 We expect to put about sl0000o into the plant in Montgomery and to use the other Sl00.000 we will raise as working capital It is probable that a small amount of this S200.000 will be subscribed in Birmingham but when we are ready to erect more plants more of the stock will be disposed of. Montgomery will subscribe s25,0OO to- wards this first plant as the Montgomery people were anxious to get the plant es- tablshed there. It will be enlarged later as the plan works itself out and as it proves successful.

". P. G.

At this meeting it was decided to establish the first demonstra ting plant in Montgomery. It will cost about slOO,00o.
 In speaking of the meeting and the plans of the company, Mir Harding said;
 "The press dispatches made mistake in what they stated. Birmingham was not making fight to secure the location of this demonstrating plant, for we recog- nized the fact that we do not raise enough cotton in this immediate vicinity to fur nsh the plant with stalks We would have had to use the railroads too much in se- curing the stalks, and that would have added to the expense of the plant.
 We choose Montgomery as that city is situated in the center of country that produces very fine stalks in large quanti- ties, and because other conditions were favorable Should this plant in Montgom- cry prove a success we will establish number of them in the south.
