CORPORATION TO PRESS
AND STORE COTTON
WILL TAKE OVER PLANTS OF
ATLANTIC AND OTHER COM
PANIES. PLANS MADE.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Announce-
ment is made here that plans are
practically completed for the forma-
ton of a large corporation to COM
bine and standardize a large portion
of the cotton COMPRISING and ware
housing facilities of the southern
states and to establish new ware
houses. Several Georgia cotton fl
nanciers are listed as supporters of
the plan. Rufus R. Wilson, secretary
of the National Association of Cotton
Manufacturers and secretary of the
World Cotton Conference, made the
announcement.
At the recent New Orleans meet
ing it was declared that additional
warehouse facilities were para
mount necessity in handling of the
cotton crop. Southern and eastern
cotton growers, spinners, producers
and bankers are enlisted in the un-
dertaking according to Mr.. Wilson,
and experts are now conducting sur
vey of the whole field of warehous-
ing and compression of cotton and
taking options on many congresses
and warehouses.
at has long been we'll known in
cotton industry" says Mr.. Wilson,
"that sufficient facilities already eX-
ist to house most of the cotton Of
fered for storage. However, the loca-
tions of these warehouses is such that
they do not adequately serve the
storage needs of the producers, mer-
chants and spinners.
Millions Lost Yearly.
For this reason much cotton that
ought to be stored is now kept in
open lots, streets and on platforms,
with the result that each years crop
suffers millions of dollars worth of
loss from Country damage" many
of the existing warehouses are so
poorly constructed and carelessly
operated that insurance rates for cot
ton stored in them are abnormally
high.
Gully conversant with these con-
ditions, and the need for improving
them both in the interest of growers
and spinners, a group of men con-
cerned from various angles with the
cotton industry are organizing a cor
poration for the purpose of standard
izing warehouses in both the south
and the north"
The compress plants to be taken
over by the new organization, Mr..
Wilson announces, are those of the
Atlantic Compress Company, with
twelve plants in Florida, Georgia and
Alabama, those Of the Newburger
Cotton Company, with twenty-six
plants in Arkansas, Tennessee, Mis-
sissippi and Louisiana, and those of
the st. Louis Compress Company,
controlled by the Lesser-Goldman in
terests, chiefly in Arkansas and Mis-
souri,. Ten scattered presses will be
taken over.

COAL AT $4,000 A TON TO
CONSUMERS IN NEBRASKA
With Desperate Need Only Five Tons
Of 1t at That.

ARTHUR, Neb.-Forty-two dollars
a ton is what the last bituminous coal
received here cost the consumers.
There were only five tons of it at
that.
The desperate need for coal moved
authorities to offer $50 per ton for
hauling from the railroad, and this
brought out five tons, the first in over
five weeks to reach here. The retail
price added to hauling cost made the
total per ton SAP, and the consumers
were glad enough to pay the price.
