MUST HAVE PROPER GIN BOX
IF NOT FARMER WILL BE PENAL
TzED ONE DOLLAR A BALE.
CircuIar Letter Calls Attention to
Rule of Steamship Lines That Bales
Must Be of Certain Dimensions.

CircuIar Letter Calls Attention to
RuIe of Steamship Lines That Bales
Nust Be of Certain Dimensions.
Georgia farmers who do not want
to be penalized $1.00 for each bale
of cotton sold for export must see
10 it that their bales are of such d.
mensions that when compressed they
contain a density of not over y p
mounds per cubic foot. At a confer
ence of steamship lines held at New
Orleans it was agreed that the penal
+v for this season on such bales not
coming within the required density
would be penalized one dollar bale.
Last year the penalty was 30 cents
bale.
Circular letters have been sent out
all over the South by the Savannah
Cotton Exchange calling attention to
this ruling of the steamship lines,
and cotton men say that the penalty
will come out of the pockets Of the
farmers.
A standard gin box has been
agreed upon by the steamship lines.
The circular sent out by the Savan-
nah Cotton Exchange says:
Part of the complaint of lack OF
density is due to inferior compress
ing. but a large percentage of such
bales is of such dimensions that it is
absolutely impossible for any com
press to put them within the requir-
ed 221a pounds density. This is due
to the gin boxes being too large, some
running as large as 80 by Y inches,
and no matter how much the bale is
reduced by compression its length
and breadth are such that its density
can never be brought to 22a4 pounds
per cubic foot.
I'm Texas the state law standard
ICES the gin boxes and at the meet
ing of steamship lines above referred
to a standard gin box q by "a inches
was adopted.
freight DOAeS are Dd0Ou OH Oo4N"
from gin boxes 27x54 and 22R
pounds density, and any bale not
coming up to this standard will be
penalized 81 cents per bale. This
will discriminate against cotton bales
coming from gin boxes of large and
irregular sizes and such bales as do
not come up to the standard, and
the farmer whose gin produces such
a bale will finally be the loser"

NO MORE HYMNS WITH JINGLE
Many of the Old Timers, Such As
Throw Out the Life Line" I'm
der Ban of Revisionists.


There will be no more ''curly tall
hymns, rag time" hymns or Ger
man band" hymns in any of the
church hymnals now in general use
if the delegates to the national con-
vention of organists have their way,
says an Asbury Park dispatch to the
New York Sun
Numerous delegates, under the
leadership of DR.. Percy ]. Starnes of
Atlanta went on record against the
retention of such hymns. Some of
the productions of Isaac Watts and
Charles Wesley were criticised. AS
matter of fact, nearly all the old
time favorites that go with a ringle
and jingle are placed under the ban
OF the organists.
DR.. Starnes, who acted as chief
spokesman for the uplift of hymns,
asserts the old time jingles that even
an unmusical soul enjoys are undig-
.nified and should have no place in
church music. They should be con-
signed to oblivion, he believes. One
of the hymns he wants consigned to
the depths is Throw Out the Life
Line"

Hon. Crawford Wheatley, of Ameri-

and furnished and equipped with every
modern convenience. Such a home hac
not before been provided for girls who

DEPTH TO PUT ALFALFA LIME
FARMERS WHO WILL

Agricultural Paper Gives Interesting

Agricultural Paper Gives Interesting
Information on the Subject. When
to Sow Alfalfa in South.
For the benefit of those of Terrell
county and this section who intend
to plant alfalfa The News reproduces
from the Progressive Farmer the fol-
lowing information on the subject:
A reader says it is stated in the
Progressive Farmer that it is mis-
take to pillow under lime for alfalfa;
while in another paper a man recog-
nized as an authority says: IF the
land needs lime plow it under"
The term "plow' is rather indefi-
mite, and may mean putting lime into
the ground at any depth from three
to eight inches. 1t may also be stat
ed that when large quantity is ap-
Piled, such as is frequently done in
preparing for alfalfa, it may be mix
ed with the soil to a greater depth
than when a small quantity is ap-
piled Indeed, for a deep-rooted
plant like alfalfa it is entirely posi-
BILE that it will be an advantage to
put the lime deeper, or at least to
mix it with the top soil to a greater
depth, than in ordinary applications.
But as a general rule the best
plan is to disk the lime into the top
three or four inches of soil.
Some of our readers who read the
Northern agricultural papers ask us
about sowing alfalfa in the spring,
and also about sowing it with nurse
crops like oats, barley or wheat. All
things considered, there is little
doubt that the fall-September l to
October LBS the best period for
sowing alfalfa in the South. Good
results may be sometimes secured
from spring seeding, but it is gen
orally to be discouraged and should
only be practiced when fall seeding
is impracticable.

DEVASTATING DRoUTH BROKEN.


Kansas City.-Rain this afternoon
put an end to the great drouth which
has cost Kansas and Missouri mil
lions of dollars. An accompanying
drop in the temperature brought re-
lief to sweltering millions who have
not known a good nights sleep or a
comfortable day for three weeks. The
rain was general in Kansas and Mis-
souri, with the exception of a few dis
tricts, although a cloudy sky here re-
fused to precipitate over few drops
Southern Kansas was drenched with
water from a half an inch to an inch
and a half. The crops are gone and
the rain will not save them, but it
will give relief to the people and SUI
fering cattle and in places start the
pastures afresh.
In Kansas there are few places the
mercury has registered less than rs
degrees since July 20, and many rec
ords for drouth have been broken.
Several towns where even drinking
water and fire protection reservoirs
were exhausted heaved a sigh of re-
lief today. Railroads have been haul
ing even drinking water to a half
dozen towns.
The storm this afternoon was
drifting north and east and is expect
ed to soak the rest of Kansas and
part of Nebraska before morning.
