REDUCING COTTON LOSSES DUE
TO IMPROPER GINNING

lessening of he great loss which occurs
in the America cotton industry from
the time the seed cotton is sucked into
the gin until the baled lint is delivered
at the mill, say specialists of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, planters must come to realize
that large proportion of this loss
falls on them directly. or indirectly,
and that they must cooperate actively
to eliminate it. The loss so far as the
fiber is concerned results chiefly from
lmpropore ginning which Injuries the
lint, and the inadequate pressure and
covering of the bale. By concerted
action it is pointed out farmers should
be ap!e to secure better methods of
ginning and better handling of their
cotton being enabled as q result, to
market their crops to better advant-
age. The part of which the mechanical
treatment of cotton plays in the sal
ability of the lint is discussed in new
publication of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, Farmers
