Cotton Gins Stopped for One Week.
New Orleans, Sept. Is, 1918.
Goodwyn, Parish Food Administrator,
Colfax, La.
Effective this Friday morning
it is the desire of the food ad-
mlnistration that ginning opera
tons in this State be discontinue
ed for the period of one week.
We consider this absolutely nee
essary. owing to congestion at
gins resulting in deterioration of
cotton seed having excessive
moisture content and inability of
railroads to supply empty cars.
1t will also relieve congestion at
oil mills where seeds are in dam
aged condition. causing many
mills to discontinue buying. Ad-
wise farmers to continue picking
cotton. Please make patriotic
appeal to farmers, ginners, seed
dealers and oil mills to conform
strictly to this urgent necessity. 1
