Abstract
A seed cotton drying system of the parallel flow tower type, having vertically spaced horizontal shelves alternately extending from opposite sides of the tower to locations near but spaced from the opposite side to define a continuing zig zag cotton flow path from the top of the bottom through which the cotton travels impelled by the conveying heated air. The spacing of the shelves increases from the top to the bottom, and fresh hot air is introduced between the shelves where there is an increase in shelf spacing.
