Shippers of cotton often suffer
heavy loss, owing tothelr cotton being
sent to the ttpickery" after delivery
in New Orleans, where the bale
goes through a general ,overhauling,
stained cotton removed and rotten
bagging renewed. This loss could
be greatly reduced, if not wholly
prevented, if our ginners, would
only exercise little more care in
handling the bales. Parallel scant-
ling or t'skids' of 4 by 4 lumber
should be laid on the ground, and
the cotton placed on top, which !
would keep it out of the mud, and
permit a free ventilation of air be-
meath. OF course this would only
apply to such bales as are thrown
on the ground awaiting delivery.
We trust that those gins that do not
already follow this plan, will make
arrangements to do SO the coming
season, and thereby save their
patrons this great loss.
