A New Cotton Compress.

The worlds progress during the
past two centuries has been largely
history Of ,ahor-saTing and time
saving inventions, says the Atlantis
Journal. To this wonderful record
another chapter has been added by
the perfection OF cotton compress
that reduces the size. improves the
quality and greatly economies the
transportation cost Of the cotton
bale. It is called the Neeiy com
press and. according to every !ndica-
ton, It means higher industrial ad-
rancement for all the south. A full
description OF this press was pub
lished in The Times and Democrat
several months ago.
Perhaps the most signal gain made
BY this invention lies in the fact
that II does away with reconp.esg-
ing. Under the old system the far
ueT's wagon load OF cotton must be
hauled to 3 g!naeEy. whence after (
had been ginned and loosely packed.
it must De shipped BY rail 20 s-ssD
compress. frequently over long DIS
taace, to be compressed again. Then
It must take still another trip TO
the port. But under the See!y sys-
ten, the wagon load OF cotton is
compressed at the g!nuery itself 1t
comes forth ready for shipment TO
the remo,est point 10 the world.
This, It Is estimated. means saving
OF not less thar SIS to the bale for
the cost OF reconpressing and re-
handling Is wiped out, while the cos.
Of rail freight. marine freight. bag
ging. tare and many other items Is
greatly reduced.
In addition to this the new ginnery
compress vastly improves the pack
age IN which cotton IS shipped from
the south. For long years the Amer
ican cotton bale has been sore Ye1-
alton to the foreign market At the
International Cotton congress. held
some years ago at Manchester. Eng

lish. French and German vocabr-
laries have been -ansackec in vain

The new gianery compress salts
hes this very need. The bale it turns
out Is rectangular IN form and meas
ures eighteen BY thirty by fifty
inches. With q density OF thirty
pounds per cubic foot. It Is 50 com
pressed that the bale IS freed from

Whxt the Farm Does.

In lis annual report Secretary
OF Agriculture Wilson says nothing
! short OF onniscience can grasp the
value OF the farm products OF this
year. At no time in the worlds his
, tory has country produced farm
products within one year with 3
value reaching sS.926. 900. 900. which
is the value Of the agricultural pro-
ducts Of this country FOR 1910. This
aroun. Is larger than that Of 1909
by s30s. 100000. an amount OF IN
crease owe. the preceding year which
is small for the more recent years.
The value OF farm products from
1899 20 the present yeaz has been
progressive without interruption. I.
the value OF that census year be re
sarded as 100. the value O: re agri-
cultura! products OF 1900 was 1864;

was 1871: that o. 1903 was 124.s;
that Of 100. was 1898: and that OF
1905 was 1873.
The year 1905 was an extraordi-
nary one for agriculture. both IN
quantity and in value OF production.
The value increased TO 1884. as
compared with 100 representing
1899. In the next year. 1907. the
value Of agricultural products rose
