A SYSTEM OF ACCOUNTING FOR COTTON GINNERIES. 



41 



These sample entries show how the ginning tickets should be made 

 up, one for each bale ginned. It should be noted that No. 39771, 

 made out on Form 2a (below), contains the same information as the 

 same numbered ticket made out on Form 2. In the case of Form 

 2a, however, the information is transferred into the ginning register, 

 Form 26, and from there posted to the ginning ledger form 3, whereas 

 the information on Form 2 is posted direct to the ledger from the 

 duplicate.
