Table IV gives the results of trie waste determinations as found in the textile-school tests. These figures were computed in the same manner as those in Table II. Net weights were used in making cal- culations, the tare not being included. Since approximately 50 pounds from each bale were used in the textile-school tests, the num- ber of different bales of each grade represented is shown by the total weight given for each grade.

Net weights were used in making cal- culations, the tare not being included. Since approximately 50 pounds from each bale were used in the textile-school tests, the num- ber of different bales of each grade represented is shown by the total weight given for each grade. The waste percentages of the five grades from the different zones are placed side by side in order to facilitate Fig. 5.—The visible waste percentages of five grades of cotton from the different zones. (Textile school tests.) A close analysis of these percentages shows that the waste has a consistent relationship to the grade of the cotton. The percentages of invisible waste, however, are neither as uniform nor as consistent as are the percentages of visible waste. (See discussion of Moisture, page—.) Figure 5 represents graphically the percentages of visible waste in the cotton originating from each of the five zones and of the five grades tested from each zone. Figure 6 likewise represents the per- centages of visible and invisible waste combined. There is rela- tively little variation between the percentages of waste in cotton of the same grade-from the different zones. The average percentages of total waste from the five grades from the Piedmont Plateau, Atlantic Coastal Plains, eastern Gulf Coastal Plains,.
