Cotton Seed Industry.
The petition of Messrs. Burnham and
Lockwood, which was presented to the
Board of Aldermen at its meeting Monday
night, is of more importance than one
would imagine at first thought. The petit
tions want TO lease the unoccupied piece
! of land in the rear of the filtration plant
| for experimental purposes in connection
with the cotton seed, which is cleansed
from the raw material.
| The Crefeld works buy the raw material
direct from the cotton growers of the
South, and put it through course OF
cleansing preparatory to putting it upon
| the market. Messrs. Burnham and Lock-
wood are strongly of the opinion that this
seed and refuse matter is the best article
| in the market for enriching the soil and
extending it's productive qualities. The
| land in question, il obtained, will be
! worked over and full demonstration
made of its merits.
