ESSENTIAL POINTS IN
MARKETING COTTON


When our cotton crop is made and
the reports indicate either 9, IL o.
Hamilton bale crop, we naturally
turn our attention to how we can best
realize the most money and what VIC
can do to get the highest market
value, regardless Of the size of the
crop, and insn't it largely up to the
producer to solve this problem2
There are three things to do this
fall that are of vital Importance to
the cotton grower;
/. Picking or gathering.
2. Storing to prevent country
damage.
3. The gradual marketing Of the
crop.
The first sten to take that affects
marketing is the proper picking or
gathering Of the cotton. Low grades
rarely sell for even fair prices, while
good white cotton, clear of trash, is
nearly always in demand and brings
the best price.
Just at this time thousands Of bales
Of low grade cotton, with no demand,
are still on the market, left over
from last years crop. Now, if the
farmers, through their neglect and
carelessness permit this years crop
to go on the market, having been
poorly picked or roughly gathered,
there may be no demand whatever
The are two ways of preventing

that has heretofore been assigned b.
