(cdambui, Aug. t —A ma»» mrrting
of Sooth C aro! na roll, n farmer*
made (>an» berr today to carry to
Waahmirton a Aght for o hat it da-
cided »** a “fan price" for ginning
tfci» fall.
ftinto! uti adopted aaid:*
"That baaed <n the Rieeent price
of cotton, a price of 13.&0 per bale
for gtnn ng including bagging and Utt
is a fair price, that for cotton in ex*
cans of 1 1-8 inch staple, an addi*
tional SO cent* per bale be allowed."
A price cf 17.63 a bale which the
rraolutitn said wa, “repotted in the
press” ait having been proposed in a
tentative national ginners code was
characterized as "exorbitant and un
justified.”
J. Rcy Jones, commissioner of agri
culture, who called the meeting to
pretest against the piice he said was
included in the proposed ginners code,
press the fight in Washington for a
‘‘fair price.”
A s also authorized in the resolu
tions, Commissioner Jcnes named as
a committee to assist him: Represen
tative Neville Bennett, of Marlboro
County; Winchester C. Smith, Jr., of
Barnwell County, and D. B. Ander
son, of Spartanburg, master cf the
South Carolina Grange.
The meeting, attended by approxi-
mately 150 farmer s representing all
section? of the State, also went on
record in favor of government control
of cottcn production.
Badham Lumber Co. Robbed.
The Badhham Lumber Company’s
store in the northern part of the
county, near Springfield, was entered
and robbed Sunday night, according to
Deputy Sheriff Gilmore S. Harley,
who wa g called to the scene to investi
gate the alleged crime. Three shot
guns * quantity of sugar, meat
and tobacco were stolen. The officer
searched a number of housed in the
vicinity but was unable to locate the
stolen goods or discover any clue as
ta the ideality of the guilty party.

Roads have been carried oa behind

however, roetrtbeted materially to
the progreea of highway conatrue*

demanded of them.
In Ita teats laboratory at Arling
ton. Virginia, across the Yttcmar
fr**n Washington, the Bureau has
carried on research covering both
sub-surface, or foundation, road
soils, and the problem of providing
satisfactory surfaces for low-cost
highways. The latter phase of its
research will prove of special im
portance to rural districts where
high-cost roads are noi necessita
ted by the amount of traffic, and
where they would impose a heavy
tax burden for maintenance.
Surfacing Low-Cost Roads
The extent to which low-cost
roads can be provided with a
smooth and durable surface de
pends largely upon retention of
surface moisture, for it is tlie pre
sence of a moisture film between
the surface particles that provides
the “glue” to hold them together,
and that keeps the surfaces of
clay, sand-clay and gravel roads
from disintegrating.
Such moisture content can not
be satisfactorily furnished and
maintained by sprinkling or any
other known means of mechanic
ally applying water to the surface.
The attention of the engineers,
therefore, has been directed to the
use of some chemical which will
automatically draw the desired
moisture from the air above or the
earth below.
Calcium chloride is a chemical of
this kind. Applied to the road sur
face it both draws moisture from
the air and slows down evapora
tion. A rairfall carries it beneath
the surface, but as JJie surface
moisture evaporates, the calcium
chloride solution rises to take its
place and furnish the “glne” to
hold together the surface particles.
With each rainfall and subsequent
evaporation of sarface moisture
the process is repeated, the net
resalt being that the sarface has
no opportunity to dry out and dis
integrate. iV*

The shrinkage test, another of the
many tests used to determine the
reactions of soils when subject to
changing load, moisture and tem
perature conditions. A moist
sample cf soil is placed in the
laboratory “oven” and the amount
of shrinkage observed when all the
moisture has been removed.
Among the most Important fac
tors that influence the action of the
sub-surface soils is capillarity, or
the extent to which capillary ac-
'Tiqn perfneates them with moisture
drawn up from the ground water.
As'in the case of the surface soils,
a certain anfount of moisture is
highly desirable, but too much dis
integrates them just as too much
water disintegrates a handful of
damp sand Bub-snrface toils
which attract excessive capillary
moisture are also subject to the
frost heaves that rule many roads.
The Drainage Indicator, used to
study the rise of water in a soil
sample under varying conditions of
pressure.
A device developed by the
Bureau and known as a drainage
indicator makes it possible to de
termine both the maximum capil
lary rise in the soil under test, and
the rate at which the ground water
will rise due to capillary attraction.
The device shows also the relative
amounts of air, gravitational mois
ture <rain water, etc.), capillary
moisture, and solid particles which
go to make up the soil.
The Capillary Rise
The tremendous amount of water
that can be furnished by capillary
action is indicated by the composi
tion of a sample ten-foot column of
soil. The sample contained 5.9 feet
soil particles, .6 foot gravitational
moisture and air, and 3.5 feet capil
lary moisture. The maximum ca
pillary rise was 9 feet, and at 1.5
feet above the ground water the
rate of the rise was 10.4 feet per
24 hours.
Soil is not a calculable and
stable material to the same extent
as steel, stone or wood, but the
tests developed by the V. S.
Bureau of Public Roads enable the
highway engineer to forecast the
reaction of his soil under varying
! conditions with a high degree of
accuracy. At the same time they
show in what necessary qualities
the soil be most depend upon Is
deficient, end indicate what con
stltneBts should be added to repelr
these deflcienciee.
