29 CFR 780.804 - ``Ginning'' of cotton.

  • Section Number: 780.804
  • Section Name: ``Ginning'' of cotton. 
    The term ``ginning'' refers to operations performed on ``seed 
cotton'' to separate the seeds from the spinnable fibers. (Moore v. 
Farmer's Manufacturing and Ginning Co., 51 Ariz., 378, 77 F. 2d 209; 
Frazier v. Stone, 171 Miss. 56, 156 So. 596). ``Seed cotton'' is cotton 
in its natural state (Burchfield v. Tanner, 142 Tex. 404, 178 S.W. 2d 
681, 683) and the ginning to which section 13(b)(15) refers is the 
``first processing'' of this agricultural commodity (107 Cong. Rec. 
(daily ed.) p. 5887), which converts it into the marketable product 
commonly known as ``lint cotton'' (Wirtz v. Southern Pickery Inc. (W.D. 
Tenn.) 278 F. Supp. 729; Mangan v. State, 76 Ala. 60, 66) by removing 
the seed from the lint and then pressing and wrapping the lint into 
bales.
