committee last year showed only 4 per cent
to be cotton seed oil
For the revenue year ending in June there
was sold in the United States LOG, 600, 0Oo
pounds of oleomargarine. -Four per cent Of this is
u fraction over half a million gallons of oil
so used. At 25 cents a gallon. II amounts to
only SI25OOO, or IA cents per bale on a
10000. 600 bale crop. This supposes that
much oil to be lost entirely. but OF course IT
would go into other IL not allowed to
pass as butter.
Half n million gallons OF cotton seed oil from
the entire south--that is not worth snap TO
the cotton farmer because the millers only give
him back the meal and hulls in exchange for
his seed. and he has the trouble OF hauling
both ways besides. There was sold in Geor-
gia along. according TO the government re-
port referred IT, 495. 900 pounds of oleomarga-
rine or practically many pounds OF oleo-
margarine In Georgia as there were gallons OF
oil furnished by the entire cotton producing
states. pound of oleomargarine sells Tor
as much as a gallon of oil, SO that Georgia
pays back to the oleomargarine people all the
money that they pay for the oil from all the
states. So with all the other cotton states.
There Is another way to look at the cotton
seed question In this connection georgia
used ia one year 495,OOO pounds OF oleomar-
garine that displaced 495, 900 pounds of Geor-
gia butter To produce this butter requires
the consumption by the cow or about nve
pounds of cotton seed meal for every pound Of
butter or say i.237 tons. worth at present
wholesale prices about $4,000. The cotton
seed oil used In tho oleomargarine sold in
Georgia is worth about SIS, 600. so that the oil
mills would sell five times the value OF meal
for the loss of sale OF oil. II Is as legitimate
TO count as the other.
The oleomargarine sold In this state last year
displaced tho product of $500 cows. These
cows would have left many thousands OF loads
OF first-class manure that the impoverished soils
of our fields need. besides putting a lot OK
cash In the pockets of their owners. The
oleomarga rine did not leave any manure
money except a paltry S5.OOO. but took out
tens of thousands of dollars.
The sale of oeomargarine is rapidly IN
creasing About 80 per cent more was sold
last year than the year before.
II we are not protected II is only matter
OF time when not only present development in
the dairy business fin our state Will be stop
ped but the advance already made on this
line will be driven from the field.
We have been urged In season and out of
season to diversity. I quit raising ninety
bales Of cotton year and am now getting
less than one-flfth much cotton from tn
same farm tho balance being devoted to dairy
ing Are We TO be driven back to all cotton
with its long train OF trouble?

CLEVELAND TALKS OF
THE NEW CENTURY
PRESIDENT.

New York December 2.-Writing on
THE President of the Twentieth Cen
tury" for copyrighted special issue Of
The New York World tomorrow. ex-Pres-
ident Cleveland refers to the presidential
tenure in these terms:
Thoughtful citizens will moro ana more
appreciate the objections urged against
the present indirect and cumbersome
mode of electing their presidents. The
circumstances IN which this plan Originate
ed. IL ever OF controlling Importance
ought no longer to excuse such barring
confusion OF ideas as grows out or the
proposition that In popular government
tho peoples chief officer and their most
direct representative may be made the
recipient of their trust and the depositary
OF their power In fragrant opposition 10
the declared popular will.
''Stronr arguments are from time to
time urged In favor of n change in the
tenure OF the presidential office. These
should challenge serious attention. TO the
end that the present constitutional limit
may be removed and more reasonable
and useful one substituted. There has
been a continual increase in federal legls-
lation OF n peremptory character and re-
lated TO the immediate and routine ne
cessities OF the country; and so IT has
come 10 pass that of the four sessions or
congress held during a presidential term
two are SO brief as to scarcely permit the
passage Of necessary appropriation bills.
while OF the others one occurs when the
president IS usually strange I'm his new OF
flee and burdcned with opportunities ana
labors inseparable from u change or au-
ministration and the remaining one en-
counters during its continuance the In
te-ruptions, timidity and Generalization
OF a presidential and congressional can
vass. These conditions suggest the scant
opportunity allowed for the initiation ana
adoption OF new and important remedial
legislation during a single presidential
term.
Another argument OF considerable
weight In favor OF the change IS based
upon the complaint that the business ana
other important interests OF our people
are now too frequently disturbed and dis
quieted by the turmoil and heat or
presidential election. It Is not amiss 10
add that a substantial extension OF the
executive tenure would pave the way for
establishing the ineligibnity OF an incum-
bent TO succeed himself which has long
found favor with n large class of our
peopls as a contamination much TO be de-
sired
Thus American citizens in the TWEEN
tieth century viii be- charged with the
duty or securing for themselves the ac-
tual substance OF popular rule by estab-
fishing a more direct mode Of selecting tho
peoples choice OF tho executive In strict
accordance with the peoples viii, ana
bv so extending the tenure OF his office
"a TO enable him 10 better serve his coun-
tryrnen and more thoroughly protect anu
defend all their interests"
