Thanks to Our Cooperators

I would like to give a special thanks to our research cooperators. Their trials are grown under typical growing conditions. The trials on their farms are treated just like the rest of their fields. We plant and machine harvest our trials, but they perform all the rest of the farming operations. Their farming techniques may differ from mine and will be very typical for the area. As can be seen from the lint yields they are some of the better producers. These growers are Johnny Hux of Sikeston, Chuck Province of Clarkton and Charles Parker of Senath. We gin the trials on a research size gin equipped with an inclined cleaner, feeder extractor and one stage of lint cleaning. The lint samples are classed on a high volume-classing instrument. It takes a special effort to allow us to be in their way during the busy seasons. Good cooperators like Johnny, Chuck and Charles are difficult to find. When you see them, give them special thanks. The data gleaned from these trials aid all of us in Missouri when we are choosing cotton varieties.
