BETTER FARMING
0-O-O-O-O-O-O-O--O-O
FARMER LOST $351o ON
FIVE BALES OF COTTON
G. MOsER, Editor.

That nothing IS saved by holding
cotton for better market If it Is not
properly stored is quite strikingly IL
Illustrated by exact figures ootainea
from a farmer in Mississippi county
bv f.. A. Hodson, cotton specialist
with the University of Arkansas,
College of Agriculture
This Mississippi county tenant
farmer had FIVE bales of cotton tor
sale in the fall of 1918. He wanted
40 cents for his cotton and rather
than sell for SO cents and 261a cents
he 'stored" the five bales on tho
grounds in his yard under the cover
of blue or cloudy sky until the fall
of 1919, when he sold for 35 cents
and 80 cents. but the dockage for
damaged cotton was $50 pounds. IRE
following gives the details OF the
ira nsaction.
His 1918 crop consisted Of 'wo
bales weighing 655 pounds, for wilieh
he was offered 32 cents arc thee
bales weighing 1875 poun
which he was offered 261s cents. ~
these figures he could have sold a.s
crop in 1918 for $693.S7.
The market price for the qualItY
of cotton in his two better bales this
fall was 40 cents and for the OF 'o.'
three bales 35 cents if the cotton hal
been properly stored, was S9O4.25.
But the improper storage, or rath-
er no storage at all, resulted in sell
ing the two best bales weighing 600
pounds for 33 cents pound less Il
pounds dockage for damaged cotton.
The other three bales weighing .sS5
pounds brought 80 cents less $50
pounds for dockage. The total re-
ceived from the sale was 0542.34. or
S153,53 less than the crop would have
brought him in 1918-a % per cent
loss of the original value to say
nothing of the loss in grade value.
The difference between the selling
price in 1919 and the price the cot
ton would have brought in 1919 had
it been properly stored is $36l.Ol.
But since the cotton was worth
S695.S7 in 1918, storing it in ware
house for a year would have netted
a gain of s208.3S less insurance and
warehouse fees.
