Cotton growers urged to shift to higher quality lint
The Sears Roebuck Agricultural Foundation argues 134 cotton farmers could boost income by producing higher quality lint. It notes U S mills pay premiums for strict middling lint and that most U S consumption is 1 inch or shorter. Several counties show much of 1927 crop under 1 inch, raising freight costs as mills rely on outside states.

Poor years may drop to 1516 inch staple cotton
The article notes upland cotton yielding over 1 16 inch staple often loses value per acre as prices fail to offset lower yields. Local markets use a hog round basis for middling cotton, denying premiums for superior trade lengths. Cooperatives pay on graded basis, urging wider use of varieties and payment notices to reward each grower for delivered fiber quality.
