V. Phagan, extension agricultural mgineer, exj^ining that for the six- year period 1933-38, the state had 14 per cent of its total cotton pro duction classified as rough ginned, according to the Bureau of Agrictd- tural Economics, U. S. Department of Agirculture. - “Fourteen percent is one bale put ot every seven,*’ Mr Fhagan con tinues. “With a normal production 100,000 bales are classified as rough ginned each year. Wh«i cotton is^ sold on a quality basis the penalty for rough ginned varies from $1.50 to $10 per bale. With an average I)enalty of $5.00 per bale,', this ampunts to one-half million dollars a year.” To reduce the high percentage of rough-giimed cotton and thus result in a saving to farmers of the state, the specialist urges that there should be a united effort on ^ the part of farmers, ginners, and cotton buyers. “South Carolina had made remark able progress in the improvemrat PEOPLE YOU KNOW Mrs. J.
