Roughly gin ned cotton, he said, may reduce tne market value of a bale as much as from $18 .'to' $38. .'"iw-4i'j-: He pointed out that farmer wno have their samples classed, should be In a favorable bargaining posi tion when marketing their cotton, since they will know the official grade and staple length of each hale, and w with market newa ser vice -- how much it should bring. Pointing out the value and Im portance of USDA'a 'green card' classing, Mr. Weeks explained that the official classing record will show bow uniform his staple length Is, thus giving him a check on the performance of his planting seed. When staple lengths of any of the usual varieties grown in Duplin fall below one inch, It's an Indicat ion that planting seed need to be replaced. .. . , ''-.,'.:';.'. rrrr,,na" r-p'n, c-npnter on " !
