The Grading Of Cotton

Washington. - That losses to
cotton growers in the United
States probably reached 800,
90 in 1914 because grades were
not properly taken into account
in the primary sales, and that in
spite of a tendency toward i'm
proved conditions since the pro-
mitigation of the official cotton
standards of the U. S. the losses
due to inaccurate grading are
still great, are statements OF
specialists of the Office of mark
cts and rural organizations of the
United States Department of Ag-
riculture in bulletin No. 456,
recently published. The bulletin
is based on a field survey of cot
ton murketing in representative
towns m the nine principal cot
ton producing states of the south
and southwest, in all of which a
general failure adequately and
consistently to recognize grade
differences was found.
The specialists point out that
cotton producers themselves can
have a large share in improving
these conditions. The growers
are urged to familiarize them
selves with grades and to insist
that the proper classification be
given their bales by buyers. En-
phasis is also placed on the eco
nomic Importance of securing
proper ginning, adequate baling
and covering and proper storage.
The surveys conducted by the
specialists showed great and in
consistent variations in prices
paid for cotton of different
grades. The average of prices on
observed transaction in Alabama
for one month, for example, was
13.51e for strict good ordinary
and 13.47e for strict good mid
ding, the latter being six grades
better than the former. The
higher grade of cotton thus sold
for zoe per bale less than that
of the lower grade, when on the
basis of New Orleans differences
it was actually worth $3.50 per
bale more. The inconsistencies
and differences were especially
apparent among the hig h e r
grades above middling. This, the

specialists feel, is most unfortu-
nate, since it shows a failure to
recognize the value of improve
ment of cotton varieties by grow
ers and in effect puts premium
on careless and Indifferent farm
ing.
Marked differences in prices
paid for cotton of the same grade
in the same markets on the same
day also were disclosed by the
survey. Thus middling cotton of
/ Lie inch staple in a certain
market brought 13e pound,
while middling of l 1-8 inch
staple at the same place and on
the same day brought only 10.05e
The latter cotton should have
brought one-half cent more than
that of the shorter staple bale.
Therefore, if the l 1-16 inch bale
brought its true value, the other
bale sold for at least $3.50 below
its real value. While all varia-
tons observed were not as great
as this. wide differences were
found in numerous instances in
every state where Investigations
were conducted.
Inconsistencies in valuation of
tinged and stained cotton also
were observed, the differences
made in some cases between two
bales of the same grade on the
same market being greater than
the amount paid for the cheaper
bale.
The survey showed that for
the same grades the prices paid
were, on the whole, considerably
greater in the eastern cotton
states than in those west of the
Missippi. These differences, ac-
cording to the specialists, were
much greater than differences in
freight rates to mills alone would
account for.
The other factors in favor of
the east are believed to have
been the direct purchase by mill
buyers, the existence of good
storage facilities, the availability
of relatively cheap money and
the more general knowledge of
grading among farmers due to
longer establishment of cotton
growing.
The investigators found that
the producer received an appre-
cable advantage in prices when
he was able to make round
lot" sales of ten or more bales
of cotton at time. Iii suggest
ed that still greater advantages
can be secured by selling where
possible in lots of bales of same
grade.

hundred pounds.
