record harvests. It describes the communes' response to complacency, rush sowing in rainy weather, replanting after cold and rain, pumping water during a 50-day drought, and extra care at harvest. It presents these efforts as the application of Mao Tse-tung's writings. Two photographs show cotton picking and seed selection.
