Georgia - Grown Empire
(otton Pleases Mills
“Where can we get more of this
fmpire eotton? We‘could use it in
Jarge quantities!”
A cotton mill manager in-South
(.roiina has this to say about
Empire cotton, th?..variety devel
sped at the Georgia Agricultural
pyxperiment Statton near Griffin
. few vears ago, and which is now
peing grown throughout the south,
The Addison Plant of Kendall
\ills Edgefield, South Carolina,
srocessed more than 150 bales of
Pmpire cotton recently and as the
cotton was being processed, made
o <tudy of its qualities in compari
«on with other cottons - being
orown in this section of the south
asf. This company, which produ
ces Curity nursery products and
curgical dressings, s enthusiastic
sbout the results obtained with
Empire cotton.
The tests on this variety were
arranged by Charles J. Bryant,
ceorgia Extension Serviee cotton
marketing specialist. For the past
two vears, Mr. Bryant has been
carrving on a demonstration in
the identification of one-variety
cotton produced in some of Geor
sia’s 100 per cent one-variety
communities. A special identifica
tion tag is placed on the bale when
the cotton is ginned in order tq be
able to follow the cotton from the
oins on through processing in the
mill to determine qualities in com
parison with cottons of mixed va
rieties.
Additional Step .
“This plan of identifying eotton
according to variety is just an ad
ditional step in improving Geor
gia’'s over-all program,” Bryant
savs. “Georgia farmers have been
among the leaders in one-variety
cotton production for a number
of years, but in the past very lit
tle has been known about what
happened to cotton grown in the
state after it left the producers.
This added step will enable mills
to take advantage of known quali
ties in making purchases of cot
ton for their operations.” |
Bryant pointed out that all of
the more than 150 bales of cotton
was processed through the Addi
son Mill at one time and records
were kept on each phase of pro
cessing.
According to Bryant, when the
cotton was classed at the mill,
28 per cent of it was one inch in

staple and 72 per cent was one and
one-thirty second inches (1 1-32).
Nineteen per cent of the cotton
graded middling color, strict low
middling leaf and 81 per cent mid
dling.
The officials at the Addison Mill
say, “Through examination of sev
eral lots of Empire cotton we have
l the opinion that this variety is un
usually even in fiber length and
Ithls,. of course, is a valuable fac
tor in good spinability.
Mill Results
The Addison Mill operated for
one entire week on this 150 bale
load of Empire cotton with the
following results:. i
¥ There was less waste in. the
Empi-e variety than with cotton
normally used which is a mixture
of other varieties, It was pointed
out that during carding there was
much less shedding of cotton than
in a normal run. This lack of shed
ding was so noticeable in the Em
pire cotton that several card tend
ers noticed it.
2. Neps in the Empire cotton
were much smaller than with the
regular cottons being used in this
'mill. These “neps” are small tan
gles in ‘he fiber. There were¢ a few
more “neps” however, in the Em
pire than in the cottons normally
‘used by the mill If there are too
‘many neps and the neps are large
the fiber may not Lie suitable for
turning into high-quality cloth.
3. The breaking strength of Em
pire cotton was greater, giving a
stronger yarn than that from reg
ular stock cottons.
4. Little difference was noted
in spinning performance between
Empire and the regular stock.
5. Weaving performance, ac
cording to Bryant, was unusually
good and the number of looms
running constantly with no stops
was higher with the Empire cot
ton than with the regular stock.
Good Performance
J. D. French, cotton buyer for
the Palmetto Cotton Division of
the Kendall Company, of which
the Addison Mill is a unit, ob
serves, “Empire cotton shows un--
usually good = characteristics and
performance in comparison with
other cotton grown in the same
southeastern areas in the same
crop season.” ;

attention to the use of the Empire

cotton in the Addison Mill, Mr.
French says, “We hope you find
these results of interest and value
in promoting the idea of one-va
riety cotton communities, which
idea we strongly endorse.”
The cotton processed in this test
was grown by farmers in Haralson
county and ginned by W. E. Mor
gan and Son, Buchanan. It was
bought by J. D. Frorence and Com
pany, Cedartown, who assisted
materially assembling the lot ac
cording to specifications of the
mill running the test.
4-H'ers Lauded
For Top Condition
Of Farm Tractors
Keeping the nation’s fleet of
3 1-2 million farm tractors oper
ating efficiently is a job of basic
importance to the whole economy.
Aiding in this task today is the
4-H tractor maintenance program
THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA
through which nearly 130,000 club
leaders and members have been
trained to know their tractors, care
for them well, and operate them
efficiently, according to L. R.
Dunson, assistant state 4-H club
leader.
“The 4-H gdvisers and older
club members receive special
training in tractor care and oper
ation at Tractor Maintenance
Clinics, which are conducted by
the Georgia Agricultural Exten
sion Service and the American Oil
Company,” Dunson said. “The
leaders pass on what they learn
to club members who carry out
the training on the home tractors.
“Through this process of train
ing, club members not only learn
the value of efficient tractor oper
ation, but also develop the quali
ties of leadership, helpfulness, in
itiative and thrift.”
As incentives for outstanding
records of achievecent in this pro
gram, merit medals, Chicago 4-H
Club Congress trips and college
scholarships are offered by Amer
ican Oil Company on county, state
and national levels, respectively.
Last year’s state winner in
Geqrgia was Robert E. Garner of
Sarah. One hundred twenty club
members in Georgia received
county medals of honor.
