the purpose OF the Board OF Directors
OF YOUR Association to dictate as to
whether you should stop At this price
or demand larger price for your
goods. On the other hand II you have
q basis OF g. so offered, 1t will not be
the fault OF the Association If you do
not sold, and in consequence carry it
longer.
Present indications are that the
coming season will see very much
larger acreage planted than at any
previous time in the history OF the
industry. This means more rice to
get rid of within the six months period
This means more earnest efforts on
/ the part OF the menbers'ot the South :
ern Rice Growers Association, and
no less degree of LOYALTY then has
beondisplayed. &here is noreason Why
a larger crop than has ever been grown
could not be marketed at q profitable
price provided it is done through
Your Association, and with your help
and cooperation, but without coop
GRAFTON you know what tie result
would be.
We must now proceed to lay plans
for the future. We must have moro
men in the employ OF the Association.
We must correct all the mistakes
which have been made as nearly as it
is possible To be able to en- 10y the
men who are wanted, we must do so in
advance of other institutions. The
oaly basis upon which these men can
be secured is the contracts on hand
for the coming tyo years. With con

The condition of the rice market for
this season as compared TO other
years has been most gratifying in.
deed. It would seem as if your 10y
ality to your own institution and YOUR
determination to stand by the ed!cts
of your Board of Directors has, al
most il not entirely, won the dav as
TO the price Of rice. The Establish
ment OF confidence all along the lines
is the one object which YOUR organ
igaslen started out 10 accomplish, and
We believe this year we have accomp-
lished this to the very fullest extent
OF the word, because there has been
more clean rice distributed during
the months of September, October. and
November 1911, than ia any previous
three months period in the whole his
tory Of the rice business; namely over
5000, 600 pockets, This has never been
accomplished 10 past years because OF
the buyers believing that by waiting
few days longer they might possibly
buy cheaper. BY YOUR EFFORTS
YOU HAvE MADE THEM PAY
j MORE BY WAITING, and you have
established sufficient confidence in the
stability Of the rice market that buyers
have bought heavily in all parts OF
the United States. The confidence is
manifested further BY the disposition
of people &ll over the rico belt to &C
into the rice business. Landlords,
bankers, business men, and well-to-dc
planters are going into the rice bust
uess for the year 1912 who have never
had anything to do with rice before
The comman expression is; at il
looking good to US. We sec a brish
future in the rice business.
We have sold considerable rice OF

CEMENT AS SILO FOUNDATION
Plans and Details Given Of Huge Re-
ceptacIe for Storage Of Feed
Important to Have Level.

Drive a stake in the center Of the
spot located for the silo; the top of this
stake should be level with the desired
height of foundation. Spike board
or bar, having a length OF little
more than one-half the diameter Of
the silo, on this stake, then nail on
two cleats with points one foot apart,
as In figure A, says the Kansas
Farmer. This will serve as a guide
In marking OF line on the ground
where the foundation wall is to be

Dig out the earth, as in figure B, to
the desired depth you wish the foun-
dalton wall This should be IL to IS
inches deep in order to secure a good
footing. Pack this ditch full Of con-
crete "a good mixture can be made
by using one part Portland cement,
three parts sand, and one part broken
rock, or another mixture Is one part
cement and four parts sand) to the
level Of the ground; then drive short
stakes about outside and inside edge
around, making form, as in figure G.
be sure 10 gel inc surface VI yum
foundation level, or your silo won't go
up straight. This is important.
It Is good plan to set four bolts
In foundation wall, about four inches
from outside, which can be used for
anchoring down the bottom Of the silo
and prevent it from skidding of the
foundation in heavy wind.
1t is not necessary to put cement

Scratch line around the top sur

In this construction cement blocks,

be used with greater convenience than
