Abstract
The use of highway, railway and waterway transportation for the movement of cotton within each of six major cotton producing areas in Texas and between the different areas was considered in this study. The information gathered was then used to establish transportation patterns and measure the flow and amount of transportation generated by the production of cotton in each area. The transportation required to grow the crop and the movement of the seed cotton from the farm to the gin are not considered in this report.|This study was made to show the amounts of various kinds of transportation that are required to process and market the Texas cotton crop. It is also intended to point up the great dependence of even a basic industry such as cotton upon a well developed and integrated transportation system. This is the first report of a continuing study of the transportation uses and preferences of Texas industries.
