Abstract: Excerpts from the report Introduction: Based largely on implications of the 1965 study, this larger study was designed to evaluate the effects of lint color on other fiber properties, manufacturing performance, and yarn properties when color differences were generated by field exposure in cottons of widely different levels of foreign matter. Specific objectives of the test were: (1) to determine the relationship of color to other fiber properties, to spinning performance, and to yarn quality; (2) to determine the extent to which foreign matter content affects color determinations; and (3) to recommend specific ways in which present methods of using color and foreign matter to establish relative use values could be improved, if a need for improvement were implied.
