Abstract: Excerpt from the report: A study was initiated in the fall of 1959 to obtain basic information on the storability of baled cotton in commercial storage facilities, and the possibility of using original samples throughout the marketing process. The specific objectives of the study were to determine (1) the changes in grade, staple length, and color; in fiber, processing, and dyeing properties; and in value of baled cotton during storage; (2) the extent to which original cut samples, stored under the same conditions as bales, reflect changes in quality and value which occur in commercially stored bales; and (3) the effects of origin of cotton, storage location, initial grade, type of density of bale, and length of time in commercial storage on the quality changes in stored bales and samples.
