Department of Agriculture, it is not possible to produce from roughly harvested 'seed cotton lint equal in quality "to lint from carefully picked cotton. Therefore, a farmer should see that all his cotton is picked as carefully as possible. Cotton farmers can promote good ginning by furnishing the ginner with cotton in good ginning con dition. They can also demand that the ginner employ those gin ning methods that will best pre serve lint quality. Such action should make it possible to obtain a higher price in the local market, i and, combined with co-operative efforts, to promote a greater utili zation of cotton through new uses ' and an extension of present uses. Tests conducted by workers of the United States Department of Agriculture show that excessive moisture in seed cotton markedly reduces the quality of the lint and makes it difficult to sell without the severe penalties that sometimes amount to 25 per cent of the pos sible value of the bale. If the cot ton is too moist because of green ness or exposure to rain or dew, in clear weather it may be spread on sacks, tarpaulins, racks, or galler ies and exposed to the sun. Care must be taken to keep it from get ting wet again. • j The period of exposure to the sun necessary to insure improved ginning depends on the moisture content of the cotton, the depth of the layers, the temperature and relative humidity of the atmos phere, the number of times the cot ton is turned or aired, the staple length of the cotton, and other factors. The cotton should be ex- 666 checks MALARIA in 3 days COLDS first day. Liquid - Tablets »ivrw Salve - Nose TONIC AND Drops LAXATIVE posed in layers from about 4 to 8 inches in depth to obtain effective sun-drying by any method. If the cotton is very green or wet it should be exposed from 15 to 20 hours. If it is only slightly green, damp, or dew-laden, drying for 7 to 15 hours is usually enough. Except when placed in screen-bottomed trays, the cotton should be turned or air ed occasionally during exposure to insure the uniform drying of all locks. These periods of exposure may be somewhat less for short- staple than for long-staple cotton, because from a ginning standpoint a moisture content that is excessive for long cotton is not necessarily so for short cotton. It is a, bad practice to place green, damp, or wet cotton with dey cotton in a wagon and take it to the gin immediately. The side of the bale containing the cotton with excessive moisture will be lower in quality than the side ginned from the drier cotton, and the value of the bale will be determined on the basis of its low-quality side. Where rains occur frequently during the cotton-picking season, as in the eastern part of the Cot ton Belt, it is especially important that cotton be picked as soon as practicable after the bolls open. Cotton left in the field and ex posed to such weather is discolor ed, is contaminated with soil, and is soil-stained, all of which lower the* grade and character; if it Is damp, it should be dried before being; ginned.
