Abstract: Excerpts from the report: The destinations to which cotton is shipped from the widely dispersed Cotton Belt are determined by a number of factors. Among these are the proximity of the producing region to the consuming center or port, the qualities of the cotton produced in the particular region, and the quality requirements of the destinations. Little information has been available as to the major destinations to which specific producing regions ship cotton. Similarly, only fragmentary information has been available on the relative importance of railroads and motortrucks in the movement of cotton in these regions. The intent of this article is to show the major destinations to which cotton was shipped from the producing regions in 1961-62 and to indicate the relative importance of rail and truck shipments.
