IL Is claimed by its patentees and pro
moters will revolutionize the paper
making industry of the United States
The machine is dcfiberating ma
chine, and separates the short. H.
brous cotton from the cotton seed
after all other machinery has been
used for similar purpose.
1t is known TO those familiar with
the cotton oil milling business, that
after the seed is taken from the gin
ner there is quite a quantity of cotton
left on 1t. For the purpose of separ
ating the seed from this short cottos
the seed are run through another
process. making what Is known to the
trade as lintcrs. a very short cotton.
which is baled and shipped to Europe
and used in the manufacture of GER
tain kinds of cloth. These linters do
not bring anything like the price of
cotton with a longer staple hut the
machinery which separates the seed
| from this lint was hailed with great
JOY. for II developed the cotton seed
| industry and now what was formerly
considered great waste M the cot
| ton producing business has been made
int6 a merchantable product and has
caused demand for cotton seed. Be
! fore this machinery was introduced,
! II is "A wei known fact that the seed
were thrown away for the most part.
In some localities they actually be-
came a nuisance, and laws were pass
ed against the practice OF throwing
them out where hogs and other stock
colad get to them.
The machinery which Is being test
ed at the plant of the Sherman Oil
and Cotton companys plant in this
city goes still a step further and
makes another waste product into a
merchantablc product.
II will be remembered that even af'
ter the oil mill machinery has separ'
ated the Inter cotton from the seed
and the seed are ready to be made
into meal and hulls, there Is yet a
white covering on the seed. The de-
fiberating machine takes this white
covering from the seed. leaving the
seed as black as FURNISHED piece OF
| jet and also separates all particles OF
| n A
| Tinted cotton that is taken from the
seed. 1t Is claimed that this short
fibre cotton will take the p lace ol
| wood pulp in the manufacture II al
| kinds CT paper from common news
| to the very highest and best grades
OF writing paper.
Il has long been known that cottor
! will make good paper but even x
: make paper from the "linters' is Sc
| costly that the experiment has here
| tofore stopped at an experiment. Az
| II is this very thing that the pIcsen
machine is claimed to fully overcome
The fibre comes from the cotton see'
SO short that after It Is bleacIad an,
put in the proper wash 1t at once d'S
solves into the proper pulp proper
tions. and can then be made ioto an
| quality of paper desired,
III Negotiations for a demonstrate
| of this machine have been IN f.
| quite while with the Sherman pee
pie and Edwin c. dSegundo OF l.ol
don, England. promoter OF the enc
prise. Mr.. d Segindo first visite
Sherman last September for the pu
pose of an interview with the oil mi
| people here. Later c. II. Reynell
expert engineer, who Is conductin
!! the demonstration here, came and fc
= several weeks has been working
get the machinery in position. Ner
| little has been said about the matte
and when the oil mill people wei
asked about what was taking plaC
at the mill the reply always can
that some new machinery was beir
Installed, which would shortly b
tried. This has been mentioned
the local press a number OF times
the work progressed but the real n
ture OF the machinery was not know
to the people outside of the promo
ers and the mill men until late yc
terday afternoon.
Besides making the fibre referr'
TO, the machinery also makes q
hulls into a finer article of feedstu
than even before, ana It would see
that there is In the right near futu
