TWO CONTRACTS LET

Tuscaloosa, September 9.-tSpecial) The congregation of the First Methodist church. having completed the job of ex- cavating the basement of their new church edifice, will now let the contract for the brick work even with the top of the ground. As soon as that is com pleted they will let the contract for the erection of the edifice above the ground, preferring to divide the work of erect ing the church into separate contracts. so they can figure on how much the building will cost as it is being erected. When finished it will be one of the hand somest, most imposing church editices in the state.

IMPROPER STORAGE OF COT.

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. 8, 1910.--R. l.,

roads, issues the following information
regarding the improper storing Of cot.
ton:
Millions Of dollars are lost every
year through improper storage of cot.
ton. This has been known in a zen.
eral way for long time by everybody
interested in cotton, but probably very
few OF us have even suspected what a
tremendous factor storage is in the
trade, or the astounding lot of money
thrown away by the Individual owner
who lets a bale Of cotton stay Oh the
ground.
Some tests conducted by the United
States Department Of Agriculture re.

tration, and their results were 50 startl.
Ing that the Administration desires to
aid In gaining for them widest possible
dissemination and most careful con.
sideration.
The most striking fact disclosed was
that a 402 pound bale Of cotton stored
flat on the ground for six months lost
232 pounds, leaving 280 pounds for
the market, while another bale stored
properly in a warehouse lost only two
pounds. This means tat, II the prict
was thirty cents a pounds, the loss
on the first bale was $1,000. The loss
on the bale in the warehouse was but
sixty cents.
These tests occurred at Press No. ]
Of the st. Louis Cotton Compress Com.
pany, Little Rock, Ark. Seven bales
OF cotton were purchased by the De
patrment Of Agriculture and stored
under various conditions from Novem.

ly observations were conducted and com
plete reports prepared upon the condi
ton Of the cotton throughout the
period.
Briefly, here is what the tests dis.
closed:
BALE No, 1, fully protected in ware
house, weighed 404 pounds at the start
and had net marketable weight OF
1902 pounds when reconditioned ct the
end Of the test.
BALE No. 2, exposed on dunnagc
and turned after eacn rain or once Z
week, dropped IN net marketable cot
ton from 4S7 pounds to 4so pounds.
(Seren pounds lost.)
BALE No, 3, on dunnage on edge,
covered with tarpaulin and left wit
out further attention during test, drop
ped from 4S0 to 49, pounds. (Four
pounds lost.)
BALE No. 4, flat on ground during
entie test, same surface dswn at all
times, dropped from 492 to 260 pounds,
(232 pounds lost.) During the test
this bale absorbed moisture until 1t
weighed OH pounds on June I. In
reeonditioning 420 pounds Of moisture
went out and 232 pounds Of moulded
and ruined cotton were thrown away.
BALE No. s. on end on ground dur.
Ing the entire test. with same surface
