Every bale pressed in the factory shall be marked with a serial number and with the mark prescribed for the factory (sect. 4). The owner of every cotton ginning and pressing factory shall submit to the prescribed authority weekly reports specifying the total number of bales of cotton pressed or the quantity of cotton ginned during the preceding week and from the commencement of the season to the end of that week, and the approximate average net weight of the bales pressed in that week (sect. 5).
