The cotton season of 1913 is fast approaching and in view of the rules recently promulgated by handlers of the South's great est money crop, it would seem that the time has come when the marketing of OHr cotton output must be done on a more econom ical basis. Wet bales ahd dam aged bales are being promptly re fused by the Steamship and rail road companies. These irregu larities cost lotJ of money, and a buyer who does not make the proper reductions not only pays the penalty imposed, but other un avoidable expenses that are in curred after the cotton reaches the compresses or ports. These new rules and regulations when understood and strictly complied with will result in better priced to the farmer and a great savin.# to the transportation companies. The amount saved in trans portation will be added to the price of the cotton when it is first sold. The buyers, the sell ers, the steamship companies, the railroad companies and ev erybody interested in the cotton industry should do everything they can to bring about a co-op erative effort to conform to thebe new rules. “Another tiling .that’s costing the careless farmer of parts of Alabama and other sections of our country from SI.OO to $5.00 per bale,” said a prominent Geor gia cotton man who was in the city this week, is the mar keting of cotton that is ginned wet. The cotton is picked with a heavy dew on it and packed down tightly in a wagon body so that the water cannot dIT out. hi is then carried to the gin so wet that no gin on earth can gin it except one with an air blast that loosens up the cotton and taked out a small amount of water. What is the farmer that is doing this kind of business do ing for himself. 7 lie getd a bad sample and much shorter lint than if his cotton had been ginn ed dry. Wet cotton fiber does not pull loose from the seed like dry fiber but breaks off, leav ing part of it on the seed, and of course is a much shorter dtaple and is calledAGin-cut cotton.’ “This farmer, under the di 1 u sion of what he thinks a slick trick, taked the bale to his buy er, demanding every pound it will weigh, and the top of the mar ket, sells it to him with from five to twenty pounds of water in it, as the case may be, gets hist money and goes his way re joicing, leaving tin* buyer to losf the weight of the water. The peo pie who handle; the cotton crop and tin* spinners who turn it in to cloth are not all fools, and time is now at hand when the price is going to be made accord ingly. The man who Adis water in his! co f ton is like the fellow who some years ago shipped a number of bales of cotton to his firm in Charel&ton, S. C., who were cotton exporters and also wholesale grocery merchants. The farmer wrote them to sell the cotton and ship him a bill of gro ceries consisting of sugar, flour meat and other things. The cot ton went fa the compress and one of the bales broke tin* press. They opened the bale to see what the trouble was and found a large grindstone. The groceries went forward to the farmer, and when he opened ihe barrel of sugar the first thing In* saw was his old grindstone. There was no trouble in reaching a settle ment with this farmer.” Don’t try to defraud your buyer by selling damp cotton Winder, Jackson County, Ga., Thursday, August 21, 1913.
