Four weights- of cotton bagging designed by technologists in the Div ision of Cotton Marketing and woven in the co-operjative testing labora-1 tories at Clemson College, South Carolina., and North Carolina State College were used in the tests. The lightest weight' cotton bagg : ng com pared very favorably with jute. A representative of the department re ported from- Hamburg that “the bales covered with cotton bagging » were much neater and in better con dition generally than those covered with jute bagging.” Breaking strength tests were also made of the cotton bagging, and these tests together with the ship ping test indicate, says the depart ment in a report on the experiments, that “from the v ewpeint of dura bility. protection to the cotton, and neatness, cotton bagging is a more suitable covering for the American cotton l>ale than is jute ” After the return of the cotton- covered bales'which were shipped to Germany, more than 400 pounds of the cotton bagging was stripped from the bales and garnetted, ttf; de termine the ’ approximate refuse value of such bagging. The value assigned to this' garnetted cotton bagging waste by a large waste con cern on January 26, 1928, was 10 to 12 cents per pound. The report states that fiber salvaged from used cot ton bagging mqy be reused, either alone or when mixed with other low- grade cottons, in'the manufacture of cotton bagging, osnaburg or other coarse fabrics or articles usually made of low-grade cotton and waste.

It is rea sonable' to suppose that a better method of spinning yarns and weav ing the cotton bagging fabric may be developed by experimentation and the cost of production consequently lowered. “Ordinarily, cotton bagging costs more than jute bagging, but in 1926 it was cheaper because the demand for cotton was weak and that for Sensational J3chievement in Beauty and Performance Reduced Prices!

Adoption of cot ton bagging would probably force the pries of jute to unusually low levels. Decided economies in trans portation and insurance costs would also result” from the use of a lighter weight bagging. “A strong, light-weight cotton bagging of standard construction and lyeight would tend to obviate the disagreeable and costly practice of challenging and taring American cotton in spinners’ markets at home and abroad. “Cotton lint does not adhere to cotton bagging so tenaciously as it does to jute bagging. The lightest weight of cottpn bagging thus far tested is superior to 2-pound jute bagging and to the burlap covering commonly used on the Egyptian bale?., which has the reputation of be ing the most attractive covering now entering the world’s markets. “The use of cotton bagging for cotton appears to depend upon the manufacture of a light-weight cotton bagging which can be sold in com petition with jute bagging, and upon the sale of cotton on the basis of its net weight i n the markets of the world, including local markets to ob viate the losses wh'ch would result from the use of a light-weight bag ging when settlements are made on the basis of gross weights.” X Chevrolet Breaks Record In January DETROIT Mich., Feb. 21.—All previous January production records were shattered here last month by the Chevrolet Motor Company when the total output for the thirty-day period reached 91,584 units, W. S. Knudsen, president and general manager, announced today. < This figure topped by nearly 20,- 000 units the 73,676 cars and trucks produced in January, 1927, and more than doubled the outlet for the cor responding month in 1926 when only 46,437 units were manufactured. As a result of this tremendous volumq. production in January was exceeded by that of only four other months in the entire history of the company. Every indication points to new Chevrolet records in the com ing months of 1928, Mr. Knudsen said. The tentative production schedule for February is 112,475 units, as against 885,000 units last February, while actual product'on for the month this year is ceitain to exceed the tentatfve schedule by a comfort able margin, Mr. Knudsen said. Ten tative plans for March call for the building of mote than 127,000 units, which will establish a new all-time monthly record for the manufacture of gear shift cars accoiding to Mr. Knudsen. This huge volume has been made possible by the enormous sales gains reg'stered since the Introduction of the “Bigger and Better” Chevrolet on January 1. R. H. Grant, vice- president of the company in charge of sales, stated that more than 125,- 000 units were sold for immediate delivery at retail in the United States to date. Another high record was set dur ing the Chicago Automobile Show, ended February 4, when more Chev- rolets were sold during show week than any other ;make of car at this or any other automobile show. Chevrolet officials were unan m- ous in the op’nion that the company’s performance last year, when it'built and sold a million units to become the world’s largest automobile man ufacturer, would be substantially ex panded this year. “I am just as confident of selling a million cars this year as if I had them sold right novb” Mr. Giant sa : d at a recent dealer meeting. To achieve this record volume the seven great assembly plants strung across the Continent are on peak production schedules in answer to calls from the 45 Chevrolet zone headquarters for ample cars to as sure prompt delivery to the public. Another assembly plant, with a pro duction capacity of 350 cars a day, Will get into full swing within a few weeks at Atlanta, Ga., to augment the facilities of the other factories now running to capacity. A measure of how enthusiastically the new car was received by the pub lic is shown by the fact that the January production schedule l—.d to bs stepped up on six differ t oc casions to keep the manufn-.uring volume on an even basis wit’’ mpid- ly piling up orders. The fl t ten tative figure for the month v s set on November 17, and called for the building of 72,058 units.
