According TO am interview hir. wRshburn

producers of the South into one great co
operative trust with headquarters at st.
Louis, and central warehouses In Memphis.
He said that he had been selected for this
mission because OF the special study he
has made OF cooperation from business
mans standpoint md that In his judgment
the only way to meet tho capitnllstic cot
ton and wheat trusts was to organize bet
ter and bigger ones Ia tho interests Of tho
producer. Mr.. Washburn said that the

Rains Fell All Around the State, but

Washington July 30-The rains in the
corn belt today We're considerably less than
during the past forty-elght hours, but they
fell where they were most needed, that Is
IN Southwestern Ohio and Southern llii'
nols. There were also good rains in Ten
nessee and Arkansas and more showers
in Missouri, Iowa, Eastern Nebraska and
Eastern Kansas. Singularly enough though
rain fell around the State of Indiana there
was not any precipitation of Importance
within her boundaries.
The central portion OF the corn belt OF
Texas Is still without nluchneeded rain.
Prospects generally are for fair weather
in the corn belt now with warmer weather
west Of the Mississippi and on THURSDAY
warmer weather east of the river Iem'

change during the past twenty-four hours
