WEATHER Loss
TO COTTON HIGH
Importance Of Putting
Every Bale In Ware
house Stressed

Americas banks have received the
following letter from the Atlanta
Commercial Exchange, ]. Hope Tig-
nor, secretary, regarding the impor-
ttance Of proper protection in ware
house fl heqtton:
We Wish to call you attention to
the very serious situation confront
ing you and the cotton interest of
the state in regard to weather dam
aged cotton.
All the cotton merchants of At
lanta have notified their road men
not to receive any weather damaged
cotton as it is impossible to estimate
the weather damage until the bale
reaches its final destination at the
mill, where the total damage claimed
by the mill is rehilled back to the
cotton merchant making the ship
ment, who must suffer the loss.
Weather damage can easily be
avoided by the farmer placing his
cotton under dry shelter up off the
wet ground or more safely protect
ing it from weather, fire and rob-
berry by placing every bale in a ware
house.
There are thousands of bales of
cotton lying out in the winter wealth
er today flat on the ground abso-
iutely unprotected, while the care
less owner promises every day to
move it under shelter, until weeks
and months pass, then the damage
has been done and he will very prob
ably find no market for his cotton at
all as the cotton merchants are de-
Ginning to handle any cotton showing
weather damage" q,
