Southern Cotton Association adopts five resolutions
The Southern Cotton Association met yesterday and passed five resolutions by unanimous vote. A key measure requires ginners to file monthly reports to the state agricultural department, with penalties including forfeiture of licenses for noncompliance. The plan includes publishing names of nonreporting ginners and sending copies to state departments. Additional provisions establish county agents to secure warehouse space and act as local representatives. A safeguard proposal urges farmers to influence state laws mandating monthly gin reports to the agricultural commissioner, detailing bales ginned and average bale weight. Reports would be wire transmitted to Washington to compile national ginning totals.
