FOOD FROM THE COTTON FIELD.


According to recent monograph
by Erwin W. Thompson, commercial
agent of the department of commerce,
European nations are finding out very
rapidly how to make food of our cot
ton seed oil. France, Italy and other
southern nations have always consid-
cred oil an essential article Of diet
Olive oil is their native supply. but
they have now learned the economy
OF cotton seed oil, which is lower
in price but not lower in nutritive
value.
bulletin issued by the department
says:
Germany, the Netherlands and other
northern countries, like ourselves, are
not fond Of eating pure oil, but need
more butter than the cattle can pro
duce. SO they resort to artificial butter
and have developed 1t to high degree
OF palatabilty. The surprising state

ing artificial butter f''margarin" they
call III to the extent Of $4,000 tons per
year, and the significant part Of the
story is that in 1918 they used as an
ingredient over 100000 barrels of cot
tonseed oil from America, and are
planning for an increase in 1914.
By the recently discovered process
OF solidifying liquid oils, cotton seed
oil is now beginning to compete with
hard cocoanut oil, which sells at even
higher prices than olive oil. and ig
becoming very popular as an ingred-
lent OF artificial butter.
Cotton seed oil has exactly ten.
times the nutritiye value of beefsteak
and costs only half as much As the
United States makes each year over
three million barrels of refined cotton
seed oil, 1t is worth while to study
the various methods Of making it ac-
ceptable as food.
