I COTTON IS WORTH MORE.
How the Farmer is Benefitted by
the Roundlap Bale.
The Atlanta Constitution, which
recently published an elaborate
report on the Roundlap ba e of t he
American Cotton Company, in dis
cussing the value of the new sys
tem of cotton handling, says: It is
quite clear that, in order to raise
the price which should go to the
farmer for his cotton, the commer
cial expenses in handling it must
be reduced.
Under present conditions, the
amount of money required to han
dle the crop, from the gin to the
factory plat form, has grown of all
proportion, so that its commercial
handling consumed the profit
which should save gone to the
grower. Viewed from this stand
point, therefore, every movem» nt
which delivers the farmer’s cotton
with least expense to the manu
facturer must be regarded as of
the wildest public interest.
The new methods of round bail
ing are on this line, doing away
with much of the clumsiness and
extravagance of the old system
and substituting one which can
make of every cotton gin a com
press as well. The claims of the
round bale advocates show that we
have entered upon an era of inven
tion which means much to the far
mer, and much thereof, to the
country.

which were very interesting in
deed.
Penmanship was the next sub
ject for discussion conducted by
Mrs. Everlyn, who made quite an
intelligent talk showing the supe
riority of the vertical writing sys
tem over the slanting. Mr. Grif
fitt made * talk on penmanship in
general.
Intermission for 10 minutes.

teresting and instructive paper on

Proposed New Road.
Mr. Editor; —l want io speak one
WOid to the citisens of Alpine and
Dirtseller districts about the proposed
new road.
First, as to whether Cook and Cor
biy want the road or not. It is report
ed around as an argument against the
road, that Cook and Corbiy do not
want the road. Why then do they
sign the petition for the road and give
the right of way clear through three
hundred acres of land? Cotik and
Corbiy do want the road and will do
their part toward building it.
Again. It is currently reported that
the district hands will be called out at
once and compelled to grade the road
complete. This is a figment of im
imigination. No such thought, is en
tertained by the promoters of the new
road. Already voluntary contributions
lor a considerable part of the work
have been offerred, and no doubt more
will be handed in. It is not intended
to saddle the whole burden onto the
road hands of the districts, but thought
perhaps, when everybody got a correct
understanding of the case that every
body would see it to their internal to
help some.
Some few have said they would lose
their time and ride two weeks to kill
the road. This will be a iristake.
Some of these same people have been,
and are now depending on the fruit
business for their living. Now if they
think a moment they will see that
when they strike a blow at the new
road they strike at the fruit growing
business.
It will be bud policy to undertake to
“kill the goose that lays the golden
egg.”
That road is vitally necessary to the
fruit industry, not only in the imme
diate vicinity of the road, but 1 irgely
of the whole Menlo district, for in no
other way can all flic growers get to
gether in sufficient numbers to load
cars amt avoid high exp'ess rtites.
One thing is certain. We cannot use
the roads we have had heretofore to
transport our fruits to shipping points.
Every fruit grower is vitally interested
and therefore every day laborer is in
terested in having this and other roads
put in such condition that the fruit
.can lie safely carried to the shipping
points. |
To put a stop to these public im
provements is to put a stop to the
fruit industry, and then where will
the days work come in?
I don’t sec.
