Westbrook has encouraged grow ers to put their cotton la the pro per condition for ginning, since it is imposlble to do a good Job ol ginning on green cotton or wet " cotton. In Spite of a bad haveatlns season last year, only 59 bale. out of 1,603 bales of cotton at the Westbrook gin were reduced as much as one grade, and this was due to the cotton being either green or wet when ginned, Holle says. , . .- - Westbrook collected samples of each bale of cotton ginned for free government classification under the Smith-Doxey act and thus growers were able to determine the grade of each bale of cotter land its staple length. They wen not only able to sell their cotter on a better basis but they could check it from a seed standpoint, Forty-three bales were found tr pull less than one inch staple aw the growers who delivered ther have been supplied with purebred seed." 4 1 i I A ! 1 i!
