gw ROEBUCK AGRICULTURAL FOUNDATION
Cotton farmers could add appreci
ably to their income from this crop
by producing the types of cotton spin
ners want, and marketing it on a
quality basis, states the Sears-Roe
buck Agricultural Foundation. The
evidence shows that American mills
use better cotton than the average of
the grades and staples produced in
the United States and the mill de
mand for higher quality lint is in
creasing. Premiums paid by spinuers
for high quality cotton range up to
6 to 8 cents for strict middling IVi
inch staple over the price paid for
middling %-inch cotton.
Of the 6,519,509 hales of upland cot
ton consumed by mills in the United
States in the year ending July 31,
2928, 84.6 per cent were from % to
1 1-32 inch in length, according to
the United States Department of Agri
culture. Cotton measuring 1 inch or
more made up 42.4 per cent of the
total, while only 1.4 per cent was
under % incn. In grade, 52.4 per cent
of the consumption ranged from strict
low middling to good middling.
No equally comprehensive record
of the crop grown is available as
yet, but partial reports and the com
ments of mills show that growers are
producing much more cotton % Inch
or less in length than mills need.
This short cotton is largely exported
and must sell abroad in competition
with cheap cottons from China and
India, produced by low-paid labor.
Georgia mills consume about as
much cotton as is grown in the state,
but only about 25 per cent of rhe
cotton used is Is inch or under while
about 80 per cent of the crop grown is
7s inch or under. Hence, it becomes
necessary for the mills to go outside
the state for the bulk of their re
qiiirements. adding materially to
freight costs. In representative Toxas
counties. 14..1 per cent of the ginninsrs
of part of the 1027 crop were found
to he under 7's inch while such cotton
made up only 3.4 per cent of the na
tional consumption, and 38 per cent
of ginnings were %-inch cotton
against consumption of 28.S per cent
of that length.
Usually varieties of coiton 15-16
inch in length yield more per acre
than the longer staple varieties or
those under %-inch. This lower yield
must be considered in determining
how far growers can go in trying to
raise the longer staple. In general, it
is suggested that varieties running to
1-inch staple should be more widely
used. In good seasons, they may
produce 1 to 1 1-16-inch staple, but in
THE FOREST CITY COURIER, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1923

poor years they may drop to
inch. Varieties of upland cotton pro
ducing above 1 l-l(Mnch staple fre
quently fall so far in yield that the
increase in price is more than coun
terbalanced, giving a lower value per
acre.
Unfortunately, much of the cotton
crop is sold in local markets at a
"hog-round" basis of middling cot
ton of %-inch staple. In such mark
ets, growers who have produced cot
ton of superior grade and length dr.
not get the benefit of the premiuir
which spinners pay for such cotton
This method, coupled with the higher
yield of shorter cotton, discourages
improvement. Cotton sold through co
operative associations is paid for on a
graded basis and it is probable that
the tendency to pay a premium for
i superior cotton in local markets Is
| increasing.
The Foundation adds that to nu>k«
the movement to improve the qualit\
of cotton wholly successful, it will
be necessary to develop varieties of
1 i-16-inch or longer staple that will
equal the shorter cotton in yield and
the practice of paying each grower
j for the kind of cotton he delivers
I must be more generally used.
