MYSTERY X was a deep mystery to the hundreds attending 4th of July Fun Day at Lydia Mills and it finally turned out to be none other than Mrs. E. C. Burdette, above. Cut ton liny in Li . . . (Cont'd, from Page A) solute minimum all variables which cause non-uniformity. It is natural to assume that the first place in the mill to stiive for uniformity is the raw cotton itself on the opening room floor. We devote our research and testing to this end and our cotton classing department devotes its energies 100 per cent toward keeping our cotton mixes as uniform as possible. Opening Rooms have in the past been the most neglected departments in a mill. However, today mill management recognizes this department as one of the most important departments in the mill organization. The large expenditures for Blending Hoppers put forth by Clinton-Lydia and many mills now is living proof that this once neglected phase of the processing is now getting the attention it deserves. By now it should be evident to the reader that cotton is not just cotton, but that the procuring of the right cotton to run these mills is an art and science all in a class alone. To a degree, the ulti mate fabric strength, looms stops, spinning ends down, etc., are determined by the cotton put down on the Opening Room floor and the uniformity of its mixing. J. D.
