No rain has come to the relief of the farmers in the early producing section of Texas, and students of the staple are now about ready to admit that the chances for early new crop movement from that part of the belt have been pretty well cooked. Heavy rains in the immediate future would, of course. be beneficial. but they could not restore the month that has been lost and every day of their continuance would merely add to the already abnormal delay.
 In this connection. interesting ad- vices from Waco were to this effect:
 Conditions in Texas today are all most identical with those of early March, 1907, when we had passed a winter without sufficient moisture and now too much rain at planting time Is feared" "
 The Texas crop of 1907 was 2.250.0O0 bales. as against 4,050.000 in 1906, when the winter rainfall was adequate. Thus this new crop outlook inherently bullish. favorably affects the old crop situation.

THE LINK AND PIN

be too much to state, but the future
should bring the proof. The reduc-
ton In present ton cost of labor to
one-sixth, and the saving of $1,000
per annum for each switch engine
eliminated, and the quicker movement
of the whole freight transportation
system are all deserving of study
and no light consideration, it was
stated.
OF the matter of investment for
conveying machinery, Mr.. Harding
said:
"This all important question
should be determined by the engineer
in charge in conjunction with an in
dependent engineering expert on the
subject, SO as to secure the best re-
suits from the several manufacture
ers. What can it do per dollar?' il
the logical way to decide the ques-
ton of investment. An investment
of 100000 should save $4,000 ,as
gross and $4,000 net. To neglect
such an investment is not the best
management, as money can be bor-
rowed on a 5 per CEN basis. If a
freight station handling 1000 tons
OF freight daily can save 10 cents
only per ton, this would be $4,000
tt
per year and would justify an in
vestment of $4,000. Machinery to
do the same work at a less cost
would show an increased return on
the investment. In general, the in
vestment can be four or five times
the yearly gross saving. If a freight
station loads and unloads 100 tons
per day, it can install a small plant
proportional to it's needs and then
add to the original plant as the vol
ume of freight increases. AS the ex-
pense per ton for these smaller sta
lions is proportionately higher than
for those larger, it is safe to
a saving of 20 cents per ton. This
would mean a gross saving of $4,000
per annum, a net saving of $4,000.
On a 20 per cent basis even for a
small station this would permit of an
investment of $4,000. Such a plant
could easily handle 200 tons. These
figures are not given as costs OF
plants, but as a guide to the re-
turns from the investment. Such a
small plant would need only one
main tr~ansferer, sufficient to span
two or four tracks, with two
transferers. Not much more than
a fair sized travelling bridge crane
for a machine shop"
