Spinning and manufacturing tests of the Meade fiber in compari- 

 son with both the Sea Island and Egyptian cottons have shown that 

 the difference between these fibers, especially in the finer yarns, is so 

 slight as to be practically negligible. 



Although the percentage of Avaste for Meade fiber is somewhat 

 higher with the same organization of the sx)inning machinery, such 

 waste may be reduced, if not avoided altogether, by slight changes of 

 adjustment that would be made for the regular spinning of Meade 

 cotton.
