| Abstract: | As a matter of public interest and in order to furnish a more complete description of the standards, a brief review is here given of American cotton linters and of the movement leading to the establishment of standard grades for the commodity under the authority of the cotton standards act. Cotton has been defined as "the vegetable hair removed from cottonseed in the usual processes of ginning," and cotton linters as "the vegetable hair removed from cottonseed in processes subsequent to the usual processes of ginning." This hair or residual fiber called linters is usually recovered by intensive ginning or delinting as a step in the preparation of cottonseed for crushing. |
