      abstract = {Excerpts from the report:  Industry has developed two  methods of increasing the moisture content of cotton during  ginning—the spray method and the vapor method.  In the  spray method, a mist of water is sprayed on the seed cotton  and the cotton held until the moisture is absorbed by the  fibers before it is metered into the gin stands.  In the  vapor method, the seed cotton is held in warm air of very  high relative humidity until the moisture is absorbed by  the fibers before being metered into the gin stands.  The  objectives of this research were to determine the effects  on the ginning and spinning performance and fiber and yarn  quality of the two methods of seed cotton moisture  conditioning by adding or restoring moisture to dry fibers  after cleaning but before ginning.},
