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 waste for Meade fiber is somewhat 
higher with the same organization of the spinning 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.
