tity of cotton seed produced, most of
the crop found its way back into the
soil. To day the cotton seed is looked
upon with admiring homage. On &C
count OF it's increased value the farmer
cannot afford to fertiliEe his soil with
IL as In times past, but prefers to haul
it into market, where it becomes tribu
tary to the cotton seed industry.
Since the birth of the cotton seed in
dustry In this section each year has
enlarged it's growing area and increased
the scope of its possibilities AT the
present time the finest quality of salad
oils, compound lard, butterine and
other products are made from cotton
seed; while the waste material result
ing is used to fAtten COWS and hogs for
market. II such results have been ac-
complished during the brief period Of
only ten years, can anyone limit the
possibilities which the future holds in
store for the cotton Reed3
As to the present Size and import
ance of the industry il is estimated
that the total weight Of cotton seed
products manufactured in the South is
fully equal to half the weight of the
cotton crop. This is something enor

weight of cotton seed products manu-.
factured not less than 2, 500, 000, 600
pounds. But there is still room for
much greater expansion. On the Ru
thority Of agricultural experts, it ia
stated that the total amount Of cotton
seed produced yearly is double the
amount of cotton baled; and applying
this ratio to the present crop, it makes
the amount OF cotton seed aggregate at
least 10000, 900, 900 pounds. As the
products manufactured from cotton
seed aggregate in weight only one
fourth of this amount, it is evident
that the industry aS yet consumes only
small percentage of the cotton seed
