Last Tuesday afternoon the
editor made a trip out to the j.

work of Thomas Mccall, who re-
centlysgraduated from the State
Agricultural college at Manhata

grain stacker and is the product
of a number of years of hard
work and at last his hopes are re
allied and will result in the revo-
luton of late harvesting methods.
The machine is about six feet

COTTON CROP DAMAGE
 IS NOT VERY HEAVY

Meridian, Miss. April 2S.-(speeial.) While the recent cold wave did consid- erable damage to growing crops the estimate now seems to dwindle some what from the first news brought in from the farming districts in and around Meridian. It was authoritative ly stated today by several farmers that while this cotton, such as was out of the ground, was killed, the entire loss would not reach more than 30 per cent. They further stated that in their opin- ion only about one-third of the crop had been planted. Large orders are coming in for cotton seed. Orders range in volume from one hundred bushels to carload. Most of the or ders have been filled, but according to merchants the available supply of seed will not last long.

 The building and plans committee, as announced, has secured the services or H. B. Wheelock, a well known local architect, and expects to have the pre- liminary drawings ready in a few weeks. After thorough comparison of these plans with the most modern and complete association buildings the final design and arrangement for the Birmingham building will be decided upon.
 The subscribers to the new building fund have responded most heartily to the notice of the first payment, which was sent out early in March, many subscribers paying the first installment and large number paying in full.
 The four payment installment plan covering period of two years, adopt ed by the campaign committee, nam ing April l and October l, 1910, and April 1 and October l, 1911, as the dates of payment, is regarded as hav- ing many advantages and it is point. ed out that if all subscribers will ad- here to this plan it will hasten the letting of the contract and the work of construction.

STRANGE INCREASE
 OF A DESERT LAKE

San Bernardino, Cal, April 2S.zThs strange increase of Silver lake, on tne desert is puzzling engineers connected with the Tonopah and Tidewater rail road and giving them a hard fight to save the tracks from inundation.
 The lake is where the Fl Mohave river makes it's reappearance after flowing beneath the desert from a point near Daggett, where it suddenly drops into the sands. The engineers are in clined to believe that the volume of water now yelling up in the middle of the lake comes fromea source not con- neeted with the Fl Mohave.
 Dykes have been erected to protect the tracks from the rapidly rising wa ter and a pumping plant is being in. stalled to throw the water over a low range of hills into the desert beyond.
