MODERN FARM METHODS
USED In GROWING AND
PICKING COTTON CROP

Memphis, Tenn.-The first bale Of
cotton known to have been produced
entirely by machinery was turned ou
! at Memphis recently, according to OF
ficials of the Ford Motor Co., wh'
planted, picked and ginned the bale
The entire process was occom
plished with the use of a FordsoI
tractor.
Cotton is picked today in much the
same way it was in India thousand
years ago. People are born, die ano
are buried in cotton. And now comes
modern methods of harvesting the
product.
The Memphis branch of the Ford
No.or Co. planted seven acres of cot
ton adjacent to the plant in Riverside
park, inside the limits of the city.
The land was cleared, broken, bed
ded, fertilized and planted with a
sractor of the Ford company. The
cotton was cultivated, picked and
ginned by the same agency. 1t was
fertilized with Ford ammonium sui
phate.
The land will produce about three
and one-half bales and it will be har-
vested as close and about 10 to Is
per cent cleaner as the result of the
mechanical implements, it is declared.
Tho crop was planted May ~, and
has been cultivated five times.
No horses or mules were used in
the production of the crop. The
tractor has supplemented the horse
and mule in every detail, making the
use of the Thurman vacuum cotton
harvester practical
r. 0gcs show that 1t required about
$3.50 900 h~~ds 100 DAVIS 10 harvest
the crop of $1,000 coo bales in 1925.
It is estimated that $4,000 hands
would perform the same service.
No Importation of labor or taking
children from schools to harvest the
cotton crops would be necessary with
the vacuum process, it pointed out
by the Ford Motor Co. The new har-
vester accelerates the hand about five
or six times, Ford officials say. Six
men operate IL nozzles of the har-
vester. When one of the sacks is
filed the flow of cotton is switched
to the other sack, and that is filled
while the first sack is being emptied.
The sacks are not dragged along on
the ground.
Six operators operating picking
machines can gather sufficient seed
cotton each day to make two or three
bales, it is pointed out. Money is
saved in labor and time.

GEORGIA HAS
MUCH CEMENT

Atlanta, Ga.-With Portland ce-
ment mills in Georgia running day
and night, including Sunday, the EN-
pire stat eof the South is producing
Just about as much cement as it con-
sumes. DR.. S. w. McCallie, state
geologist, declared today following a
recent inspection trip to one of the
cement plants in South Georgia.
Although exact figures were not
available in the state geologist's Of
flee, it has been estimated that Geor-
gia uses approximately 100000
barrels Of cement annually. The es-
timated figures on the consumption
of cement in the city of Atlanta alone
are approximately $4,000 barrels
month
E'Even while we are producing in
Georgia just about as much cement
as we consume, we have all the ma
terials for the manufacture of cement
to supply our demands for an indefi-
mite time" DR.. McCallie said. With
an increase in the state highway paw
! ing program, the state geologist sta
ted that he was expecting a consider
able expansion in the cement industry
in Georgia. Being able to supply It's
own demands for cement will prove
large saving in transportation costs
he pointed out.
At present there about three ce-
ment plants in Georgia, one in Hous-
ton county at Cinohfeld and two in
Polk county near Rocknlart, the state
neologist said. The industry, he de-
clared. is still in its infancy, but with
remarkable possibilities for eXpan-
sion. The one at Clinchfield, which
is one of the south's largest plants,
he said, was not put into operation
until two years ago, and another unit
was added a few weeks back giving
the plant an output at present OF
5000 barrels per day.
The daily output of the Cllnch-
field plant is sufficient to build a con-
crete road IS feet wide and mile
long, while the annual output is am
nile to construct road of the same
width a distance of $50 miles or from
Chattanooga, Tenn, to Waycross, Ga.
All the crude materials used in
the making of cement at the Clinch-
field nlant-limestone Fuller's earth
and clay-are obtained within the
vicinity of the plant, it was pointed
out.
The limestone used at the Clinch-
field plant is what is known as the
Ocala limestone, so-called on account
of heino we'll develoned in the vicinity
of Ocala. Fla. DR.. McCallie said. This
limestone. he asserted covers large
areas in South Georgia. extending for
approximatelv 100 miles in south
easterly direction from Washington
county.
The Ocsla limestone formation in
the state have all been traced out
by the state geological department,
from who's ereport manufacturers
were first attracted to establish ce-
ment mills in Georgia, it was said.

With but two weeks to prepare ex.
hibits, on account of the lateness OF
securing the fair grounds, Pulaski
county has staged her greatest Fair
Though hurriedly arranged the many
booths and exhibits on display have
been arranged with such taste and ex-
cellency as to win the hearty COM
mendation of every one. To say that
the interior of the immense building
housing these displays presents q
magnificent appearance tells but lit
tie of the excellency of what is on
show there. From every one comes
expressions of surprise and wonder at
the possibilities of tn ecounty as seen
through these exhibits. Booths that
would do credit to a state fair COM
pletely fill the twenty eightthousand
mare feet of the main building while
the adjoining building is used only

believed could not be done in so
short time. More than eyer before
the interest of the people have turned
to displaying the county's resources
and many who have no exhibits there
this year are lamenting the fact with
strong declaration of intentions for
next year. E&.'
