Abstract: Excerpts from the report: Some cotton ginners have reclaimed gin motes for many years. However, only within recent years has it become a widespread practice. Growth in importance of gin motes has been due mainly to their use as a raw material in manufacturing cotton batting. Because of their relatively low price, good resilience, and longer staple length, gin motes have been substituted for types of cotton mill waste which due to changes in mill operations are no longer available, or no longer competitive in price. To alleviate some problems associated with lack of supply and price information for cotton gin motes, objectives of this study were to: 1. Determine the proportion of gins collecting motes, and the handling and disposal practices used. 2. Provide supply information on a district, State, regional, and national basis. 3. Obtain current data on the price of gin motes.
