Cotton Huggins Slow In speaking with one of the prominent ginners Saturday The Star learns that the cotton bag ging did not go so well lar-t. year and none of the ginner.-, has bought, a supply this year. Farmers were appealed to for patriotic reasons to use cotton bagging in order to help consuhiption of the staple, but cot ton bagging ts higher than jute and weighs less than a third of Jute bagging Farmers prefer jute be eause Jute bagging and ties weigh about 13 pounds and when a bale of cotton is sold, the buyer accepts the bagging and ties at the cotton staple price in other words, 12 pounds Jute bagging and ties sold at the eight, cents a pound, help absorb the cost of ginning It ts therefore to his advantage finan cially to have the heavier Jute bag ging. The gin price agreed on Satin-day is for second hand bagging Farm ers who prefer new bagging will be charged extra. The next meeting of the ginners will he held in the court house in Shelbv on the first Saturday in August next year Grover Native Buried Sunday David Kelly Jackson. Commercial Agent Of P. And V.
