er's Union Bureau of Information GpndIdted by the th Carolina Farmers' Educa onal and Co-Operation Union. ommunications intended for this tment should be addressed to J. C lg,Pedidleton, S. Q. porative Warbhouses on the Very Cheapelt Plan. bout one year ago our' Farmers' ion Bureau' was requested to get up simple plan for farmers' ware uses, which was published in many ewspapers, and in addition we had a ouble edition held in stock in circu ar form for free distribution to all Hppliants that would enclose a two cent stamp for same. But as our printed circulars describing this cheap plan of co-operative warehouse has been exhausted we appeal to the patriotism of every paper in- the south to publish this cheap plan for Farmers' Warehouses and thus ex tend a hand in perfecting a system of V business methods of marketing the south's great money crop that is bound to steady prices and retain the profits in cotton production for the welfare of the south. The com mendable features of this plan is that it enables every farmer to become a stockholder by allowing them to in vest their labor (at a leisure time) and material in lieu of cash. If far mers care to do so there are enough levelheaded business men everywhere to put up enough cash for cement and other bought stuff which will make it practical and easy for farmers to get together and turn a lot of their idle time of themselves, teams and material into a probitable investment that will give cotton growers protec tion against the inscrupulous cotton bear and speculative elejent that are at it all the while robbing the south of its wealth while we are at work or asleep. We here give extracts from one of many lebters to our Bureau that give some idea of the widespread move ment in building these small co-opera tive wareh'ouses that are doing good in teaching farmers the value of con cert action in actual labor as well as bulking their materials for their mu tual benefit, -not only in building their warehouses, but these small warehouses in turn will unite their strength as pennies make dimes and dimes .make dollars, Really wve believe that the lasting benefits from this small warehouse liuiness-extending as It does to the smallest farmer-the lessons of the value of practical cooperation and business lessons that he would -ntver got if he waited for money to invest in larger warehouses. Blackman, Fin., May 8, 1907. Mr. J. C. Stribling: "Seeing an a1ticle from you in the Cultivator in 1906 about a- eheap plan of ware house, pronmpts me to make some in quiry. We will organize a state Un ion here in July. We want to build a warehouse or two this summer and will appreciate any information we can get if you can give us a plan thrat we can do our owvn work and not pay out very much money ou'tside of some mnateri al.'' J. W. Bracewell, Pres. Santarosa Co. Farmers' Union. in this there is room for all to en ter in. The small cotton grower, makl ing only a few bales, can go in and add -his might along with the fellow that makes twenty--five or a hundred bales. As it takes material, labor and money, let all con tribu'te to this thing a kind of tax in kind way and put up warehouses all along the line. Farmers' Ulnion Cotton Warehouse Plans-Olay Floor, Hollow Qement Block Wafls. The followi'ng is, goten up upon the very simplest and cheapest plans for the use of co-operative Unions. *TJis plan is for one section, to which may be added as many more sectians at. times as may be required to accommodate the needs of the Un ion. Walls 100 feet long; 12 feet tall at high, end, 8 feet tall. at lower end; spade between walls, 50 feet. Excava tions should be dug out to firm groun'd or clay (if i'n, a clay terri tory,) well ditched and drained all round, good clay floor - well beaten down. As the cost of material in founda tions varies in different places our estimate for cement walls ate taken from abourt the floor line. Parapet Wvall may be .required by insurance companies where more than one section, are -put up together, but these walls above the roof are of no benefit in the way of protection from fire on a sine sdetion cotton ware house. Estimates given here are for 10 inch hollow. block, .for ifoundations and R-insh 'block for. walls, and. all other m tpriatl that' farmers do not usually have on their farms. All labbr, sand for cemenit blocks and the nine 10-inch round posts to rest girders on. through the middle of -the room, are to be supplied by the farmers. This style of cotton warehouse will hold about 400 bales to each sec tion. Two round poles, 10. inches in diameter, should -be placed under each row of bales to prevent capillery at traction of moisture there at any time. Remember this, ethat if lower ends of bales are wet or moist when stor ed, that in all cases this lower end will be damaged more or,less, it mat ters not what kind of floor it rests on. Material for One Section. 25 barrels Portland Cemen.t, 100 cubit yards of * sand, 18 girders 3x12x25, 208 rafters 2x5x13,- 4 sills 4x6x25-4hese may be round; ground post 10 inches diameter, 4 perlines 2x4x25, 50 plank 1x12x8, 51 straps 1x4x8, 50 plank 1x12x12, 51 straps 1x4x12, 5,000 feet sheeting.

For less money than it takes to pay ifor a. good pair of mules farm ers may go to work in a neigh11borly way and put up their own fortifica tions now and get well entrenched ready for the figh-ting that is sure to come this fall to force cotton far mers to turn loose their cotton at prices that Ihave ailways made all' others rich that handled cotton ex cepting the men who t(lil mnost of all to produce this cotton. Tf this warehouse movement among cotton growers progresses in gain ing strength and confidence among cotton .producers as lime passes, as it is now doin, we look for several thllous.nd of tliese co-operative ware houses to be put up this ummer. When cotton producers get a great chain of these. warehouses linked to gether in all the cotton slates in honided form and pr'oduIce .their ownI~' farm supplies, this concert of act ion in a business w~ay wvill place thisj whole eottoni proposition upon firm 'foundat ion and insure continued prosperity, niot only 'to cotton g'row ers, but it will also bring prosperity to every inudnst ry in tihe sout.

But the recent improve ments .ill the manufacturing and( con sequent cheapeninig of 'the cost of' ce ment and the machinery for forming thlese hollow blocks has reduced the cost of this building' materialh to such all extent that it now looks like we are in.to wh'lat m.ight he called the cement or conicrete aste.
