On Waste In Cotton Marketing
Henry N. Pope, lecturer Texas Farmers’ Union, when
asked to estimate the annual loss due to Improper
methods of marketing the Texas cotton crop said In
part:
“The waste In cotton marketing begins at the gin
and It follows the product through every step from the
gin to the mill and It aggregates an enormous waste
which could be prevented, amounting to not less than
five dollars per bale. Samples taken from the bale by
the cotton buyer amount In the United States annually
to 100,000 bales, which 1* known to commerce as the
‘city crop'. At normal prices, that cotton Is worth $60
per bale making a total of $6.000,0«0 per year. Experts calculate that ator-
aga for cotton can be provided at a cost of $1.10 to $2.00 per bale for the
permanent structure. Thle loss, amounting to $0,000,000 occurs annually
and the saving of this Item alone within two or three years would provide
all the cotton warehouses that the Sou.h can possibly use at the time of Its
greatest need for storage and with the largest crop that It can possibly pro
duce, for cotton will move continually from September to March and at no
time, nor under aay circumstances, would there ever be more than one-third
or one-fourth of the total crop under shelter.
As a consequence of the cutting of the bale for the sample, the cotton bm!
he repacked at the oompreas. The ragged condition caused by much sampling
and exposure in the gin yard*, or in the back yard, or in tbe cotton yards,
or on the railroad platform, or dlsewhere. from the gin to sblpside, results
In an accumulation of dirt and trish in 'pluck*ngs' on compreea platforms
and In cotton yards la laoreaned insurance. In damage from exposure. In
increased fire hazards and the deduction for ths tare which always exceeds
the actual weight of the bagging and tlea by ten pounds at least—I say that
these several Item* of waste and graft amount In the aggregate to a aum
not less than five dollars per bale, every cent of which la ealeulated In ad-
vance by the purchaser, and la deducted from the price whloh the spinner
pays the farmer. None of this appeaA In fhe bill ef lading but Is all
la the transaction and It all accruaa to the lots of the producer
The next process Is official grading of the cotton sample. In my JU“K-
ment the farmers are loalag from fifty cents to one dollar per bale by the
grading of the cotton buyer, who naturally will give himself the benefit or
the doabt In order to protect his own business with the mill. A cotton
buyer, uncertain aa to whether a hale of qottoa la strict, middling or miff
sling- fair> xriu buy It at the lower grade rather than the higher. We must
allow that there era many dishonest men In the eotton trade, as to other voea-
tleas. and that a large number of them will take advantage of fhe farmers ig-
uorance an possibly grads the eotton much lower than Its actaal grads.

Another storm similai to that
of 1900 has been raging along
the Texas coast this week. Last
reports state that sea water
came three miles further inland
than in 1900. The main part of the
storm passed inland at a point
near Galveston, and only the
great three mile sea wall which
held much of the water back un-
til people could make their es-
cape via the great concrete
causeway, which stretches from
the mainland to Galveston island,
prevented a repition of 1900
All wires were down and there
h: . been no messeges from Gal
veston up to Thursday. A tele
gram from Smithviile stated that
eighteen bodies had been found
at Hitchcock, twenty miles north
of Galveston. The loss of life
is believed to be heavy. Proper-
ty damages will run into the
millions.
The Goverment wireless sta-
tion at Fort Sam Houston at San
Antonio, received the following
message from the United States
transport Buford in Galveston
Harber:
"Considerable suffering in city.
Water system, lighting system,
gas and street car system out of
commission.
“No drinking water in city.
“Three hundred feet of cause-
way destroyed.
“All officers, classified employ-
ees, enlisted men, families safe.”
