2 Cotton Rust
An imperfection in raw cotton plants. It appears first as a blood-red spot on the upper surface of the leaf.

The leaf turns red, becomes folded, then turns brown and dry, and finally drops off. The disease starts at the bottom of the plant and spreads upwards until often only the bare stalk is left, when the plant dies. -

6 Absorbent Cotton
Raw cotton treated in such a manner with hot chemical solutions that all fats and adulterants are removed and thus producing a clear pure lint which is used for surgical work. It absorbs moisture rapidly, taking up from 18 to 20 times its own weight. This type is better termed "purified cotton", and is quite free from all visible impurities. On combustion, leaves not more than 0.3 per cent of ash. When compressed in the hand, and thrown on water, it rapidly absorbs the water and sinks. The finest grades of cotton are not used for this purpose owing to the fibres being too long. The stock best suited, appears to be the middling grades of Alien Seed, Texas, New Orleans, Mobile and Benders. Care is exetcised to select cotton free from fragments of hulls and other impurities. -
