Urge Farmers to Protect the Cotton From “Country Damage” Department of Agriculture Specialists Strongly Advise the Warehousing of Cotton, or Protection For it in Temporary Sheds Washington.— I To prevent what promires to he an unusual amount of ‘ country damage" to cotton this year, the cotton marketing specialists of the Department of Agriculture are urging farmers and others to warehouse their cotton, or, If this is impossible, to build temporary sheds to protect it. They state that even under normal condi tions our baled cotton suffers injury to the extent of many millions of dol lars in value from what is commonly called "country damage.” Owing to the war in Europe, the present crop cannot be marketed readily and an tm isually large amount of cotton, they p tint out, is lying unprotected around cine and on the producers' premises. The aggregate amount of country carnage, therefore, they say, is likely WASH GOODS REMNANT SALE A Final Clean-Up for Stock Taking We have gone through our great Wash Goods Stock and have taken out everything in short lengths from two to eight yards.

They particularly urge farmers to depart from their usual custom and protect their cotton, and ask the fac tors to offer the very best terms pos sible. The following is a statement by the specialists of the measures to protect cotton which they believe to be of special importance this year: "It is generally believed that many new warehouses should be built In or der to house the crop, hut a careful Investigation by the office of markets Indicates that if all the warehouses at the ports, in the iflterlor, and belong Checked Dimity, Crepes, White Lawn, White Mull, Lot No. 4—Ladies’ Jersey ribbed Cotton Vests, Pants and Union Suits, values 50c to SI.OO, 9Qn choice. . uuu Lot No. s—Ladies’5 —Ladies’ Jersey ribbed Union Suits, in variety of styles and weights, SI.OO and 7Cp $1.25 sellers, choice . . . luu COLD MEATS Boiled Ham, sliced, pound 35?

This does not mean that the present facilities are adequate, or always available to the persons who are in the most serious need of them. The best storage houses are generally located at the ports and the large Interior towns, and are usu ally under the control of factors or commission merchants who operate them primarily in order to in' reuse their volume of business. In order »o store cotton in these buildings, it js usually necessary lor the farmer to pay charges for selling, weighing, etc., whether he wishes the service of the merchant In the transaction or not. It Is also true that very few of the cot ton mills are willing to open their warehouses for the accommodation of those who wish to store cotton. Again, the farmer is frequently not willing to ship his cotton to on<- of the large towns to have it stored, and Is averse to paying any charges. The small warehouses located In towns and vil lages pay very high insurance rates and their business is on such n smell scale that the cost of handling Is nec essarily much higher than for com panies which do a largo business. "But, notwithstanding all of these difficulties, cotton should be stored. THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA.

This would not only be patriotic on their part, but It would enable them to establish business con nections which would unquestionably prove to be good Investments. For similar reasons, and to help avert a serious economic loss, the mills shou. l allow the freest possible use of their storage facilities. “Notwithstanding ail handicaps, there are some advantages in placing the cotton in the hands of s'tors In the larger markets. They are pre pared to store cotton economically, having buildings which <srry very low insurance rates, and their cost of handling is comparatively low, A com petent factor or commission merchant can usually sell the cotton to better advantage than the farmer or small merchant. It is usually possible to bor row money on cotton on better terms when stored In such centers, and this is another reason why cotton shout I he stored. Few individuals and com paratively few hanks are willing to ad vance money on cotton wheo it. is not properly housed and insured.
