ADVISE NOT TO SELL 1
1 COTTON IN THE SEED
WASHINGTON. ? -Because of the
groat losses that are being sustained
in the Bale of cotton in the seed In
some parts of the country, market
specialists of the United States De- |
partrnents of Agriculture recommend '
that farmers discontinue sales <^f
seed cotton and encourage custom1
ginning In their neighborhoods. The
many factors entering into the value
of cotton cannot be estimated accur
ately before ginning, it is pointed
out, while by marketing the lint and
seed separately the grower may have
a knowledge of the value of his pro- <
duct and may sell It on Its merits.
The recommenadtlons are based on a
study made In Oklahoma In 1916 and
roported In Farmers* Bulletin No.
-?76, recently published.
In the transactions obnerved In
Oklahoma an average of $4.63 per
bale was lost by selltng ootton In the
seed, while In one case the loss was
as high as $2 MO a bale,
j In addition to cash losses from re
ceiving lower prides than would have
beon received from the sale of glnner
cotton and seed, farmers selling oot
ton Id th? seed and their communi
ties lose from the mixture of need In
'the" gins, lhany of the farmers hav
ing to depend on this seed for plant
ing. Ths mixture of varltftlts and
different length of staple results In a
lew vsluable crop of cotton the next
?eason and. If continued, will bring
about progressive deterioration.
