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

-"
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
