Big Cotton Oil Refining Mill.

What is claimed to be the largest cotton
oil refining mill in the world was put in OPP
Grafton in Sherman Oct 10, when steam was
started in the plant of the Interstate Cotton
Oil Refining Co.
In Texas alone the cotton seed crop is
worth about $70000,000 per annum, and each
year finds the demand greater than the year
before. In this state there are 175 mills, and
more than $10000000 is invested in machin-
cry, while 5000 men are given employment
at good wages. 1t was in 1898 that the first
cotton seed meal was sold for stock feed, and
only recently for human consumption. As
a stock feed il is more to be appreciated on
account of short corn crops and the neglect
our farmers usually give to feed crops gen
orally
But few years ago gin men quarreled with
farmers who would not haul their cotton
seed away from the gin and dump in some
ont of the way place Burning the seed was
also one way of getting rid of them.

Cost of Clearing Land.

Prof. f.. j. Kyle horticulturist at the A. &
NJ. College says:
Sprouts on blackjack and postoak should
be removed and kept down from the time
growth starts in the spring until growing
ceases in the autumn.
Large trees are an indication of good
deep soil, containing the proper amount of
moisture.
"Thickly wooded land is as a general thing
rather expensive to clear. but this expense
may be considerably reduced if there is
market for the cut wood in the vicinity or
if the haul to the railroad is not too great
and the wagon roads not too bad So MANY
local factors enter into this question that il
is difficult to give a definite answer as 10
the cost of clearing per acre However, mes
quite land has been cleared for 81 per acre
while heavy growth timber in East Texas
will cost as high as $50 and 500 for clear
