After consulting with members present, the
language used in my dispatch sent ycster-
day in reference to cotton was agreed upon.
Seed cotton brought into Memphis at this
time to be ginned and baled during the cpl |
demic, it is thought, would be most sue
cessful way of preserving the germ, which
under certain circumstances, might after 4 |
time prove a serions source Of danger to the
in which it might be opened |
