day afternoon by ginning a bale of
staple cotton raised on his farm. The
occasion was superintended by Charles
X. Herndon, factory supervising engi-
neer of installation, Memphis, and Ar

Jackson.
The new plant performed in fine style
and the owner is greatly pleased with
the fine operation and smooth perform
ance, and especially its functioning for
the first ginning.
Mr. Herndon was elated over the fine
plant and stated that it ranked with any
unit IN the state for its adaptability to
handling long staple cotton as we'll as
the short variety. In planning the gin
Mr. Herndon stated that staple requires
hi-speed saws for cleaning the lint from
seed, with loose rolls to care for the
lenrth- 81 staple and it's preservation

The first ginning only required 12

any delay of adjustments of the new

added fixture to Lexington's fine indus

$4,000 Feed Mill
OutgrOwth Beall's
Idea By Supporters

The growth of an idea from small
feed mill to a $50,000.00 corporation, is
the outcome of plans formulated by
George S. Beall, Jr., of this city, accord
ing to announcement made Wednesday
This industry sponsored after meeting
of merchants and business men held
this week will incorporate all details of
the new firm to be known as the Lex
ington Milling Co.
Included in the plans of the new cor
poration will be a complete feed mill
housed in special brick structure built
for the sole purpose of operating with
adequate machinery and warehouses for
Its successful operation. All property
OF the Lexington Gin and Trading Co.
consisting of large gin, warehouses
two-story residence, real estate and
other assets of the company will be en-
oraced in the new enterprise
Capitalized at figure that will allow
ample operating costs after installation
and equipment of all machinery, is ene
of the prime features of the new busi-
ness formed. The plant will also in
clude sprinkler system which will ma
terially reduce the operating costs and
insurance.
The outlook for business was never
more promising, stated Mr.. Beall as the
local business of feeds in Holmes coun-
ty alone, exceeds one million dollars
worth of imported feeds As the local
territory furnishes an ideal land and
soil for growing of feed crops, the add
ed income to farmers and dairymen as
well, being considered in the new mill.
A year round market will be estah ad
for all home grown feed crops
Citing an example of 4-acres of corn,
Mr., Beall has given a fine example of
the income of feed crops on his place.
Grinding the stalk and all with the ad-
dition of 10 per cent black strap mo-
lasses, five per cent seed meal and one
per cent salt, yield of 44h tons of
feed, or two-carloads will result. On
an average price for this class of ration
S1,1O0.00 will be the value of the feed
produced or averaging $275.00 an acre.
