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.
