Is sampled, may compare his pro-
duet with the standard.
No man can market a crop sue
eessfuily when he has but a
vague idea about It's quality. Ed
ucation and education alone will
change the order of things. The
cotton planter, who is by the law
of sequence a marketer, can af
ford to pay TO learn cotton grad
ing, and tins applies 10 the
small gorwer AZ well as 10 the
large. The Increased profits re-
sulting from the sale of only a
few bales will pay many times
for the cost of such a course.
Some of the cotton states are do
ing all they can 10 educate their
producers in marketing. II is
high time that opportunity was
given the growers in all OF the
states TO secure like information.
What are the recognized
grades and half grades of cotton
and how can the grower classify
his own products
There are seven full grades OF
cotton generally recognized. Be
ginning with the best, these
grades are: J, Fair; 2, Middling
Fair; 3, Good Middling; 1, Mid
ding; 3, Low Middling; 6, Good
Ordinary; 7, Ordinary. Between
.he full grades are the half grades
designated by prefixing the
word "Stmct to the next lower
grade, thus: |, Strict Middling
Fair, 2, Strict Good Middling; 3.
Strict Middling; 4, Strict Low
Middling; 5, Strict Good Ordi-

Middling cotton is taken ~ a
basis and is assigned in scoring
a value Of -. The other six full
grades and six half grades are
given values in accordance with
this value of II for middling.
Fair cotton is given value of

defects. Strict middling fair has

value OF 2. And 80 on until the

TO ask, Is my cotton no bett =

Ignorance, careleSsness or ut,
ter failure by the producer TO
grade his cotton properly is the
heaviest source of loss in mark
eting. On the other hand, ,he
ignorance of many small buyers
or ginners, who know very little
more about quality than the farm
ers, amounts to nothing less than
a crime - a crime of rObbing
themselves and the original pro
ducers of earned and deserved
profits. This buyer is the honest
but ignorant type, in contrast TO
that other undesirable who is E.
ten found-the INSCRIPTIONS and
avaricious man who, having some
knowledge of quality in cotton,
knowingly cheats the helpless
grower by paying him the price
that several grades lower would
demand.
The cotton grower who does
not understand the comparatively
simple question Of cotton grad
ing is absolutely at the mercy of
the inexperienced or conscience
less buyer--a blind gambler in
the market, without definite con
eepton of the revenue he should
receive for his crop. Not even
by an inexperienced buyers mii-
take can he profit, for such a
buyer is always hydrocarbons and
is Inclined to beat down the price
regardless of grades, to a point
where he cannot lose. Nor can
competition always be relied upon
as II safeguard, for in many con-
munities the price paid by the
different buyers are practically
the same.
The cotton buyer cannot be ex-
pected to slip an ace up the sell
ler's sleeve. Many buyers are
not real cotton classers; their
trade is the result primarily of
nerve, coupled with a little ex-
perience. Therefore no grower
can hope TO market his crop
most successfully when the desig-
nation of the quality of his cot
ton rests with the buyer and the
buyer alone.
Several plans, short of an ac.
tual study of cotton qualities
and prices, have been proposed
for overcoming this very unsatis-
factory conditions in cotton mark
citing. One of the fastest sug-
gcstions is TO place set of the
official cotton grades. " as pre-
