showed the increase in ends down

“Over the past 10 or more year*,’’ j
Mr. Delany said, "there has occur
red a serious degradation in the cot-1
ton delivered to the mills. People in
the textile industry began to ask
questions as to why they were hav

several tests on cotton quality and
the effect of ginning on manufac

“In every case where k controlled

do to upgrade it, the best-results
and the lowest manufacturing costs
came from the bales having a min

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.
