WOULD CREATE MARKETS
FOR COTTON SEED AND OIL

Washington, November 23.-(Special)--
Members of the Texas and Louisiana dele
cations in Congress are urging the de-
partment OF commerce and labor to ap-
point a special agent to investigate the
possibilities of increasing our foreign
trade in cotton Seed cotton seed oil and
other productions
The last session of Congress appro-
priated $4,000 to defray the cost of a
movement to create a greater demand
abroad for American manufactured pro-
ducts, including cotton goods. and many
southern congressman are now of the
opinion that the cotton seed products
trade should be helped along at the same
time. The bill which passed the House
carried only $4,000 for the cotton goods
campaign. On reaching the Senate it was
amended by the addition of $4,000 and the
item specially reads in the act Twenty
thousand dollars shall be used in the in
vestigation of markets for cotton pro-
ducts"
