People in the textile industry began to ask questions as to why they were hav ing difficulties. At Joanna we ran several tests on cotton quality and the effect of ginning on manufac turing costs. “In every case where k controlled lot of cotton was checked against one having had the dubious ben efits of everything the giimer could do to upgrade it, the best-results and the lowest manufacturing costs came from the bales having a min imum of gin treatment." In the test undertaken with the USDA, 48 bales of machine picked cotton from Tulare County, Califor nia. were split into four lots of 12 bales each. Twenty-four bales were ginned under low and high heat on a moderate overhead cleaning sys tem, and the other 24 bales were ginned under high at*! low heat conditions on an elaborate overhead cleaning system. Mr. Delany’s charts showed a big increase in manufacturing costs on cotton that had been subjected to high heat and elaborate cleaning systems.
