case. and some arrangement should be
made to make up this deficit. We
should spend at least 81, 900 per year
instead Of $500 for advertising our
products
you will note that we have obligated
our association for more than our
years income, which has been brought
about by the extraordinary expenses
called for by the work we have done
during the past year. / believe this
deficit can be easily wiped out next
year by our good membership COM
mittee. to whom much praise is due
for their efficient work last year.
They have worked faithfully, and add
ed many new members to our roll.
Il would suggest that a larger com
mittee be appointed next year, and
each member especially selected for his
fitness as solicitor of memberships.
Fifty new members will add $500 to
our receipts, and 100 new members,
81 900, and / do not think the latter
number will be hard to obtain, If our
committees make the proper effort

refused to give detailed account OF
the experiences with the admiral.
However, he enjoyed himself on the
former occasion to such an extent that
he proposed making Pensacola the
permanent meeting place of the con-
vention and was loudly applauded when

Mr.. KYsER SPEAKS.
Mr.. Kyser said:
mr.. President, Ladies and Gentle
men and Fellow Crushers:
81 consider 1t q great pleasure and
privilege to have the opportunity of
addressing the cotton seed crushers Of
Alabama in this famous southern city
whose hospitable people have invited
us in their midst again. The large at
tendance on this occasion is sufficient
evidence Of what the cotton seed
crushers of Alabama think of Pensa-
cola as q convention city. Many of
us attended the convention in this city
two years ago and have not forgotten
the hearty welcome extended us by
the Commercial Association and the
royal good time each Of us enjoyed on
that occasion. We have not forgotten
the splendid accommodations and SER
vice rendered by the San Carlos hotel
under the management Of that prince
OF hotel men, Mr.. Geo. H Hervey. We
have not forgotten the courtesies ex-
tended us by the press OF this city and
I want to say 1t right here that
want to make motion before our con-
vention adiourns to make Pensacola
the permanent place for holding our
annual conventions in the future.
THE subject which has been as
signed to me is one Of great import
ance and one which concerns the
farmer as well as the cotton seed oil
mills of the south. The advantage de-
rived by the farmer who exchanges his
cotton seed for cotton seed meal and
bulls and fertilizers It is true that
we have made wonderful progress in
recent years towards educating our
farmers as to the value of cotton seed
meal and hulls as a feed for farm
animals but there is still work for us
to do in this direction and will be
as long as hundreds and thousands of
