Excerpt from A Preliminary Report on Cotton Experiments
The A. P. Brantley Company reported as follows: We should say that sample H: has staple quite two inches in length, and is very strong, fine cotton. We consider sample G* to have staple 1 3-4 to 1 7-8 inches in length and is also fine and strong.
We do not think there is any Georgia or Florida cotton in this crop to compare with this cotton. We should think that it would class more nearly with Fine or Extra Fine Islands. We notice that these two grades are quoted in Charleston, S. C., at 22 and 24 cents.
It is quite difficult to estimate the value of this cotton, because it is in a class by itself.
