For Quality CrjLton
Cotton farmers berfwlt directly
from good ginning, but the ginner
must obtain a reasonable profit
for his services if he expects to
continue an adequate service to
his patrons, says J. C. Ferguson,
Extension ginning specialist of
State College.
Care in picking a^ handlj^ng
cotton before It reaches the gin
is just as Important as care in
the actual ginning operation. The
ginner can render his (best service
only when his patrons cooperate
with him in bringing cotton to
the gin that is reasonably clean
and in pro'per condition for gin
ning.
Ferguson said the swing toward
improved cotton varieties has re
sulted in more care ol the seed
at the gin. Varb/us methods of
handling seed have been devised,
with the most common being the
blow pipe vacuum system and the
belt system underneath the gin
stands.
A modern gin plant, the special
ist pointed out, should Include
such features as a conditinoer or
drier, a pure seed handling sys
tem, adequate cleaning and ex
tracting machinery, economical
fans, separators and piping, and
a good baling prees.
In the 1939 ginning season, ap
proximately 1,100 out of 11,884
gins in the United States operated
driers, ol which 22 were in
North Carolina.
