CENTRAL ASIA COTTON.

The following account of the
rapid increase in cotton production
in Asia will show our farmers
that they must soon perforce turn
their attention to something other
than the feecy staple; for in addi-
ton to over-production in America
they will have to compete with an
immense production the other
side of the water.
In 1871 but 100000 pounds
of Turkestan cotton found its way
to European Russia. In 1881 this
had increased to 100000 and in
the year 1891 the total amount
sent out was 100000 pounds.
While this, when compared to-
Americas production of 2,814,
100000 pounds yearly may see
but minute, careful examination
will show that the progress of the
increase of production is SO rapid
that it will not be long before
this Turkestan cotton will rival
American products not only in
the Russian markets, but also Ill
those in Western Europe.
Another significant factor is the
extremely low cost of production
1t is needless to go into elaborate
explanations on this head. Suffice
it to state that whereas the aver
age price of cotton in the United
States is about IL cents per pound,
The Turkestan product may be
bought at Nijal Novgorod for as
low as 7 and s cents, and even less
Nor is tie Turkestan staple any
inferior in quality to that OF
America. Indeed, on the contrary,
that country is very fortunate both
in the climate and soil as regards
the production of cotton. The
climate is soft and the ideal one
for the semi-tropical products
The soil is rich with salt and
supersulpbate of lime. These two
are quite significant items in
themselves.
Furthermore, the plant, which
attains in this region some nine
and a half feet in height, and q
thickness of stalk of two and a
half inches is singularly free from
the various kinds of worm, such
as the cotton worm boil worms
ETC., which are accredited with
destroying nearly "a per cent OF
the American cotton crop. While
the caterpillar does appear here
it is only toward the end of the
summer, and thus does more good
than harm, since it eats off the
top leaves OF the plant, and lett
in the sunlight to shine upon the
lower portions of it, at the time
i when it needs it most, as the cror
is gathered in August.
There are at present sixteen
mills at Andijan, and, as these
have been found ineapable sf. sf.,,.aaz any
where near filling the demand
8 more are already in course o.
construction, and several Others
have been contracted for. One o.
these present mills is capable o.
cleaning 1000 puds (about 1000
pounds) per day.

COTTON SEED RUBBER.

They are now actually making
India rubber shoes out of cotton
seed oil. This is not a hoax. but
an absolute verify. The factory is
located near Savannah. The site
of five acres was purchased four
miles from that city, a high board
fence was erected around the prop
erty, the factory was built in the
enclosure, and has been running
for months. Nobody knows what
is going on inside the factory ex-
cept a. few ignorant negroes, and
no one is admitted, because the
secret is not patentable. A writer
in the Baltimore Manufacturers
Record writing on this subject
says:
"The bare facts aloue are known
that crude cotton seed oil, costing
about so cents a gallon, or about
s125 a ton, is carted in, in five ton
lots, and that tons of rubber,
worth about $4,000 tcn, are cart
ed out and shipped to avery prom
inent rubber dealer and manutac-
turer in Boston.
The value of the new industry
TO its discoverer and his associates
is indicated by the figures we have
lust given. It is not easy to over
estimate it's value to the South and
to the world. The uses OF rubber
are increasing every year, and the
demand for the article is taxing
the natural supply already. Ii
the artificial product can success
fully be employed for all or most
of the purposes to which the natu-
raj product is applied, or would be
applied if it's cost were cheapened,
there will soon be a market for all
of it that can be made in the
South, and the cotton farmers will
be directly and greatly benefited
by the increased value of the raw
material, cotton seed oil, which
they must supply.
Ithas been predicted that the
seed of the cotton plant will some
day represent a larger value than
the lint, and that it may yet come
to pass that the crop will be plant
ed mainly for the profit in the
seed. 1t really begins to appear
as if the prediction, wild as it
it seemed at first, will yet be veri-
fed. A berry or nut-or whatever
it is-that furnishes at once a
