IJA)\V A Hr.tJINNFIt i AN LEAHN COTTON CLASSING. Take Fair Samples MMl Compare CnVcfully \%Kit Standards, Which Miiai Ho vVcll Protected. i Washington, Oct. 18.?Claaalng cot?) ion is an expert's Job when it covers nil the grades and quantise, but grow? ers can learn to know whether they are receiving fair prices for their cot? ton by studying the three principal grades LOW middling, middling, and good mtddlins and comparing sam? ples of their <>\vu cotton with sets of the official cotton standards prepar? ed by the United States Department of Agriculture, In a recont bulletin of the Department of Agriculture "The Classification of American Upland Cotton," which gives the various classifications ot* cotton, the writers toll how a grower, as well as the ex- j pert classer, may use the official stair- j dnrds in making determinations o? cotton values. For beginners it is easier to match cotton against these standards i: types of tlie cotton to be graded art placed for the time I cing in a bo." similar to the- 1 ox containing Stand aids. The cotton to le c lassed then may be matched by comparing the samples with the different standard types until tlie class ;> determined. This method gives a greater surface for comparison and also practically the same light on each box. Differ once in light causes the same cotton j to appear different at times. Clans eis often disagree as to tin- grade o;* class of a sample even aft- r refer? ence has been made to the Btandardc The official cotton standards of Ihc l nlted Btates wore prepared to rep? resent the (carious grade or class characteristics of cotton grown throughout the cotton belt. In mak? ing copies of these standards for sale cotton has been selected from ahn ? I every cotton-growing state. Bach grade box contains twelve sampl s, s aa to indicate the range of diversity lllOWCd Within the grade; for e>C ntple, there may be om type of low middling that i^ of a reddish coal with bright leaf, and another that hai a grayish or bluish cast with blackish !eaf; In oim ample the leaf may be hi large pieces, while In another it maj be broken Up In small pice s Unov.n ] a? "pin leaf." The sinie condition is true to some extent w it Ii Iii the grade boxes of each of the nine ofll ,eial grades, the diversity being i< ? marked above middling than below. Still more latitude has been allowed in the prepoartion of the standards tor color. For instance, in tile sane tysg, a middling yellow tinged type from Oklahoma may have a reddish or pinkish cast, while a middling yellow tinged type from Georgia or Alabama may have 0 duller or gray sh cast. I The cotton classer in continually uncountorlng hales that, wdll pas.: for i certain grade or class ol CO! ton al hough they do not resemble Identi? cally any particular type In the stand ard. In reality, no two bales of cot ton are exactly alike. Man;, sample must he assigned to a cm tain grade according to their valuation on th standard. A skylight is considered more de? sirable for viewing cotton than a side light. However, when it is no' feasible to add a skylight, several largo windows may be placed i tide bj side preferably in the wall facing north. The table for holding th grade boxes should have a top In? clined toward the light at an angle of approximately thirty degrees in a i ' room Wher a skylight is used, a: about 40 degrees where the side light if used. In sampling a I ale of cotton fOl !claming, about three ounces should be diawn from each Bide Of the bah-. When samples are drawn from a bale of compressed cotton they Bhould b< \posed to the air before grading m thai the matted condition and dead 1 eed color may disappear. Classer: : re liberal in grading compressed cot ton because tl>t> leaf : ml dirt are more condensed ami becomes more con? spicuous than in uncompressed cot I'm. therefore an allowance of a bor: grade should be male when class Ing compressed cotton Immediately tier- sampling. Samples from bales should be rnwn in smooth sheet: and prefer abiy when the hale is dry. The s.m; pie being classed should be Uilfoldc . three or four times and examined, a'.nce the leaf ami dill are not al ways evenly distributed. The mi ' cimeKs is due largely to the 1m that the cotton in anv sah sampl < ime from different ports of the Hoi : id was perhaps picked by a numbe f persons. The dijfarcnl pi kl . nde fron lime ne are oftei ;orcd together and this may give i insldernble variation, especially unng the latter part of the seas in .'.any loads of cotton originating In different sections are sometimes mi\ ? a in one large bin before glnnlnti 1 his practn o causes mixed grail al Qualities of cot I on . Many bales have on one side a thin "plate" Ibai Is Ol B hi .her Ol lower grade than the re t ol tic. ? -" bale. Plating is ustialy caused by o "roll" beJng left In the "breast" of the gin from cotton of a different lot previously ginned. A sample from such a bale should be drawn from a sufficient depth to he fairly represen? tative of the hale. Plated hales h v no doubt caused great loss to the producers, as cotton is classed on tin* hnsis of the low si<le or pooresl (luallty of fiber in the hale. it is Important to protect the cop? ies of the official standards from light and <iusi. Only the surface of the cotton shows the grade, ami ex? posure to light ami dust will in il short time so change the appearance of the surface that it does not ac? tually represent tho grade or class us certified. When i ra< tlcal forms of the standards are in u?c thoy will maln true copies, of tho official stand? ards scarcely more than one season. Color may evf-n he destroyed within a few days if the practical forms are U ft ( i posed to light. U HUMAN HAIDER? A'.UtOAD. Attach Coiivo in North Be* Sinking British Dotroycr.
