These photographs of the Clemson Fiber Laboratories were furnished 
through the courtesy of Mr. John M. Cook, Senior Fiber Technologist in 
Charge (shown in photo above, standing). We are reproducing them here to 
illustrate the tests to which our breeding material is subjected in our program 
of breeding cotton for imvroved fiber and spinning quality.

Photo above shows testing cotton for length with use of fibrograph, also 
testing for strength by Pressley Tester, and using Suter-Webb sorters in 
making arrays from which length and length uniformity will be determined. 
These sorted fibers are also used in determining the fineness and maturity. 
Photo below, reeling yarn into skeins for testing purposes. Also testing 
skeins of yarn for strength and size or count.
