SEED WORTH $40. 600. 900.

HERE is a fascination about the way that
the prosac little old cotton seed Is being
made 10 Weld gold that used to be lost com
Il pletelv to the worlds economics. Formerly
the SEED were thrown away. They we're
considered worse than a waste product, for it was
sometimes problem to get rid OF them
Experts say that the process for extracting oil
from cotton seed has been known for fifty years. ana
that for twenty years past it has recognized
contributor to commerce. But southern men VINO
are not, yet nearly middle aged can remember when
the seed were thrown away. The cotton seed oil
industry seems to have grown by leaps and bounds
particularly during the last decade. Mills have
sprung up everywhere. There are today about SuO
of them in the cotton belt Now, no farmer thinks
of throwing away his cotton seed-for they nave
added from S15 to $40 the value of every bale OF
cotton he produces and the farmer gets about $40
of that
Out of them has been created an industry wnlcn
puts in circulation some $50OOO,OoO each season.
On a 12milion bale crop they have added ap-
proximately $12OOOOOOO to the farmers returns for
his labor
In short. what was a waste product has become
a very important by-product
E. P. McBurney, of Atlanta, president of the Cot
ton Seed Crushers of Georgia. is an authority the
cotton seed phase of the great cotton industry The
information that follows furnished by him.
WHAT BECOMES OF SEED.
The purchase of the cotton seed by representa-
tives of the oil mill takes place at the gin or at
railroad stations where the farmers bring 1t in their
wagons: or at the mill, where farmers in the sur
rounding country deliver it. Sometimes the farmers
take the seed home with them from the gin' and
hold it for better market.
At the oil mill the seed is dumped into conveyors
which pour it into the bins of the seed houses each
bin being enectually walled house with its ca
paeitv known in tons Later the seed is conveyed
to the mill proper
The first step in the manufacturing process is TO
work the seed over screen to free 1T OF sand ana
dirt Then it goes to the linten room where the
fine lint left by the gin is taken from the seed
This lint has commercial value Of from IL
to cents pound according to grade, and is usetul
for stunng mattresses and sofa pillows, for lining
carpets for making twines, for stufing harness col
lars and harness pads and for numerous other
purposes The very fine lint is used in the manu-
facture of smokeless powder. The lint is packed
in 5OOpound bales and is ready for SALE after which
it follows some one of the manifold processes Of
manufacture indicated above
In some mills the seed goes next to de-linting
machines where the very finest lint is taken of,
Then the seed goes on to the huller. The seed
is cracked in this machine, and the meat kernel is
extracted.
HULS, MEAL AND OIL
The huIls go on over heaters, to extract stray
meat particles clinging to their nsides. Then they
20 into the hull house, where they stored loose
or are sacked, or are sometimes baled. Then they
are ready for the market, for use in stock feeding
