Gus, some are shrubs, and still
others are small trees.
Our upland cotton (Gossypiun
Hirsutum) is a perennial where
there is no frost. During warm
winters, it will continue grow
ing and blooming until after New
Year when freezes come.
Plant Strucfures-Roots
Flowering plants have five
structures, any or all of which
may be helpful to US in deter
mining the classification of the
plant. They have specific func-
tons in the divisions of labor in
the plant. These parts are roots,
stems, leaves, flower sand fruits.
Cotton has tap root. 1t grows
deep down into the soil if it is
soft and porous. From this pri-
mary root grows many secondary
roots along four shallow grooves,
forming four rows running
lengthwise along the tap root
for few inches under the soil.
Under favorable conditions,
the roots perform efficiently their
functions of anchorage, absorp-
ton, respiration and transloca-
ton.
Stems
The cotton plant framework
consists of an upright main stem
which is stiff and woody, which
supports the side branches with
their leaves, flowers and fruits.
The main stem or trunk is usu-
ally from two to four feet tall,
but may be much shorter or
taller.
Side branches are abundant
The Petal paper. [volume] (Petal, Miss.) 1953-19??, 1958-10-16

and are usually as long as the
main stem above the branch
node These branches are of two
kinds, vegetatiye and fruiting.
Each is distinctive with it's own
functions.
Stems support leaves, flowers
and fruits. They also make and
transloeate food.
4 Leaves and Flowers
Cotton leaves are. similar in
structure and function to many
other Towering plants. They are
palmately veined and have three
to five lobes. The shapes of some
species resemble red maple, some
are more like sweetgum, while
othrs look like okra, but not so
rough.
The chief functions of cotton
leaves are food elaboration,
Transportation and respiration.
Flowers are usually in five
parts of the calyx and carolla
The involucre is usually made of
three or more bracts. Stamens
are numerous.
Flowers of cotton are of short
duration. The upland varieties
are white the first day, pink the
second and drop off the third.
Fruits are the result of insect
pollination. Each boil contains

family consists of about 40 gen.

Favorite climates are found in
temperate and tropical areas of
the world.
Relatives of cotton have been
used by man for food and for
ornamental plants since before
written history began. The fam
lily also yields chemicals as mu-

Among the cotton relatives
used for ornamentals are hibis-

The Riologf Of Cotton

The cotton picking season oc-
cupies the thoughts and activi-
ties of many people. 1T is ma
ior factor in the lives of many
people who depend on it almost
entirely for their livelihood. This
is true to such an extent that the
term King Cotton, has become
widely accepted While it does
control the lives of some people,
this is now less so than in past
years. If cotton is king now, it is
through service.
Cotton serves more people
than any other fiber It is used
for clothing in most of the tenn
oerate and tropical areas of the
earth, It is a favorite fabric be-
cause of its durability, the facil-
ity with which it is produced and
handled, and its ability to take
dyes. Modern chemistry applied
to dyes has produced some of
our most colorful; attractive and
servieeable wearing apparel.
There are other ways in which
cotton serves. 1t is used in much
of our better quality paper. Small
quantities are used in medical
practice as absorbent cotton,
dressings and 'bandages. The 9TH
err important use is mot the fiber
but the seed, which is used for
feed and food. Cotton seed has
long been a favorite- feed con-
centrate for cattle. 1T is rich in
both proteins and fats. AS hu-
man food, cotton fat is equal to
animal fat and much more eco
nomical. Oleofnargerine is TAX
ing its rightful place in the, diet
of people throughout America.
1t was reported several years
ago that the legislature of a
leading dairy state appropriated
$500, 100000 for research to deter
mine. the superiority of butter
over oleomargerine in human nu-
triton. No reports have been
made to indicate such discovery
has yet been made No doubt
they would have been reported
toong ago had they been found.
Cotton is king in this service,
also.
