Abstract: Excerpts from the report Summary: This study illustrated that fiber moisture restoration gives good protection against certain losses of fiber properties attributable to severe drying. However, the combination of severe drying followed by the restoration of moisture is considered to be a less satisfactory practice than that of drying cotton to its proper moisture level through adequate controls. If the latter is done, restoration of moisture is not necessary. The proper function of restoring moisture at the gin is to raise the moisture level of cotton that was brought to the gin too dry for proper ginning.
