Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cotton Plant: Its History, Botany, Chemistry, Culture, Enemies, and Uses The fact that only a very small fraction of the annual crop fails to reach a market in its raw state explains why we have a more continu ous and authentic history of the cultivation of cotton in the United States than of any other important product. The ordinary fluctuations to which cotton growing in the United States is subject have been well exemplified in the last ten years, as shown by the following tables.

This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cotton Plant in Egypt Studies in Physiology and Genetics This book has been written with the purpose of abstracting the results of a series of researches made upon cotton plants in Egypt, which investigations, though diverse, were connected by the desire to know all that could be learned about the plant itself. Portions of these inquiries have appeared in various journals, but most of the material here utilised has not yet been published. Where it may appear to the reader that a conclusion necessitates much fuller data than is placed before him, I can only ask his clemency until such time as a fuller monograph shall be written.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Arrangement of Parts in the Cotton Plant The leaves of the cotton plant are not set at random along the stalks and branches, but are regularly arranged in ranks and spirals. In plants Of normal growth it is usually easy to see that each leaf is directly above or below some other leaf and that there are three, five, or eight of these vertical ranks of widely separated leaves. The regular spiral arrangement Of the leaves is found on the main stalk and the vegetative branches. It is not apparent on the fruiting branches, for these have the joints twisted so that the leaves appear to stand in two rows.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Cotton After cotton is harvested, it is trans ported by truck or trailer to the gins where the seed cotton is conditioned and cleaned and the fibers are separated from the seed. The fibers after being separated from the seed are called lint, In a single pound of cotton there may be 100 million or more individual fibers. The lint cotton is pressed and packaged into bales at the gin for convenience in handling and the seed is loaded into trucks or freight cars for ship ment to oil mills. In 1972, almost cotton gins in this country were operated through a season ranging from 3 to 6 months. Many of these gins located in the high production areas operate on a 24 hour, 7-day - week basis. Modern cotton gins are equipped with improved ma chinery for drying and cleaning the seed cotton and for cleaning the lint after it is ginned and before it is packaged into bales.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cotton, Vol. 2 In the following pages I have made a modest attempt briefly to trace the beginnings of the cotton industry from the earliest times down to the present day; to describe the remarkable inventions which from time to time were introduced to the industry and which led to its enormous development, and to mention some of the more serious difficulties which confront those engaged in cotton manufacture at the present time. My aim has been to treat the subject in a popular way, and to avoid technicalities. For facts and figures concerning the early history of the plant I have consulted the classical writers. For a much later period I have been guided by Baines through his standard work, "The History of Cotton Manufacture." I have also been greatly assisted by the writings of the late Mr. John Mortimer on the process of spinning and weaving, and the Reports of the International Cotton Congresses have proved invaluable in relation to the multifarious difficulties and anxieties which attend this great industry to-day.

Download or read book Weevil Resisting Adaptions of the Cotton Plant Classic Reprint written by Orator Fuller Cook and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Weevil-Resisting Adaptions of the Cotton Plant These Opportunities of comparative observation have revealed a series of protective adaptations of such number and nicety as to fur nish a unique and well-nigh incredible instance of selective develop ment. The statement of the former paper may be repeated with emphasis, that the presence of the weevil-eating kelep has enabled the Indians of eastern Guatemala to maintain since very ancient times field culture Of cotton in the presence of the weevils, with the result that there has been developed a dwarf, annual, short-season variety with numerous features which, in the absence of sufficient numbers of keleps, afford material assistance in protecting the crop against the ravages of the weevil. Whether this Guatemalan cotton can be made of direct use in the United States or not, it demonstrates the existence in the cotton plant of weevil-resisting characters. The new variety has lint of good length and quality, so that its utilization in the United States depends upon its adaptability to our climate and methods of culture.

This book was released on 2017-11-19 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Meade Cotton, an Upland Long-Staple Variety Replacing Sea Island The new method of culture is based upon the fact that the cotton plant has two kinds of branches, the vegetative branches, usually called wood limbs in the Southeastern States, and the fruiting branches that bear the flowers and fruits. The wood limbs are like the central stalk, bearing no bolls directly, the bolls being borne on fruiting branches which are later than those of the main stalk. By chopping the cotton a little later and leaving the. Plants closer to gether in the rows the wood limbs are suppressed, thus allowing more plants to stand in the rows without crowding and allowing more fruiting branches to develop and mature an early crop (4) Grow ers of Meade cotton will be interested in the following summary (12 of the single-stalk method and the results that are being obtained.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Vegetable Lamb of Tartary: A Curious Fable of the Cotton Plant, to Which Is Added a Sketch of the History of Cotton Trade AS this little book was originally intended for publication, like its predecessors before-mentioned, as a hand-book in connection with the Literary Department of the South Kensington Exhibitions, I have treated in a separate chapter of the history of cotton, its use by ancient races in Asia, Africa, and America, and its gradual introduction amongst the nations of Europe. The various stages of its progress Westward were so distinctly and intimately de pendent on many remarkable events in the world's history, by which its advance was alternately retarded and facili tated, that the annals of the vegetable wool which holds so important a place amongst the manufacturing industries of Great Britain are hardly less romantic than the fable of T be Vegetable Lamb, which was its forerunner.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wild and Cultivated Cotton Plants of the World: A Revision of the Genus Gossypium, Framed Primarily With the Object of Aiding Planters and Investigators Who May Contemplate the Systematic Improvement of the Cotton Staple A good many years ago Sir E. C. Buck, K.C.S.I., then Secretary to the Government of India in the Department of Revenue and Agriculture, requested me to prepare an account of the cotton plants of the world with a view to assisting the Indian planters. I devoted some time and attention to the subject, during a recess from India, spent at Kew Gardens, and even had some of the illustrations prepared which are now published. The pressure of official duties that devolved upon me on my return to India retarded very greatly the completion of my studies, and perhaps fortunately so, since I was enabled to mature my conceptions of the species and varieties of Gossypium and to verify and amplify my original notes. The present publication thus incorporates the field studies of perhaps twenty years, linked up with the results of a careful re-examination of the collections preserved in some of the chief herbaria of the world. I have to acknowledge a deep debt of gratitude to the former and the present Director of the Royal Gardens, Kew (Sir William Thiselton-Dyer, K.C.M.G., and now Colonel D. Prain, C.I.E.), for much personal kindness and valued encouragement. To the Keepers of the Kew Gardens and the British Museum Herbaria (Mr. William Botting Hemsley and Dr. Alfred Barton Rendle) I am specially indebted for not only giving me every facility to examine but (where I desired) permission to photograph the rich treasures under their charge. To the Council of the Linnean Society of London I have to record my acknowledgments for the ready permission granted me to photograph the Linnean types, and to the Keeper of the British Museum for the corresponding liberty to photograph the types in the Sloane Herbarium and to reproduce Ehret's most interesting and beautiful unpublished sketch of a cotton, which I give as the frontispiece of this work.
