OFFICIAL
STANDARDS
FOR GROWERS
OFFICE OF MARKETS AND RURAL
ORGANIZATION LoANlNo COT
TON STANDARDS TO COUNTY
AGENTS.

Washington, Oct Ito assist In
bringing about more extensive use
Of the official cotton standards OF the
United States by growers In their
sales, the office of markets and rural
organization of the U. s. department
of agriculture is cooperating with
| the states relations service of the de-
partment in placing in the hands Of
county agents in the cotton produc-
ing sections sets OF practical forms
Of the standards. The forms are fur
nished only after the agents have
given satisfactory assurances that
they will be kept in a place acces-
sble to cotton growers, in the care
Of competent custodian who does not
profit directly from trading in cot
ton.
More than GO sets of the practical
forms OF the standards already have
been shipped to county agents. 1t
Is expected that more than 100 will
soon be placed in this way. Each set
OF the practical forms consists OF the
0 grades OF white cotton. The sets
remain the property of the United
States government.
In arranging for the keeping of the
standards in the counties the office of
markets and rural organization has
approved such agencies as banks,
chambers OF commerce, boards OF
trade, stores whose proprietors do
not trade in cotton, etc.
The official cotton standards OF the
United States are used by practically
every important spot market and ex-
change in the south, ana 1t is the de
sire of the cotton specialists of the
department of agriculture that the
sales and purchases Of cotton from
the time it leaves the farmers hands
until II reaches these larger markets
also shall be conducted on the basis
of the standards. 1t is believed that
the presence Of a set of the practical
forms in each county, where farmers
may examine and become familiar
with them, will be a valuable educa-
tive force in grading and will tend
to bring about the substitution Of
methods of more exact Classification
in place of the approximations to
grades now often employed in gin,
street and warehouse sales.
with the forms OF the standards in
easy reach for examination and com
parlson and the published reports of
grade prices in the nearest important
spot market available through daily
papers, it should be possible for
growers to arrive at a reasonably
close valuation of given grade OF
cotton. It Is expected that some coun-
ty agents will figure the local valua
tions from day to day Tor the differ
cnt grades, taking into consideration
the cost of handling cotton to the
NEARBY spot market, ana will bulletin
the figures. The office of markets
