 the destriction ')f cotton stainers in and in the neighbnr- 

 hoo<l of cotton ginneries and .s'.orehoiwes. The Cotton 

 Ordinance e-tablishe-i a close -ieason for cotton in the tsland- 

 of .St. Kitt^. -Vevi-s, and .Angailla.

 A,B,C, and D. The close .season variei with the district, 

 being aboat six weeks in duration in each case, the da'es 

 beine fixed for the three districts A,B,C Thedate.s given are 

 iJistrict A from Keoraary 15 to Mar;h 31; District B, Ja.nu- 

 aiy 15 to February "JS: Liistrict C, I.»ecember 15 to .Jaonary 

 31. In district D, and in the islands of Nefi« and Anaailla. 

 the close season is to oe tixed by pi rjclajnation. 



In Moiitserrat. the (jotton Stainer Ordinance, N 

 i,Jl.% dated .August 20. 191*. a -so : ■.lows the similar ')t i.- 

 ance of St. Vincent, and like that anJ '.he Cotton Stait-
