Hello all:

I'm currently trying to classify a cotton sample using the Chenhall 
classification system.  For those of you who are not familiar with them,  
cotton samples are plugs of cotton, a little smaller than a football, that 
are taken from a bale of cotton to determine its monetary value by looking 
at the quality of the cotton fibers.  Ours has a brown paper wrapper so it 
looks sort of like a bundle of yarn with its wrapper. Any ideas from the 
agricultural museums out there?

Also, is there such a thing as a nomenclature or classification listserv 
for me to post these types of questions to, so that I don't have to bother 
everyone on the list?

Thanks!
