Book Description
Excerpt from Studies of Primary Cotton Market Conditions in Oklahoma The spinner would like a better bale, kept under shelter until it is shipped to the mill, and with a covering which would keep the cotton clean and dry. Thus far very few bales thus wrapped and sheltered are to be found in the trade, and the industry is taxed for high insurance rates and for country damage claims instead of for proper warehousing and sheltering facilities and for careful handling. The farmer wants a better price, and believes that if there were lot so many persons and processes between-himself and the spinner he could get it. As matters stand to-day there are just three things which he can do to get more from his cotton crop, and in few locali ties can he do all three. He is told either (1) to grow a longer staple, (2) to grow a higher-yielding variety, or (8) to pick it more carefully, so' as to have-a better grade. Two of these are purely cultural propositions and the third is largely dependent for success upon the kindly consideration of the ginner, who may spoil a high grade bale by running it just after a low bale without dumping the roll, by making a water pack, or by operating with an improper adjustment of saws and brushes. After a bale of good grade has been ginned the producer is still dependent upon the generosity of the buyer to give him the price to which the higher grade is entitled. This consideration and generosity the ginners and buyers of cotton do not always show. The farmer has no direct interest in the concentration of great quantities of cotton at compress point-s nor in the process of com pression, which adds nothing to the intrinsic value of his cotton. He has no direct. Interest in the patches added to the bale at the compress. He is not a party to the neglect which results in most of the country damage. It is true he sets no good example in this matter, but he receives no compensation for any extra care which he. May bestow upon the finished bale. The city crop does not seem to constitute a direct loss to him, ashe has sold the bales before most of the robbing is done, but he knows it is a tax on the trade and he believes that all these taxes are deducted from the value of the cotton when the first 0 er is made him.
