COTTON FIBER AND PROCESSING TEST RESULTS,


CROP OF 1978


Discussion of Test Results


The average fiber length of short staple samples tested from the Sout st
through October 13 is considerably shorter than a year ago at this time,
according to the Cotton Division, Agricultural Marketing Service,
Cottons are stronger at zero gage strength tests than a year ago. 0So
Shirley Analyzer nonlint content and picker and card waste are higher. rns
spun from these samples are weaker with higher appearance grades.
imperfect ions are fewer than a year ago. The average spinning pote t ye
