W. Hamilton, assistant to the director of the South Carolina Extension Service. Artifical drying apparatus at the laboratory improves the quality of green, damp, or wet cotton, and other devices clean “trashy” cot ton, says Mr. Hamilton. The bene ficial effects from loose seed roll 'inning and the use of gin saws and brushes in good condition are also being demonstrated. The average value of lint ginned rom green, damp, or wet cotton las been increased from 70 cents, ?or a group of short staple cottons, bo $2.50 per bale for a group of long itaple cottons, by artifically drying ,hem and improving the resulting Trade. Lint quality differences in favor ->f cleaning a number of cottons picked in trash condition have >een enough to cause bale value benefits of $1, in many instances. Lint quality damages from tight seed roll, as compared with loose seed roll ginning, were sufficient bo cause average bale value losses anging from 60 cents for a group of dry cottons of short staple engths to $4.50 for a group of green, damp, or wet cottons of long staple length. Use of badly worn saws, it was found, may cut the value of a bale of short staple cotton $1 a bale, or long staple $2 a bale. -i
