While attending the meeting of the Arkansas Press association recently at Morrilton the writer had the pleasure of eating bread made from cotton seed flour and was surprised at it's fine flavor, be- ing much more palatable than Bos- ton Brown bread, which it re- sembled in looks. Chemists claim that the nutriment contained in this flour is much more that of wheat flour or corn meal and doc tors claim that on account of the lack of starch in it. that it is SUI perior to all other foods for those afflicted with many ailments which preclude a starch diet. Thls flour when it becomes generally used will mean much to the cotton farm CT of the South in the way of more money for his cotton seed and also to the consumer on account o' cheaper flour.
