'quate and conislatently to recognize
grade dhifferen~ceft was found.
The sp~ecialsts point out that cotton
producers themselves can have a large
share In improving these conditions.
~The growers are urged to famIliarize
themselves wilth grades andl to insist
that the proper classification he given
their bales by buyers. Em~hphasis is
also placed on the economic import
once of securing proper ginning, ado
quote ibalin~g and coverIng, and proper
storage.
Great Variations Found.
The surveys conducted by the spe
ctalistsq sho0wed great and( Iiconsiatent
variations ini prices paid( for' cottonl of
dlffer(ent gradeh(s. Trhe average of prices
on observed I tasations~ In AIlbamaI
for one month, for example, was 13.51
cents for str'ict good orinaI~ry and( 13.47
cents for strict good middlinig, tho lat
ter being six grades helter than11 the
former. Thle higher gr'ade of cotton
thus soldl 'for 20 cents less per b)ale
than that of tile lower grade, wvhen on
the basis5 of New Orleans differences,
it was actually worth $7.50 per bole
muore. The inconaslstenlcies and( (lifter
