gather the first cotton, a percentage
CT which is damaged by wet weather,
and have it baled separately from the
later grades in order not to pull down
or lower the grades of all the cotton.
BY doing this the later pickings will
be of uniform grades. Even at best
this plan has it's difficulties, for cotton
is opening every day. Would it be ad-
visable to go over it and pick all the

open to be gotten later? These are
