to advantage in the various products
made from this fiber.

sales representatives of Anderson-
Clayton Co. The visitors spent consid
erable time with W. E. Tucker, of our
Cotton Classifying Dept, who helped to
arrange for the meeting.
Cotton fibers of various types with re
spect to fineness and strength were
shown together with samples of yarns
and materials made from different
types of fibers as examples of how fiber
characteristics affect quality.
Dr. Berkley emphasized the impor
tance of methods of measuring fineness
strength and maturity of cotton fibers.
He pointed out that use of scientific
techniques in selection and processing
of cotton are being utilized more and
more by successful manufacturers. He
congratulated Fieldcrest Mills on facil
ities and methods used by our Physical
Testing Laboratory which was instituted
some years ago.
