C., NOVEMBER 14, 1912 tstapusnea 1011- v uiuc '&A WOULD CLASSIFY LANN COTTON Columb~ Stat, Anothteort is being made to classify the upland cotton in a satisfactory way by the de partment of agriculture at Washington. All dealers and users of cotton know that a spe cial value attaches to cotton grown in north Georgia and the Piedmont section of North and South Carolina. The staple is stronger, and the color more satisfactory, and in every way this cotton is more valuable to the manufacturer than the cot ton grown in some other sec tions. Heretofore it has not re ceived the additional value that its quality is entitled to. X ery little of it is exported, most of it being taken up by American mills. The following Washington dispatch explains the situation more in detail: Wingate P. Barbot, a member of the classification committee of the New York cotton ex change and its chief expert in grading and inspecting cotton warehoused there, has returned to New York after working for several days in the offices of the department of agriculture in preparing a set of samples of raw cotton that will include the staple produced in theCarolinas, Georgia and Alabama. At present the nine government grades apply only to "gulf" cot ton which holds a premium over the upland variety. While these official samples now in the keeping of the de partment of agriculture may fairly represent the classes of cotton sold chiefly in the New Orleans cotton market, it is al leged by mencis of the New k-. -rhange that these sam ples do not correctly represent all the cotton grown in the South, and that in preparing them, no attention was paid to that grown in the Atlantic Coast States. Mr. Barbot had not completed his task when he left this city and is expected to return next week. He has classified the higher grades, but has not yet prepared samples of tinged, stained and otherwise damaged cotton which is of spinnable quality and in good commercial demand. The officials of the department will submit the samples selected by Mr. Barbot to other experts-and will en deavor to get those interested to come to some agreement. When asked regarding Bar ~'1iot's nmission 'in Washington, Dr. B, T. Galloway, chief of the bureau of plant industry, de partment of agriculture, said: "Negotiations for a revision of the United States standard cotton grades to include separ ate grades for upland cotton have not progressed even to the point of a detailed scientific in vestigation of types. Since the passage of the law four years ago authorizing the department to establish nine standard grades complaints have been received T The Trad During the rest will sell you Shot and Groceries cl can get them a Pickens County.

ALONZO B] i from time to time that these grades, while including some upland, are not always truly typical of upland. "The complaints culminated in the recent request of the pres idnt of the New York cotton exchange and some other ex changes in a request for a re vision. Secretary Wilson re ferred the matter to the bureau of plant industry, which pre pared the data on which the original grades were established. In fixing the grades, we em ployed outside experts. Now, however, the bureau is equipped with its own qualified experts, and anything we do will be based on their findings, but we have not set them to work yet. I can only say that the subject is a matter of inquiry and that a determination will be reached in a few weeks." I Dr. Galloway said that Mr. Barbot was engaged in assisting the department's own experts. It is hoped that Pickens coun ty farmers will have samples ready when called upon. Marrietta Dots.
