Surveys Indicate Improved Cotton Crop SURVEYS POINT WAY TO IM PROVED COTTON CROP Given a true picture of the kind of j cotton it was growing, South Caro lina, in 1928, started a systematic campaign to increase it3 output to longer-fiber cotton. The success of the campaign is shown by the drop in tho production of excessively short-fiber cotton from 11.2 percent of the 1929 crop. Aside from the actual dollars and cents value of this imp:ovement of the general attitude toward its cotton. I For generations preceding the I World War, American cotton had an I enviable reputation in world markets. I The decade which followed the war, however, saw some of this prestige | lost. With high prices for all cotton ! and the problem of making crops in competition with the bollweevil, the main consideration was to make cof 1 ton ? not necessarily to make it good. The planting of varieties of inferior staple increased greatly because they matured early. The decline in staple quality of American cotton which followed became the subject of com mon discussion among cotton people at home and abroad. By 1927 th>; situation had become so serious that Congress directed the United States Department of Agriculture to set up machinery for assembling thoroughly and systematically facts on tho grade and staple of the crop. With the aid of thj^State Agricultural experiment stat>mis, the cooperation of a great number of gins, representing produc tion over the entire cotton belt, was obtained. The early results of the work dis closed the presence. of enough cotton of inferior staple to cause concern, but they also revealed the places where efforts for improvement could be concentrated for best results. Planters in areas that were raising excessively short fiber cotton have followed the plans suggested by Federal and State specialists- to raise the State's average, largely through plantingj2jire_?eed of select ed varieties, r The correlated results of tha surveys have started tfie way to better cotton and mirrored the pro gress made in each section. Figures thus obtained say that cotton has gained about one thirty-second inch in fiber length for tTfe country as a whole and one sixteenth inch in South Carolina. HENRY D. GREEN, Co.
