GREAT INCREASE SHOWN
IN COTTCN CONSUMPTION
Atlanta, Sept. 22.—“ Wear cotton,”
the fomaus slogan that was started in
the fall of 1914, when the sudden out
break of the European war closed the
doors of the cotton market and left
the south’s great staple stranded high
and dry, is bearing fruit in a very
substantial and unexpected way.
A report made public py the United
States bureau of ceasus .shows that
less wool and more cotton is being
used in the manufacture of “Made in
America” clothing. There has been a
decrease in wool consumption of 14.2
per cent, and an increase in cotton
consumption of 41.8 ger cent.

WITH A SIMPLE COLD STORAGE
PLANT ON THE PLANTATION
CONSTRUCTED AT COST OF $75,
FARMER CAN Bt INDEPENDENT
OF WEATHER CONDITIONS.
Farmers everywhere in the south
frequently have trouble in curing their
home supply of meat. When the hogs
are fat and ready for slaughtering
they frequently have to be kept sev
eral weeks before there is seasonable
weather for curing the meat. With a
simple cold storage piant on the farm,
that can be built at a cost of $75.00.
‘the farmer may be entirely independ
‘ent of the weather conditions so f;l!‘
as'the curing of his meat is concern
ed.
The following is a plan of cold stor
age house that has been used for the
past fifteen years by Mr. J. E. Mcln
tosh of Luraville, Fla., with perfect
success.
Plan of Cold Storage.
Size of cold storage, 8 ft.xloft.
Corner Studding, 4 in.x4 in. xBft.
long. :
Intermediate Studding, 2 in.x4in.xB
ft. long.
Joists nailed on side of studding( at
top) so that when ceiiings and weath
er hoarding is nailed on, will leave
a continuous air space all around.
Ceiling one inch thick is nailed on,
will leave a continuous air space all
around. Ceiling one inch thick is nail
ed on horrizontally, then on this a lay
er of insulating paper, and on this an
other like ceiling perpendicularly. On
other or outer side of studding a like
wall is put on. A beveled door, made
with like walls and edges lined with
felt of convenient size. Two layers
of floors with felt between, the floor
slanting backward and to center with
gutter in center to drain room to back
end into a U pipe through the wall.
An ice rack as near top as possible
to admit 200 Ib. block of ice.
1t requires about 800 lbs. of ice per
week. It will hold about 5,000 pounds
of meat placed in racks on sides.
(lost, about $75.00.
Cost of running would be the cost
of ice and the wages of one man.
The walls on both sides, ends and
overhead, inside and out are same;
viz;two wooden walls with paper be
tween. .
This house can be built by any car
penter. Care should be exercised to
see that the doors are properly con
structed so as to give a perfect fit.
The size of the house, of course, can
be larger or smaller than the above
plan, to suit the farmers’ needs.
1t is frequently the custom to pack
shavings, sawdust or other material
in the open air space between the
walls. Experience however, has shown
that it is much better to leave the air
space between the walls open, with
out putting in sawdust or other pack
ing material. A dead air space is one
of the best non-cqnductors of heat.
