Hold Back Cotton Seed.

The cotton seed oil makers Of Missis.
s'pp', New Orleaus and Memphis in
meeting at Jackson, Miss, have ad.
vIsed the farmers not to sell their
seed, but to use it as fertilizer in i'm :
proving next years crop. In other
words, they have advised the farmers
not 70 sell them the raw material ,hev
need, or at least sell part of the seed
crop.
This action was brought about by
the extraordinary low price of cotton
seed oil, which is only Is cents a gal
lon, as compared with 30 cents las,
year. The big crop has demora. IL ed
not obly the price of cotton, but of
the by-products. The only available
remedy, as seen by the mill men, is
FOR the farmers to holi their cotton
seed as we'll as their cotton.
II was determined to hold conven
tlon at Memphis of all the men en-
gagged in the manufacture Of cotton
seed products, which will arrange a
general programme Of the course to
be pursued to restrict the output Of
cotton seed oil, cake and meal.

he adds:

self-respectiDg bearing Of the people.
They walked with firm step, as if
they knew whuse world it is and felt
they had share in it.
That is fine description of an
American citizen. 1t is especially
gratifying to have dyedin-the.wool
Britisher note the good qualities.
For while there is much whooping
up Of the blood brotherhood idea in
England, and America is loved in an
international way, there is no lodging
the fact that the average Englishman
views the Americans as half-civiliz-
ed, money ,grubbing, always-in-a-hurry
and rather an unscrupulous race.
