done we'll this season and promises
to make some very material exten-
sions, Tor expansions) for the

siderable dihaculty in getting all
necessary cars for transporting
seed cotton to the gin. This has
caused some Inconvenience, being
unable to house the seed cotton at
shipping points.
With what has been turned out
and the amount Of seed cotton on
hand and promised, this gin will
have turned out 900 bales by the
close Of the season.
This institution entered the cot
ton buying field this fall for the
