Excerpt from Cotton Its Uses, Varieties, Fibre Structure, Cultivation, and Preparation for the Market and as an Article of Commerce, Also the Manufacture of Cotton Seed Oil, Cotton Seed Meal and Fertilizers: With Especial Reference to Cotton Growing, Ginning, and Oil Pressing in the United States Considering that cotton is the greatest of all fibre crops and the most widely manufactured of all textiles, the attention which has been given in textile literature to the botany of the plant, to the structure of the fibre, and to the numerous processes through which it passes before its arrival at the mill, has been meagre in the extreme and especially small in proportion to the attention that has been given to descriptions of the after processes of manufacture. Among the many subjects of great importance to all engaged in, or associated with, cotton manu facture, which have hitherto not been made the subject of special study from a manufacturer's point of view, except in very few instances, are the growth and cultivation of the cot ton plant, plowing, sowing, cultivating, and harvesting of the crop, the ginning, baling, and compressing of the fibre, and the Shipping and handling of the bales in the markets of the the world; also the manufacture of the many bye products of the cotton seed, such as cotton seed oil, meal, linters, etc., and perhaps the most important of all, a description of the varieties of cotton from all parts of the world, and the char acteristics of each cotton, its suitability for various purposes, the yarns and cloths that can be made from it, and the econ omy that can be attained by an accurate and Skilled selection of cotton for each kind of yarn or goods. Usually these have been passed over by a few sentences in textile text books, Or altogether ignored, but in this volume they are now dealt with very fully.
