Table Showing Percentage of Parts of Upland Cotton Plant 



In general there are two pounds of seed produced for each 

 pound of ginned lint. Short staple upland seed cotton producing 

 35 to 38 per cent, of lint may be considered high, 29 to 32 per 

 cent, low, while above 38 or below 29 per cent, may be consid- 

 ered very high or very low respectively. Sea island cotton 

 formerly produced only 20 per cent, of lint, but varieties have 

 been selected until 30 or more per cent, is obtained in some 

 instances. Long staple upland cotton generally ranges from 

 27 to 32, usually less than 30 per cent.
