Mixing of Cottons Costs for Growers
Washington July 12 Secretary Houston of the department of agriculture received a protest to pay from the Manchester England Cotton association against the practice of mixing different American staple cottons in the same bale. The letter notes that such mixing lowers quality and monetary value, urges ginners to keep separate grades, and explains waste and price impacts. It highlights ginner reluctance to reprocess, storage issues, and potential losses to producers when first layers are mixed or changed during ginning.
