HAUL TO GIN. 
The comparatively low hauling distance in Ellis County, Tex., 
(Table XX XVIII) is due to the fact that there are many, small gins 
located at different points in the district. The normal man labor 
requirement for hauling to the gin ranged from 1.8 hours per acre 
in Rusk County, Tex., to 7.2 hours per acre in Barnwell County, S. C.

MARKET LINT. 
At the time these records were obtained a portion of the lint was 
still in the hands of the grower. Some lint was sold at the gin imme- 
diately after picking. A portion of the crop was placed in cotton 
warehouses. This explains in part the fact that only 51 per cent of 
the total number of growers gave estimates concerning the mar- 
keting of lint. (See Table XX XIX.)
