Page this afternoon issued the following order: Cottonseed crushers, dealers ginners and individuals are pro hibited from purchasing cotton seed effective Thursday Oct. 17, through October 26, from cotton ginned within those days." This order is in lieu of a fur ther "closedown" order and is in the hands of crushets, deal ers and ginners as might result in loss of food and feed value through heating where the seed were improperly stored or dam- it .t agea wnere tne cottonseed are exposed. .The new order means that while for the present gins will not be required to close down, they will not be able to gin except for farmers whj are in position to take care of their own seed. Seed in the hands of dealers and ginners on the morning of the 17th. will be allowed to move i on to the crushers, The crush ers meanwhile are urged by the Food Administration to speed up their operations to the utmost so as to obviate any possibility of having seed damaged on their hands through storage in too great bulk and to be able to take care of the situation when the present order expires on the 26th. instant. By the order of the State Food Administrator the ginnery of A. L Jackson ofAydenwas closed to-day because of its violation of the rule of the Food Administra tion which prohibits the waste of cottonseed from improper storage, it being reported that Ms. Jackson had allowed his storage capacity to overflow and had piled several tons of cotton seed in the open.
