The cotton seed oil factory at Dallas
is nearly ready for business This business
is growing rapidly in the south. There are
seven large mills in New Orleans, and others
AT Baton Rouge, Shreveport, Natchez, Nicks,
burg, in Arkansas, Memphis, Nashville, and
even st, Louis and Chicago. The seed is
becoming an item in the value of the cotton
crop, though as yet the planter receives the
least of the benefit. The oil mills utilize the
short staple which adheres to the seed, con.
verting it into batting, blankets and other
articles, The oil is chief in value, but the
cake or meal which remains after the oil has
been expressed is valuable as feed for do.
mestic animals and for fertilizing land, and
is worth $40 a ton. A ton of seed produces
20 gallons Of oil, worth 50 or $3.50.
In response to the query, will sugar
culture pay" the New Orleans Picayune
says: Some four or five years ago a farmer
from Greene county, Indiana, settled in
Nermillion parish, below Abbeyvile, with
but little money but he was working
farmer and had some working boys. This
farmer had lately been making sugar on
small scale, within ten miles of the gulf
coast His last crop is in his sugirhouse
unsold since he did not need the money,
and hoped sugar would improve a little. He
has lust purchased a sugar.milI to make four
or five hogsheads of sugarin day, for which
he pays twelve hundred dollars cash, and
will pay the rent when he sells his crop. He
has but one colored man on his farm, who
takes care OF the horses and does the chores.
This Indiana farmer and his boys do the field
work, and they are constantly improving
their farm and making money. All such
white farmers and sons can make money at
farming anywhere in Louisiana. A hundred
thousand Of such farmers would make the
state independent and rich in Il few years,
