begin her regular winter cruising
schedule. The new parts for the engines
of the vessel. it is reported. have ar
rived in the city, and the workmen
will begin during the current week to
install them.
Commander Dempf. commanding the
organization, is anxious to get the yes
sci in repair so that the officers and
men may get some much needed practice
in cruising. The Sylvia has been laid
up for nearly six months waiting the
determination of the Navy Department
to provide the needed repairs
The local naval militiamen have had
practically no practice on her during
the summer just past, and all OF the
drills and exercises since they re-
turned from their annual cruise aboard
the Kearsarge have been confined to
the steam launches and whaleboats.
Commander Dempf said Thursday
night that as soon as the Sylvia had
been repaired and had had her dock trials
she would be taken out every Sunday
when the river is open to navigation
All of the small boats assigned to
the local naval militia, including those
hanging to the Sylvias davits, were
taken out in the harbor Thursday night
for a flotilla drill under the direction
Of Ensign Wilbert +. Locklin. They
were given evolutions in line and col
umn formation and maneuvering, and
it was after 10 O'Clock before the sal
lors reported their return to the dock
and secured the boats for the night.
Commander Dempf complimented the
second division for the excellent at
tendance record it has maintained dur
ing the past few weeks.
The two steam launches used by the
battalion as drill boats have been thor
oughly overhauled and renovated un-
der the direction Of Ensign Wilhert E.
Locklin.

Cottonseed and the Lint.
from the birmingham Ledger.


This meeting of cottonseed crushers
is a reminder that we are approaching
the time when the seed will equal, OF
exceed, the lint cotton in money value
A bale of cotton-which is the basis Of
all estimates-is made from 1,50t
pounds of seed cotton. After 1t IL
ginned it yields 500 pounds of lint an6
1000 pounds of seed, which is half q
ton.
Just now the 500 pounds of lint cotton
is worth about $45, and the 1000 pounds
of seed bring about Sill. The seed used
to be thrown away. So the seed have
come to be worth about one-fourth as
much as the cotton, with a constantly
increasing value.
People want the oil, and cattle want
the hulls. The oil cake is coming into
use not only for cattle, but for human
food The oil cake with wheat flour
makes a good bread, good to look upon
and certainly good to eat. If the use
of the oil cake grows like the use of the
oil and the hulls. the seed. will soon
equal and then surpass the lint In val.
ne. We hope for that.
