Cotton soluble sugars

Sodium is an indispensable element for some crops (notably sugar beet), can partially substitute for potassium in several crops, contributes to neutralizing soil and subsoil acidity, and has a positive effect on soil phosphorus solubility. Sodium is an essential nutrient for cattle, and sodium application to soil increases its content in pastures. Sodium nitrate is particularly effective as a nitrogen source for sugar beet, vegetable crops, tobacco, and cotton (qv), and for any crop in acid soils. 

Well, if glucose and sugar are soluble in water, would not cotton (cellulose) be also soluble in water because its constituent, glucose, is soluble It would be so, because it has a lot of OH groups that can interact with water. The fact of the matter is that, however, cellulose (cotton) is not soluble in water. Why We come to that later. But the fact that cellulose would interact with water, i.e., it has an affinity toward water, is suggested by the observation that paper towel, which is made of cellulose, sucks up water.
