This grade accounted for 36 percent of classings, the largest proportion since 1958, and compares with 23 percent last year. Grade 41 was the predominant grade in 1987 comprising 30 percent of classings. Grades 31 and higher, at 43 percent, accounted for the largest percentage of classings since 1961 and compares with 27 percent a year earlier. Grades 41 and higher comprised 76 percent of classings. This was the largest percentage in these grades since 1958 and relates to 59 percent in 1987. All white grades made up 82 percent of classings, the largest proportion since 1958, and was up from 70 percent the previous year. Light Spotted grades made up 16 percent of the 1988 crop, the smallest percentage since 1958 when records were established, and compares with 25 percent last year. Spotted grades accounted for 1 percent, down from 3 percent a year ago. Below Grade, Tinged, Stained, and other colored grades made up 1 percent of classings, down from 2 percent last year.

Staple. The average staple length of upland cotton classed from the 1988 crop was 34.5 thirty-seconds inches, down slightly from 34.6 a year earlier. The predominant staple was shared between staples 35 and 36, each accounting for 25 percent of classings. Staple 35 was the predominant length last year accounting for 36 percent of classings and staple 36 comprised 24 percent. Staples 31 and shorter made up 9 percent of classings this season and 3 percent in 1987. Staples 32 and 33 made up 20 percent of the crop, the largest proportion since 1979, and was up from 16 percent last year. Staples 34 and 35, at 36 percent, comprised the smallest proportion since the crop of 1984, and compares with 55 percent in 1987. Staples 36 and longer made up 36 percent of classings, the largest percentage since 1984, compared with 27 percent a year earlier.

Mike. Cotton with mike 35-49 accounted for 87 percent of upland classings from the 1988 crop. This was the largest proportion in this range since 1982 and was up from 80 percent a year earlier. Cotton with mike 34 and lower comprised 10 percent, down from 17 percent in 1987. Cotton with mike of 50 and higher accounted for about 3 percent of the crop and was the smallest percentage since records began in 1965. Average mike was 41, the same as the previous year.

Strength. The average fiber strength of upland cotton classed from the 1988 crop was 25.8 grams per tex. This was the weakest average since 1985 and compares with 27.1 last year. Strengths in the 19 and lower range accounted for 1 percent of classings against less than 1 percent in 1987. Cotton with strengths of 20 to 23 grams per tex made up 17 percent, the largest proportion since 1985, and compares with 8 percent last year. Cotton with strengths of 24 to 27, at 57 percent, contained the largest proportion in this range since 1983 and was up from 51 percent a year ago. About 26 percent of classings had strengths in the 28 and higher range, up from 41 percent the previous year.

Uniformity. The uniformity index for upland cotton classed from the 1988 crop averaged 80.5. Uniformity in the 79 to 81 range, at 59 percent, made up the majority of classings. About 12 percent of classings had a uniformity index of 76 to 78 and about 1 percent of classings measured lower than 76. Uniformity in the 82 to 84 range was 28 percent and about 1 percent of classings measured above 84.

American Pima. The average grade of American Pima cotton classed from the 1988 crop was 3.3 against 3.5 in 1987. Grades 3 and higher made up 65 percent of classings, up from 58 percent last year. Grade 3 was the predominant grade both years, accounting for 57 percent and 48 percent in 1988 and 1987, respectively. The average staple length was 45.5 thirty-seconds inches against 45.6 a year ago. Staple 46 was the predominant length both years comprising 58 percent of classings this season and 80 percent in 1987. Average mike was 39 compared with 40 in 1987. The 1988 American Pima crop set a new record high, 17 percent above the previous record in 1987.

Ginnings of 1988-crop cotton in the United States totaled 14,984,537 running bales, according to the Bureau of the Census. This total includes 14,660,790 bales of upland and 323,747 bales of American Pima cotton. The number of active gins for the 1988 crop was 1,645 against 1,653 for 1987 and 1,662 for 1986.
