ment Of AgrieultureJ
An effort to bring the great ecOnO-
mic Importance. of cotton grading to
the attention of growers of the fiber,
and to make it possible for them to IA
miliariZe themselves with grading pro-
cedure. is being made by the office of
markets and rural organization of
the L. :, department of agriculture
through the placing of sets of practi-
cal forms of the official cotton stand
of county agents in the cotton produc-
ing regions. Heretofore, sets of the
cotton standards have been furnished
chiefly to cotton exchanges where they
are used in the larger marketing opera
tons. The use of the standards in in
dividual marketing by farmers is of
marked economic advantage. however,
and the present step is being taken
( by the department in the hope of eX-
J tending this practice. To secure the
| forms. county agents must give salts
/ factory assurances that they will keep
/ the sets IN place accessible TO COTTON
/ growers, in the care of Il competent
custodian who does not profit directly
/ from trading in cotton.
More than sixty sets of the practical
forms of the standards already have
been shipped to county agents. 1t is
I expected that more than 100 will soon
/ be placed in this way. Each set of the
practical forms consists of the nine
grades of white cotton. The sets re-
main the property of the United States
government. ~.
In arranging for the keeping of the
standards in the counties the Office OF
