may well turn their attention to-

the most significant experiments n

have taken place in the last dec

It's ultimate goal the most thor

of the cotton industry, a new Cos
pei for the cotton groves and gin
ner is emanating from the group OF
steel and stucco buildings at Stone
vile which house the Federal gov
ernment's. and the worlds, only
cotton ginning laboratories.
Best known for the development NJ
the cotton drier, recognized by sX-
perts as the most important inven-
ton in the ginning industry during
the past forty years, the u. S. Cot
ton Ginning Laboratories at Stone
vile, through the study Of imrrov-
ed ginning methods and the effects
on ginning of better planting and
harvesting are blazing the trail to-
ward a new Cay of prosperity for
the Gotten industry.
Established in the heart of the
cotton belt in 1890. the ginning
laboratories have been a vital
phase of the U. S. Department
of Agriculture's efforts to increase
the dwindling income Of cot
ton farmers. At the outset of the
program 1t was recognized that
ginning was an important factor
in the development of high-yielG-
ing, early-maturing varieties of cot
ton. and of improving production
techniques and practices for low
ering costs.
In the decades before the l930's,
large cotton crops and other fac
tors had contributed to careless
ness and negligence in the ha1-
vesting and handling of cotton on
the farm. Cotton growers had en-
couraged ginnerS to make haste
in ginning their cotton. With each
advance in ginning machinery.

ton harvesting. Low cotton prices
caused the ginners' income 10 fall
so low that many gins had bcen

consequent poorer job Of ginning

handlers protested against tire ir-
efficient ginning Of the domestic
crop. and psnalized poorly ginned
cotton. with the resultant loss in
value being borne by the grover in
Mississi-oi and other Southern
states.
Such was the status OF cotton
when the ginning laboratories first
began their work.
From the outset the laboratories
have been operated under the dual
control of the Bureau of A9ricul-
tural Chemistry and Engineering
and tie Agricultural Marketing
Service. The former divisioa IL
charged with the actual ginning
experiments, while the latter has

Worlds Only Cotton Ginning Laboratory Looks Ahead To New Crop

/, ginning and its related subjects,
| ranging from the drying of seed
cotton in the process OF ginning
to cotton harvesting and handling.
In recognition of the value of the
Stoneville findings, eleven of the
cotton growing states have en-
ployed extension specialists in cot
ton ginning TO carry the results Of
this research work to the growers
and ginners of their states.
1t is through these specialists as
well as through the laboratory Of
ficals who make frequent field
trips that the farmers and ginners
are informed of the definite and
close relationship between the field
and the factory, and the grower
and the manufacturer.
The farmer is taught that it Is
unw.se TO mix seed in planting.
that, invariably, difference In
grade results with consequent low
er prices per bale. Growers of a
given community are encouraged
to raise The same variety of cot
ton, cutting down ON ginning adj
iustments and time. resulting in a
hicher market price.
Emphasis is laid on the fact tina.
cotton should be picked before
it Is unduly exposed in the field,
The exposure causing losses in
grade and selling price. Clean

that thougr cleaning apparatus ex-
perimented with at the laborator-
les improves the lint from snapped
cotton by n and a half grades,
there was an average marxet-value
difference of So per bale in favor
OF cotton carefully hand-picked.
The farmers are told to give
| proper protection and storage to
their bales after ginning. 1t Is
pointed out TO them that oWner
who do not properly protect their
cotton suffer heavy losses year
after year. From the field to the
market, the farmer learns what he
must do II he Is to receive the best
price for his cotton.
The ultimate success OF the
Stoneville engineers and technolo-
gists lies in proving to ginners and
growers that adoption Of the new
methods means dollars In their
pockets. that continuance Of lid
methods means actual loss Of cash.
The laboratories are teaching
that cotton isn't just cotton any
more: 1t Is strict middling or low
missiling: 1t Is TO or / SIG inches

that staple length and grade must
be high to bring the best price.
They are teaching the farmer to
grow his cotton up TO the specifi-
cations which industry demands.
Through such q program Of
growing and ginning a. the Stone
Vile scientists advocate. the South
ern cotton grower may do his part
in helping TO restore lost markets
and overcome the competition Of
rival fibres. Mississippi Is proud
that its own laboratory Is leading
the way.
