The Much Needed Too, Shed.

Numerous Investigations OF the farm
machinery question have thoroughly
established the fact that the life of
farm machinery depends mainly upon
twice, three or four times as long with
one man as It does with another. This
difference in the life OF machine is
largely due to shelter and lack of
cultivators. seeders. fertilizer distri-
butors. threshers. wagons and other
machinery through lack Of shelter is

be ample protection against sun. rain
and wind and proper drainage to in

be convenient SO as TO be easily reach

II ought to be so constructed that il
is as easy to put the implements and
leave them out and it ought also to
be so arranged that the implements
and machines can be gotten out for
use without any great inconvenience.
shed consists OF a building OF medium
width. say eighteen or twenty feet the
length being governed by the number
OF implements to be housed. A build
ing, eighteen, by twenty-five feet us
uaily furnishes ample room for the
implements used on the average lt0-
acre Cotton Belt farm.
The shed need not be built very high
unless one desires storage on the
second floor. Seven feet to the caves
is is enough enough The floor should be made
inches TO foot above the outside
surface level of the ground to insure
drainage and avoid dampness.

THE DRY GOODS OUTLOOK
Reports From misunderstanding Centers
Hold Out Some Hope OF Less Cost
in Dressing.

Duns report on the dry goods out
look is as follows:
Having taken action against unjust
cancellations of orders, which were re-
Gently cause of some apprehension,
the dry goods trade Is now more con-
iident. That termination Of govern
ment contracts has been more sudden
and general than was expected. is a
feature OF the weeks advices: but
measures have been adopted to prevent
such disorSanization as would force
idleness. and the belief is spreading
kets will manifest themselves after
tho first shock OF rcadiustmcnt. While
export inquiries have already become
more numerous. actual trading has
been but moderate. and domestic buy
ers. waiting to see how far the price
reaction will carry. are operating only
in hand-to- mouth manner. AS an
illustration OF which way the price
pendulum is swinging. some Southern
mills have offered TO accept business on
wide point cloths at IS 1-2 cents for
deliveries running into 1919. This price
is II cents yard under the official
ma Nimum.
The Dry Goods Economist says:
News from the national capital this
week is to the eect that the efforts OF
the various boards which control pro-
duction and sale of various dry goods
and allied lines are conferred on the
problems OF readjusting business with
minimum OF interference.
There has been no change in the fixed
prices OF gray goods or OF finished fab
RIGS. and none is expected during De
cemher. Mil men state that their ac-
tivities are concentrated now on the
hilinE of orders. many Of which have
been booked at prices from to Is
cents below the quotations put into ef-
rect by the price fixing committee OF
the War Industries Board and CON
ttnued to December 81 by recent rui-
ing. Spectators, however. are quoting
