. Study of fabrics. the middle of March andending the first half of May. Ten or eleven weeks after the planting, theshrub is ready to bloom. The flower has fivepetals, yellow at the base and growing lighterin color at the edges. When the flower dropsoff, a dark green pod is seen which increasesin size and finally discloses a mass of downywhite fibers in which are imbedded the darkbrown or black seeds. The cotton is picked assoon as ripened and separated from the seedsby a process known as ginning. The seeds arehulled and the kernel put through a hydraulicpress which squeezes all the oil from it, leav-ing the meal, which is used as feed for cattle.The refined oil is used as a substitute for oliveoil, the residue being used as soap stock. After the cotton is ginned it is baled andshipped to the mill, the standard size of a cottonbale in the United States being 56 by 24 by 32inches and weighing about five hundred pounds.The bales are wrapped in bagging and strappedwith sheet-iron bands. When the cotton ar-. COTTON 11 rives at tho mill the bales are broken and thecotton starts upon its journey, passing through, various processes until it is converted into yarn.The first step consists in giving the cotton athorough cleaning, which is accomplished by aseries of machines which pull the wads of cot-ton into shreds, beat out the dirt and any seedsleft in, and finally leave the cotton in the formof batten upon the cylinders. From here thecotton goes to the carding machine where it iscombed to straighten the fibers and remove anyremaining foreign material and also some ofthe short fibers. Then it goes into the combingmachine which casts aside as waste all fibersbelow a certain length, passing the rest on tothe drawing machine where the fibers are laidperfectly straight and parallel and the cottondrawn out as much as possible without break-age. The combing process is omitted unlessthe cotton is being prepared for especially fineor high grade materials. Several intermediate steps
