Big FEED Mill
is CONTEMPT TED
PALMER JONES COMPANY BUSY
WITH PLANS TO CONSTRUCT
PLANT WITH LARGE OUTPUT.

An enterprise that contemplates the
construction of a grain elevator, a
flour mill, grist mill and feed manufac-
turing plant and which undertaking
would entail an output of approx
mately 100000 for cost of construc-
ton, is being considered by the Palm
Ier-Jones Company, of this city.
Such an enterprise will open direct
market to the farmer of this entire
section for the sale of their wheat,
corn and other grain crops and will
bring profit to them for the bi-pro-
ducts for the manufacture Of feed. from
stalks, shucks and cobs that could
not come to them from any other
source. 1t will encourage the produc-
ton of more grain crops and wider di-
versification of crops possibly as no
| other medium could dc. 1t is the pur-
pose of the promoters to open a mar
ket for grain crops that will bring pro-
lection to the farmers against the COM
ing of the boil weevil.
Plans are to construct a tWO-story
brick building between Fifth and Sixth
streets, in the vicinity of Mathews
ginnery and adjacent to the spur track
which extends to the mills of the EN-
pire Cotton Oil company. The build
ing will be 100x150 feet in floor dimen-
'sions. 1t is the purpose of the com
pany, in event their plans materialize,
to install the grist mill and feed man
ufacturing plant on the first floor, and
this will be done Immediately upon
the construction of the plant. Blue
prints of plans and specifications have
already been drawn up by an architect
While the flour mill will not be con-
structed Immediately, it will be located
on the second floor of the building,
where the grain bins will also be To-
Gated, and will be installed and ready
for operation during the following
spring in order to take care of the
wheat crop of the next year. Its ca
pacity will be equal to that of any flour
mill in this section of the state.
B. H. Palmer, who is at the head
of the Palmer-Jones company, and who
is directing the affairs of the new
project, has already secured market
ing connections with brokers at Jack
sonville and Tampa, Fla, for handling
the entire output of the plant includ-
| ing the feed, meal, flour and other pro-
| ducts.
The idea of such an undertaking was
suggested to Mr.. Palmer by reason of
his coming in contact with numerous
| farmers who could not find market
for his grain products, principally
corn. This idea was actuated by de-
sire and foresight to protect the farm
ers' interests against the coming of
the boil weevil in the period of revo
luton that must come about from the
production of cotton as the chief mon
ey crop to the production of more
grain and the more extensive adoption
of the live at home" plan.

have more home made flour than can
be used on his farm and he will get
a fancy price for what he sells, for
