seed oil.mills in this country. During the
past season about 800 600 tons OF seed were
crushed. the product of all being estimated

seed for the year was 8 800 900 tons. it may
readily be conlectured that the stock OF raw
material will allow considerable e4pan-
sion of oil production. About $10,OOO,OOO
is already invested in the mills, which now

do not exceed more than one in ID 900.
