Water Power Dams Aimed At Project Across Coosa River
A Georgia Alabama conference outlined plans to build dams on the Coosa River from Rome Georgia to Mobile Alabama to improve navigation and water power. The project would create year round flow via multiple dams, with estimates and reports from Patrick Lay of the Alabama River Improvement Association. The plan enjoys backing from the Muscle Shoals Valley Association and involves a 142 mile rapids section between Greensport and Wetumpka Alabama, with 368 feet falls minus existing slack water.

Alabama Farmers Pool 4000 Bales Daily in Cotton Pool
Alabama farmers pooled 4000 bales daily with the Alabama Farm Bureau Cotton Association, with advances exceeding 160000 dollars. Officials said total weekly pooling reached 17000 bales and over 700000 dollars in advances, lifting season deliveries to about 33000 bales and one and a half million dollars advanced. Readings from Madison Clarke and Morgan counties show pooling of 1 to 90 percent of ginned cotton amid continued rains and reduced advances to 8 cents per pound due to short staple and low grade cotton.
