the gin capacity is increased more
than 28 per cent by drying damp
or wet cotton He says 431,000 of j
the 920,000 bales produced in 1939
were harvested green, damp or
wet.
“Fuel costs per bale for drying
cotton amounts to less than 28
cents, while the increase in value
is $4.42. Improvement of dry cot-j
ton by means of Extension driers is agricult-j $1.23.’ J
The Georgia
ural engineer says only 2.2 per cent
of the •state’s cotton gins had
driers, but that concerted effort
is being made to increase the num

THE WAR HAS PUT a damper
upon Georgia politics. It is vir

chances of any major candidate
when the national peril is attract
