Special 70 Times Democrat.
shreveport, Oct. 9.--As the result
OF close organization the planter ~
upper CaddO. Bossier and Red River
parishes have won q fightin the mat
ter OF the price to be paid them
this season for cotton seed bv The
local oil mills. At the beginning ~
tine season It IL asserted upon excel-
lent authority that the mills Objected
q combination and agreed that an
per ton would be the price paid Tor
seed. The planters claim that thew
have had this to contend against Tor
several seasons past, and although
an organization was formed In Red
kiver parish two years ago. one of
the objects Of which was to secure =
more equitable price for their cotton
seed. 1t had no appreciable effect be-
cause there was but one railroad from
that section into Shreveport and the
river was low. For that reason IL
was not considered q factor by the |
mill people.
About September /, the planters Of |
upper CaddO formed the CaddO Gin.
ner's Association. the first object Of |
winch was to fix ginning rates. How
aver. the scope soon broadened. and |
the seed question received serious con.
1t was resolved to take
protective measures toward obtain
ng q better market price for seed. /
t0ii0wing this action. the planters
a upper Bossier formed the Bossfer
SEED Association, and the three or
yanizattons were then In q position
20 treat with the mills.
Their agents could obtain no con-
essions from the oil mills, however.
mo they then set about to ship their I
eed product abroad. They found /,
nat seed was selling for $l8 per ton
It Nacogdoches, Tex, SIT at Paris. I
nd freely from SIS to SIS per ton At
'ther Texas points. They were offer
d $lS at Kansas City.
AT this point u new difficulty con- r
ronted them--the matter of freight ! :
ates. This was finally settled to the
ovantage Of the planters. hOweyer
nd 1t To learned that Texas peonIe
otaned contracts for about 5000 tons.
ONE was actually shipped, there be-
y q demand for seed in Texas for
ed for cattle, it being stated that
le crop In that State IL not enough
= that purpose.
1t was at this juncture that the
cal mills became alarmed and the
nee here was raised few DAYS AGO Z
]l5 per ton. The Shreveport mills g
ZEN made overtures for the contracts u
10 ~ the Texas purchasers. and IL x
stated that the seed was thus ee- a
lred BY the local MILLS with the under Q
anding that the the hulle and meal n
