not to mention certain flbers from the
plant itself. The fuzz from the linters is
used for certain high explosives and is so
important that Germany imported thou
sands of tons of the cotton burrs or linters
before the war to secure this fine gun cot
ton. These flbers are too short to be Sc
cured by the regular ginning process. and
also are finer and therefore pack more
closely than the ordinary cotton. Their
value was only recently discovered.
Under the present processes of manu-
facture the crude oil represents 81 per
cent of the cotton by-products' value: the
meal 3S per cent the hulls per cent and
the linters per cent. 1t is expected that
a great advance In the utilization of the
value of these last two articles will be
made within the next few years. The
commercial value of all of these products
has been chiefly developed within the last
twenty years. Before the civil war cotton
seed was regarded as a nuisance to be got
ten rid of as quickly as possible. 1t was
dumped into waste places or into running
streams. Legislative action prohibited
both of these dispositions because it rot
ted and became offensive when dumped
upon the ground and polluted the water
when poured into the streams 1t finally
became customary to burn it. and billions
of dollars went up in smoke as a result.
Over twenty-five years ago Edward At
kinson. a Boston economist. who had stud
led the subject. announced that cotton
seed. weighing twice as much as the fiber
would ultimately come to, has at least half
of its value. Now nearly $100.000.0O0 is
invested in about 1000 cottonseed mills
throughout the southern states, giving en-
ployment to at least $4,000 persons. The
energy operating them amounts to 100000
horsepower, supplied chiefly by steam. and
this power has increased $50 per cent
within ten years.

who have been working on the pro-
ject during the last few weeks. and
before long work will be started
which will make the town of Dayville
thing Of the past.
Borings have been made along the
bed of the river at what is known
as Picture Gulch, and bedrock, on
which the foundations of a huge ir-
rigation dam may be laid, has been
found at depth of rs feet
The artificial lake which will be
formed when the government project
is completed will have a surface area
of 200 square miles. and will IN all
probability cover the spot where the
town of Dayville now stands. Water
which in the spring usually goes to
waste, will be conserved and in the
arid months which follow will be dol

1t is estimated that the waters 50
