The hostess who dotes on eXtrava-
CANT simplicity has her dinner table as
plain and simple as possible-a cloth OF
satin Wilderness, ferns instead of flow
ers, unshaded candles instead Of ella bO-
rate and petticoated electric lights or
lamps. The only bit of pretension is
the menu holders, which may serve as
well for the name cards. This bit of
prettiness is in the form Of porcelain

| II 900, 900 bales, II not 1l.250,000 bales,
unless the receipts rs compared with last
year should fall of very materially
during the coming months, of which
there is no symptom
In some respects, the most important
part of the late Census Office report. in
its economic relations to the cotton
+ .oducing and Industrial interests OF the
South, Is that regarding tho rapid de-
velopment of the cottonseed oil indus
try. The utilization Of cottonseed for
industrial purposes has done more for
the enrichment of the planter than any
thing else that has contributed to his
material welfare. 1t has placed him in
an independent position, so that he can
afford to grow cotton and sell it at cost,
relying on the iced Of his crop for his
profit. His seed by-product has be-
come a potent factor in the economy
of his vocation. The 1929 bales OF
inters reported by the Census Office
means the product of 4,27o,ooo tons Of
seed. which. at Sl3 per ton-the price in
bulk at New Orleans-represents value
of SIS, $4,000, equivalent to fully one
cent pound Of lint in crop of 06oo, 900
bales. This amount is a direct addition
to the income of the planter, or an actual
gain, which not many years ago was not
thought Of, as the seed was regarded as
valueless except for manure, even if
saved for this purpose.
To the South this gain means much
more, as all Of this seed is crushed in the
oil mills Of that region. adding nearly so
per cent. to its value, and bringing tho
total cost of seed and manufactured
products to about $s3, 900 900, practically
all of which goes directly into the
pockets of Southern planters and wage
earners. There Is even a greater po-
tentiality in the cottonseed oil industry
than is here represented. for it is not
yet fully developed. With an II, 500 900
bale crop, the product value may be
easily brought to 500, 1000.

The Ctty's Waste.

Commissioner WooDBURY's expert
ments to determine the commercial
practicability Of utilizing great part of
the city's waste products for the genera
ton Of power seem to have demon
strated that the refuse can be used as
fuel at an economical cost and without
offence. The circumstance that the
experiments have been going on for a
month without discovery, because Of
any offensive gases released by them,
suggests that perfect combustion is Sc
cured by his method, and, accordingly,
an important advance has been made
in the solution Of the problem OF the
treatment OF the city waste.
The evidence seems to be conclusive
that the heat produced by the burning
material can be utilized with ease. More
over, the furnace chambers and boiler
setting Of the incinerating plant are not
complicated, and, Of course. the fuel
supply increases steadily and rapidly
with the growth Of the town. 1t may be
assumed that the individuals and cor
porations engaged in the business Of the
generation OF power will be quick to
avail themselves of the opportunity to
lessen its cost which will be offered by
the successful introduction of this new
method Of treating the city's waste.
Major WOODBURY.. it is only just to
record, has improved his department
not only on paper, but also in fact. He
has introduced new and efficient methods
OF cleaning the streets and Of gathering
waste products and disposing Of them in
sanitary and useful ways; and. through
out, his course has been marked by
scientific ability OF 80 high an order
that we hope that in his present expert
ments he will receive hearty and intelli-
gent assistance from the municipal adj
ministration, to whose credit he has
contributed 90 much.
