MESA G|N ID START l
 OPERATIONS TODAY

MESA, Aug. 31-The Attaway- Phelps gin in Mesa will commence operations Thursday, according to Manager E. G. Attaway. marking the beginning of ginning operations in z the Mesa district for the 1921 season. A quantity of seed cotton is already on hand at the plant and 1t is expect ed that enough will continue to roll in from now on to keep the plant busy the greatef part of the time and to enable it soon to attain its capac- ity of 50 bales per day.
 The Attaway gin is equipped with 24-gin stands and the entire plant is operated by four motors ranging in horsepower from five to 50. Two new cleaners have been installed in the plant this summer which will enable them to turn out much cleaner and better grade cotton.
 In line with other ginning conn., panies in the valley the Attaway- Phelps company is urging the grow CTS to pick their cotton clean. It means al least one grade better cot- ton and greater profit to the grower, when the produce is sold. Seed cot ton thus far brought in to the gins is unusually dirty it is said, and every efort will be put forth to encourage | the farmers to take pains and pick their cotton clean.
 MT. Attaway stated Wednesday | that possibilities for a cotton market in the near future were good There is already some demand for cotton. and it is believed that purchasing firms will be in the market daily at no far distant date.
