UPLANDS COTTON
Cotton grown in Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Virginia Tennessee, and the higher lands of the cotton district in the U.S.A. The cotton is soft and clear, but rather short in staple, used principally for weft yarns up to 50's. The Upland type of cotton constitutes the bulk of the American crop, and is perhaps the most useful cotton grown. The staple averages 7/8-in. to 1-in.
