cause of rough-ginned cotton, says
C. 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.
