Abstract
ABSTRACT TYPICALLY low relative humidity conditions during harvesting and ginning of cotton on the High Plains of Texas usually result in a lint moisture of 5 to 7 per-cent when the cotton arrives at the gin. Under those conditions it was found that drying cotton, either with or without moisture restoration at the feeder, was dis-advantageous because the dried cotton was generally worth less than the undried cotton. When these losses in bale value were combined with the cost of fuel for the driers, the failure of drying to improve ginning rate, and the adverse effect of drying on fiber and yarn quality, the use of driers was not justifiable under the circumstances encountered in these experiments. Moi-ture restoration after drying and cleaning tended to par-tially offset the bale weight and quality losses, but not the fuel cost disadvantage.

Claim · model-written summary
Low relative humidity during harvest and ginning on the High Plains usually gives cotton a lint moisture of 5 to 7 percent at the gin.
