Ginners See Need For New Devices Ginners of North Carolina and other Southeastern states have 1J been quick to recognize the need K for more elaborate cleaning equirpft ment to handle the increasing an mount of longer staple varieties of ig cotton, says J. C. Ferguson, extern ?- slon ginning specialist of State Colty lege. re Probably the spark which set off y. the Increased growing of longer 3* lint was the one-variety cotton com - -muntty plan. In recent years, more h ahd more counties have tamed toto ward the general standardization of Varieties, realizing that such apian would work for their general wel? it fare. _ '. . * "Ten years ago," Ferguson said, 'fewer than 5 percent at the tflns r, in the Southeastern states were eII (futprneti (wfttfi pxtractnrffoeders tcfr in cleaning seed cotton before it went jy to the gin stands. Today more than 8 25 out of every 100 are employing extVac'for^feedtJrs lo improve the grade of lint turned out from the ["* varieties farmers now grow and to " improve the efficiency of their gins. The marked tendency toward Ion ger staple varieties has also brought about the need for more cleaning m and drying machinery. This equlp9 ment makes It much easier to turn out good preparation on the ginned |* lint, the kind of preparation that e makes bales attractive to buyers. Fdrguson pointed out that tests at the U. 8. Cotton dinning Labors" tory at Stonevilie. Miss., show that proper cleaning of seed cotton bene a' fits the ginned lint, on an average^ a" by one-fifth of a grade with long staple varieties and two-fifths of a grade with short staples. ^ At most gins, the higher vsloe of the bales showing better prepare tion Is reflected In the price farm* ers receive for their cotton. nrfhis year, for the eight months ending with May, the United States changed places with the United Kingdom as the most Important buyer of Argentine wool.
