MISGRADING CAUSES
HEAVY LOSSES IN COTTON

Clemson College, S. c., Dec. s.
In a report to the Secretary Of Agri-
culture, made public recently, the
Office Of Market and Rural Organl-
cation stated that the losses to cot
ton growers in the United States
probably reached S7,50o,00o IN
1913-1914 because grades were not
properly taken into account in the
primary sales, and that in spite OF
q tendency toward improved condl-
ticns since the promulgation Of the
Official cotton standards OF the
United tSates the losses due to in
accurate grading are still great.
The growers are urged to familiar
ize themselves with grades and to

former. The higher grade of cotton
thus sold for 20 cents less per bale
than that Of the lower grade. When

ence it was actually with $3.50

Investigation showed that for the
same grade the prices paid were on
the whole considerably greater IN
the eastern States than in those west
