Proper Ginning
Will Raise Values
Of Baled Cotton
Clemson, July 31.—How the value
of cotton can be increased as mash
as $4.50 a bale has been demon
strated in tests at the experimental
ginning laboratory of the United
States Department of Agriculture,
at Stoneville, Miss., according to
reports received by R. 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.
