Growers And Ginners
Need To Cooperate
For High Grade Lint
Clemson. August 22.—Unfavor-
ible weather during last shear’s
harvesting season lowered' the
grade of much of the record 1937
orop. Wet weather again this year
would increase the responsibilities
of both growers and ginners in
producing lint with the qualities
most in demand by domestic and
’oreign mills, says C. V. Phagan,
extension agricultural engineer.
Even modem driers, cleaners, and
oxtractors have their limitations.
Tinners cannot fully offset *fail-
ire to pick and handle cotton so
as to deliver it to the gin dry and
free of leaves and other trash.
Though mechanical drying of
cotton at gins is relatively new.
a good many ginners have already
added driers to their equipment.
This is one of the several develop
ments from experimental ginning
work at the ginning laboratory of
the United States Department of
Agriculture at Stoneville, Missis
sippi.
Some cotton merchants and
spinners have complained of over-
dried or “baked” staple. Phagan
points out that drying tempera
tures ordinarily should range from
150 to 160 degrees Fahrenheit,
except for very wet cotton when
they may go up to—but not over
—200 degrees. These temperatures
do not over-dry or “bake” the
cotton.
