Evaporation Can Be Prevent BY

(By A. B. GRAHAM. Ohio state unis

II every farmer were Compelled to
haul and pour over each acre Of his
farm over 200 barrels Of water per
day, he would gain some conception
of the amount Of moisture evaporated
from an exposed, uncultivated soil. at
this season az the year. This evapor-
alton varies according to the kind and
condition of the soil weather, locaa

Now is the time to prevent this
loss, Soil moisture Ii. valuable Past
records show that an inch Of rainfall
In July means $5,000,0O0 worth Of
corn to the state OF Ohio While
farmers cannot make an inch ot rain

OF soil moisture over from May Until
July, and that means the same thing
An inch of rainfall means liz tons
Of water per acre If this is allowed
to escape at the rate Of 200 barrels
per day 1t will require only qr
days to lose the entire inch Every
farmer who fails to prevent this
evaporation is losing his share Of that
$5.0O00O0. Are you one of the losers?
How can this evaporation be pre-
scented? BY cultivating the soil Keep

From the Columbus Enquirer-Sun>
Announcement from Macon two
days agoof the organization pf u So
900, 900 concern, known as the Sou
thern Cotton Corporation, for the
purpose of marketing cotton at a fair
price, came as something Uf a our
prise At the head Of the organiza-
tion.is George Dole Wadlcy, d we'll
known Georgian, and a number Of
Others Of prominence in business and
financial circles.
The Macon Telegraph says the
purpose Of this corporation is not to
corner the cotton market but to
sell it at a fair price, and to prevent
aglut in the early months after the
crop begins to move, In other
words, Z continues The Telegraph,
the purpose is TO put tire cetton on
the market just.as the mills need II,
and to eliminate spectators and a
large number Of people who handle
cotton at more or less expense to the
producer between the farmers And
the mills, commonly known as the
middle men, The Macon Telc-
graph further says;
''TAis plan, as We gather it, Is
far~NacANsg but not complex, The
cooperation will capitalize at ST.
GOO, 900, It's shareholders, difec-
tors and committees Will go into
every one of the one Thousand cotton
counties, They will make their own
estimates, Of each crop, fix fair
valuation for the same---not an ex-
brilliant price--they will not try to
corner the cotton and squeeze the
mills-and then they will gather a
controlling percentage oil the crop in
the warehouses and hold for The
price named.
Ia order to be able TO hold they
will issue bankable scrip, or certi-
icate OF cotton deposit% equal to
IS per cent~of the price demanded
for the cotton BY the Cotton Cor
poration.
''This Cotton Corporation will be
allied with the National Bank Audit
Company whichis now forming with
headquarters in Washington, d. c.,
which viii afford sufficient capital
and bank backing to finance the
scheme,
Mr., George Dole Wadley is well
known in Georgia and throagho
the country, He is an extensive
planter, has been highly connected
in railroad building and manage
ments, and other affairs He isaac
customed to handling large affairs. =
It is a great undertaking and The
Telegraph expresses the belief that
it can be successfully worked out on
strictly business principles.
