The superiority of cotton bagging
as compared with jute as a covering
for American cotton bales has been
demonstrated from a physical stand
point by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture in test ship
ments of cotton to Germany and re
turn to the United States.
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.

Summarizing the results of the
study, the department says:
“Cotton bagging may be manufac
tured from the lowest grades and
staple lengths of cottons produced
in the United States, and can be
manufactured from high-grade
waste.
“Cotton bagging, as manufactured
at present, makes a very suitable
covering for cotton bales. 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

”/ used only 400 lbs. of 'AA QUALITY’ Fertilizer
per acre without top dressing or soda and I have
beep informed by those who are acquainted with the
cotton eiluatiaei this season that it is probably the
best crop in the State, the yield being around 1 V%
bales per acre. This is by far the. best crop / have
ever grown and I have been farming for around 30
years. I think this is a very fine recommendation
for ’AA QUALITY’ Fertilizers. I believe your for

Carolina.”—Sept. 23, 1927.
40% MORE COTTON . . . Mr. J. R. Lu*k of
Honea Path, Anderson Co., S. C., •ay*: "This year
/ ran out of ’AA QUALITY’ Fertilizers before 1
was through preparing my cotton land and when
1 went back to get more, my dealer not having them
in stock, supplied me with another make. The re
sult is that one can see to the very row where the
other goods were applied. 1 am getting around
40% more cotton where the ’AA QUALITY’ goods
Were used.”—Sept. 9, 1927.

Greer, Greenville County, S. C., says: "I have used
’AA QUALITY’ Fertilizers now for around 5 years
and l am very much ‘ pleased with the results ob

this year will make around one bale per acre, despite
the unfavorable weather. I can highly recommend

jute was strong. 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.”

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.
Five hundred mciv u v. ere a V.-
ed to this figure on December 1, and
on January 5 after factory officials
saw the measure of enthusiasm the
new car was commanding, 100,000
