Big Bales
Go Blooey
Texas farmers who try to get
too much cotton into their bales
may be at least partly responsible
for damage that shows up later
when the bales go through the
compress, F. E. Lichte. cotton
gin specialist of the Texas A./And
M. Extension Service, points out.
“When cotton is udder extreme
pressure, as is the case at the
compress, fibers in the oversized
bales are likely to be torn and cut
in suc.i ma:i .ei that th?Ir value
to the spinner is reduced,” Lichte
said.
Tests conducted by the U. S.
Department if Agriculture show a
lairger percentage of air-cut
damage in oversized bales than
in normal bales.
Though the farmer does not
suffer directly, except in the few
cases where he is the owner of the
bale at the time it is compressed,
he does suffer through the lower
prices brokers and mills must pay
for other purchases to offset
these losses.
The way to reduce this damage
is to deliver only enough seed
cotton to the gin to produce a
bale of ginned lint weighing 500
pounds or thereabouts.
“If the tendency toward over-
weight does not stop, if is prob-
able that we will see the trade put
on a penalty for bales over 550
pounds just as lightweight bales
are now penalized,” Lichte said.
The trade is beginning to reserve
the fight to reject bales in excess
of 600 pounds. The present pen-
alties are $1.00 for hales under
450 pounds; $2.00 for those under
400 pounds; and these under 350
pounds not acceptable.
