Ask them to go where they, I canned peaches this summer and pick . up the seed as the Government is in need of them for making gas masks for our boys over there. Impress this ^ upon tis.m. You can turn them over to the Red Cross Chapters or the County Food Administrator. To All Cotton (Rimers uml Seed ^ Dealers. 1 learn that many ginners are not protecting cotton seed. "Rule 1. The licenses shall not receive any commodities specified in his c license in excess of his facilities to ^ store same and shall not store ou a the irroinxt <u- in om- rniwii... ? (1 damage or waste will tend to result u other place in Aich a manner that f to such commodities from weather or other causes." a j If this rule is violated the offenders a licento will certainly be revoked. A Further, seed should not be loaded in cars before the seed is sold. The 7 mills are overcrowded with se?d and c the cars will be on demurrage if not p sold. t Kather than violate the rules, glnners should stop ginning. There is i; much danger to the seed because it is j? being maPketed faster than the mills > can handle it. j, The farmer must protect his own jy seed if the ginrrer cannot. I* j County Food Administrators and f Local Representatives. > The effect of stablizing the price of > cotton s?jd has been to create a tre! mendous rush of aued to the market, n Many of the oil mills already havq > all the seed they can handle, and a ?, constant constat.t rush of seed crea- ^ tes the impression that tise oil mills ^ are not buying. ^ t At $72.00 per ton it requires a ^ very large amount of money to fin- ^ ance the seed, and the mills are not * P'ptpared to pay for such large quan- * titles. " A::ny ginners are loading seed from * their gin h<u.ses into cars without * ha> iug the seen sold. This is bad and should be stopped. ? W'e urge that you use all your ef- fm-ts to stop tlae ruah of seed to the ? market p.s otherwise the seed will heat ? and result in injury to the farmer. J Please also urge farmers to haul ; rtcal back ironi the mills. Many mills haw meal for 3ale now, whereas in s tltc spring tne tueai will be short. t The suggestions in this bulletin are c most important. c JOE CABELL DAVIS. I County Food Administrator, !
