Though the farmer does not suffer
directly, unless ne is the owner of
the cotton at the time it is compress
sed, he does suffer through the
lower prices merchants and mills pay
for other purchases to offset these
losses due to so-calied air-cutting of
bales during compression"
The United States Department of
Agriculture recommends that an eff
fective way to reduce this damage
caused during bale compression, and
the subsequent loss to farmers, is
to deliver only enough seed cotton
to the gin to produce a standard
500-pound bale of ginned lint. The
standard bales of 500-pound gross
weight show much less Of this dam
age after compression than do bales
weighing more than 500 pounds.

Moore Says Oversize
Cotton BoIes Moy Be
Damaged At Compress

Mississippi farmers who try to
get too much cotton into their bales
may be at least partly responsible for
damage that shows up later when
the bales go through the compress,
V. P. Moore, gin specialist of the
Mississippi State Extension Service,
pointed out this week.
When cotton is under extreme
pressure, as is the case at the COM
press" Moore said, "fibers in the
oversize bales are likely to be torn
or cut in such a manner that their
value to the spinner is reduced.
