 Relationship of Grade to the Processing Quality of CottonBargeron, J. D.,, Charles K. Bragg and Harvin R. Smith No 313213, Marketing Research Reports from United States Department of Agriculture, Agricultural Marketing Service, Transportation and Marketing Program Abstract: Eleven grades of cotton were processed in three replications from picking through drawing. Six replications were spun from each grade at ring spinning, and three replications were spun from each grade at open-end spinning. Results of fiber tests show a considerable range in properties among the grades, and the grades with the better fiber properties produced the higher quality yarns. Multiple regression was used to determine the effects of grade on yarn quality. Approximately 50 to 70 percent of the variation in yarn quality is attributable to grade. In order to negate the effects of differences in fiber properties among grades, the yarn quality factors were normalized. After the effects of variations in fiber properties were removed, there appeared to be little relationship between grade and spinning performance or yarn quality.
