To Cotton Growers, Dealers, Ginners and Shippers and Railroad Offi cers and Employes: Millions of 'dollars are lost every year through improper storage of cot ton. This has been known in a gen eral way for a long time by everybody interested in cotton, but probably very few of us havce even suspected what a tremendous factor storage is in the trade, or the astounding lot of money thrown away by the individual owner who lets a bale of cotton stay on the ground. Some tests conducted by the United States Department of Agriculture re cently were brought to the attention of the United States Railroad Admin istration, and their results were so startling that 'the Administration de sires to aid in gaining for them widest possible dissemination and most care ful consideration. The most striking fact disclosed was that a 492 pound bale of cotton stored flat on the ground for six months lost 232 pounds, leaving 260 pounds for the market, while another bale stored' pro perly in a warehouse lost only two pounds. This means that, if the price was thirty cents a pound, the loss on the first bale was $89.60. The loss on the bale in the warehouse was but sixty cents. These tests occurred at Press No. 1 of the St. Louis Cotton Compress Com pany, Little Rock, Ark. Seven bates of cotton were piurchased by the De partment of Agriculture and stored under various conditions from Nov ember 25, 1918, to June 13, 1919, Weekly observations were conducted and complete reports prepared upon the condition of the coton throughout the period. Briefly, here is what the tests dis closed: Bale No. 1, fully protected in ware house, weighed 494 pounds at the start and had a net marketable weight of 492 pounds when reconditioned at the end of the test. Bale No. 2, exposed on dunnage and turned after each rain or once a week, dropped in net marketable cotton from 487 pounds to 480 pounds. Seven pounds lost). Bale No. 3, on dunnage on edge, cov ered with -tarpaulin and left without further attention during test, dropped from 489 to 485 pounds.' (Four pounds lost). Bale No. 4, flat on ground during en tire test, same surface down at all times, dropped from 492 to 260 pounds. (232 pounds lost). During the test this bale absorbed moisture until it weighed 912 pounds on June 7. In reconditioning 420 pounds of moisture went out and 232 pounds of moulded and ruined cotton were thrown away. Bale No. 5, on end on ground during the entire test, with same surface down at all times, dropped from 505 pounds to 385 pounds. (Loss 120 pounds). Bale No. 6, on edge during entire test, same surface down at all times, dropped from 503 to 438 pounds. (Loss 65 pounds). ed from time to time ,at least one a week, dropped from 495 to 473 pounds. (Loss 22 pounds). The Navy goes all over the world-sails the Seven Seas squiats at the six continents that's its business.

If you don't know where it is, your Post master will be glad to tell you. Inquiries by the Agricultural Sec tion of the Railroad Administration have developed that the tests actually demonstrate what will happen to aver age bales of cotton handled in the same fashion, and do not represent ex ceptional cases. Many practical illu strations could be cited to support the result of each test. While the growers and handlers of cotton are most vitally interested and will benefit .chiefly by. heedirg the warning given by these facts, the railroads also are concerned--direct ly, because of the liability of claims arising from damaged cotton, and in directly because the interests of a great class of producers and shippers and the interests of the railroad are common.
