COTTON GROWERS
CONFER ENCE AT
TEXTILE MILLS.

Eastern mills have been complain
ing of the quality Of cotton grown
in the irrigated southwest accord
ing to d. f. Creighton, assistant
farm advisor. The mills claim thai
this cotton is wasty and irregular
Two years ago G. l.. Crawford OF
the Bureau of Agricultural Eco
Monies of the U. S. Department OF
Agriculture was assigned to study
the irrigated cotton problem. II
possible he was to find out if the
complaints were justified; and il
so, how the quality of the cotton
might be improved in order to meet
the needs of the mills.
Last year, Creighton states, g
number of bales of cotton from diff
ferent sections of the irrigated
southwest were marked in such 6
way that records could be kept OF
them. Crawford followed these
bales through eastern and southern
mills and has very interesting re
port to make on his findings.
A meeting sponsored by the cot
ton department of the Kern County
Farm Bureau and endorsed by the
County Farm Bureaus and Agricul
tural Extension Service in other cot
ton districts, has been called for
Friday noon July l9 at the Good
year Textile Mills headquarters at
670l South Central avenue, Los An
geles. All cotton men in the south
west are invited. The program has
tentatively been arranged as fol
lows:
Luncheon at 12 noon, sharp, neal
the mills. Short talks by cotton
men.
Visit through textile mills. Ex
plantations will be given by cOmpe
tent guides of the machinery used
in making tire fabrics. The value OF
different types of cotton for spin
ming will be stressed.
c. l.. Crawford will discuss the
results of the bale tests made last
year.
w. p. Camp will bring out the
correlation between the methods
of production and quality of fibre.
The meeting as planned will take
only one-half day. 1t will be pos
sible for those wishing additional
information to stay over another day
and 90 through the rubber plant.
According to Creighton the loss OF
premium due to the prejudice of the
mill men against irrigated cotton has
meant the loss of great deal OF
money to southwestern growers
Hence this meeting should be of in
tense interest to all cotton growers
