Excavating Started.
The grounds have alreudy been
cleaned off and laid out .and work
started ot) excavation for the foun-
dation of the building but tbe miser-
able weather conditions prevailing nil
fall keeps hindering and delaying the
work. Mr Cline moved his family to
McKinney several months ago and
opened up an office In Ihe second
storv of The Dally Comler-Gnxette
and The Weekly Democrat-Onr.etto
brick building. The architects. Messrs.
Dixie'# Jenkins have also moved to
tho ritv and opened up their office.
The administration building will be
erected in the next eight months,
weather permitting, under their per-
lsotml Inspection. They are substan-
tial citIsons, as well as prominent
'members of their profession, and are
'members of Ihe Free Methodist
(church. W'O will take up their resi-

Modern Conveniences Sought.
The college is now running to its

plant at Campbell is owned Deo of
debt but will b< sold after I lie school's

| l*ark of model n conveniences
which precludes the possibility of the
college securing full affiliation with
the educational system of Texas Is the.
cause of the Free Methodist church
concluding to change Ipentions to
j McKinney, which can afford ail these
conveniences and also has many other
'advantages soeh as accessibility and
n field unoccupied by any other col-
lege in the county. The Free Metho-
dist church has no other college in
tin* South and plans In make McKin-
ney the headquarters of its ednett-
tst m cotton mat tiding of A. a M
i'oIIc’o Extension Service. Mr I’o-
tecle’s address was on classification
and m.rketlng of cotton.
Mr. I'otcctc said that very few far-
mers knew how to market their cot
ton. The three essential things for a
farmer to know when lie went to
market Ins cotton were: To Know Ihe
grade, the staple and vvltat spot tot-
ton was worth when the farmer mat
keletl he rollon lb said llie farmers
would ht lug their cotton to town ami
sell it without knowing vvliat the
grade and staple was. And tu Hits
ii.afui r a farmer with it bale of cot-
ton villi - tape seventh eighths or an
iiu It long v amid receive as much for
Ins coiioti as another farmer whose
slape was .hi Inch and a sixteenth
o" an Inch and an eighth tiling, lie
(old farmers that this rollon with s'a
pie titore than tin inch was used in
m klug silk shirts.
“McKinney is forty years hgltlud In
mat In ting eot'on,” he said. “This
way of driving upon the public square
with Voiir hale of cotton ami selling
it. was all right years ago when there
was ver\ little cotton rah ed and when
there were no ivarehpiiHes or com-
presses, but it Is not the way to mar-
ket cotton la thla age and McKinney
is min of tho very few towns m Texas
tluil Is still privet Icing tjie old lime
wiiy of mat ki ting cotton," he said.
There « mild not he a plan dev tsed in
marketing cotton that would be so
wasteful as the present maimer of
marketing the cotton on the public
square. ’I*lte farmer drives upon the
square with Ids cotton, the buyers cut
II all to pieces, and the farmer takes
what ihe buyer offers without know-
ing wli.it grade and staple he has. It
Is not necessary to have your cotton
cut to pieces to sell It. Tho correct
way to market cotton is for the far-
mer to place Itls cotton In a ware-
house ct at the compress, then take a
sample front each side of tho bale,
hi tug ll to town and let tho buyers
pureluisu tin* cotton from these
samples.
There were in Texas Ibis year
twenty-four government cotton class-
ing offices in equally as many towns.
The fat tilers cotton was classified hy
the government cotton olassots •»
charge of each office sod the classei*
then told the farmer what he ought
to get for his fleecy s'nplc and what
Ids cotton graded. In most cases the
buyers would then conic to the cotton
dosser's oltlcc and purchase the cot-
ton from lit** samples which were dis-
played in the office. Mr. I’oteete
said that before this cotton season Is
over Ihe tv’enty-four government of-
fices m Tt xiis will have made the
farmeri of the stale a million doKqrs.
It has been proven by farmers, busi-
ness men and bankers In tho coun-
ties white these government cotton
offices were placed that the fanners
l received from $5.00^ to $15.00 par
I hub* nimn for thdr cotton than they
i would have received.
| Next year liter** will he seventy-
j five more of these offices placed III
