Martin county cotton farmers
who want to keep up with the
marketing picture can receive the
market news service and official
classing of their cotton again this
year from the U. S Department of
Agriculture s Cotton Branch.
Growers will find it to their
advantage to get an official gov
eminent classing on each ball it
is ginned. The USDA 'green card
classing not only shows the grade
and staple length of each bale,
but tells both (tinner and pro
ducer when a bale has been re
duced in grade because of rough
ginning preparation
County agent Brandon listed
the following ginners in this
county who as of September 112.
had bonded samplers on duty to
draw samples on request by grow- 1
ers, and who w ill submit samples f
to USDA for the free and offi
cial classing service: Taylor Mill i
and Gin. Roberson idle; Johnson
Gin. Oak City, and Hassell Gin
Co.. Hassell.
Turning again to the problem of j
rough ginning preparation, Conn
ty Agent Brandon pointed out j
that ,t may result from either

hauling excessively damp, wet, or
green seed cotton to the gin. or
to improper operation of ginning
maehinen Roughly ginned cot
ton. he said, may reduce the mar
ket value of a bale as much as
from S15 to Stfo
The count.v agent pointed out
that the higher the- prices for
average qualities of cotton, the
greater premiums the higher j
grades and longer staple lengths
should bring Farmers who have
their samples classed, he explain
ed, should be in a favorable bar
gaining position when marketing
their cotton, since they will know
the official grade and staple
length of each bale, and -with
market news service—how much
it should bring
With the prices prevailing this
season, farmers are selling much
of their cotton soon after ginning
However, Brandon pointed out
farmers will find it to their ad- 1
vantage to obtain an official gov
ernment class on each bale, even
'though they soil it immediately
after it is ginned— first, to serve
as a cheek on each sale made, and
•second, to give them an official
; record on each bale.
Pointing out the value and im
portance of USDA’s "green card"
classing, County Agent Brandon
explained that the official class
ing record will show the grower
how uniform his staple lengths
, arc, thus giving him a check on
the performance of his planting
seed. When staple lengths of any
inf the usual varieties grown in
Marlin County fall below one
inch, it's an indication that plant
ing seed need to be replaced, he
pointed out.
The chief function of USDA's
classing and market news service,
he declared, is to assist farmers
m obtaining the full market value
of their cotton.
