VALUABLE AS WAR PRODUCT.
Seed Crushers Point Out Advantages
Of Cotton Crop-OHer Help.

Washington, May 30.--A commit
tee representing the Interstate Cot
ton Seed Crushers' Association yes
terday offered the government the
entire facilities Of the organization
for the period Of the war. They also
called on Herbert c. Hoover and en-
phasized the possibilities Of the cot
ton yield as food crop, declaring
the government had underestimated
it's value In the food growing cam
paign.
MIR. Hoover was told that the cot
ton crop was one of the nations best
food sources and that an ordinary
acreage, besides the cotton staple,
would yield approximately 1,45O,-
100000 pounds Of cotton seed oil,
2,225,O00 tons Of meal, 100000
tons OF hulls and 100000 bales of
linters, the latter invaluable for
ammunition.
Besides the great value of the meal
for animal food it was stated that
ioSSht CNpSi Iluu SHo"ll PER
cent Of cotton seed flour, mixed with
so per cent Of wheat or corn, would
make palatable and highly nutri-
tious bread.
In the eleven cotton States, the
committee told Mr.. Hoover, an an
nual saving of 100,000,000 bushels
Of corn could be made by mixing
two pounds of cotton seed meal in
the food Of each horse or mule. This
would replace four pounds of the Ia
pounds Of corn fed each animal
daily.
The crop Of 1915, it was said, pro-
duced 167, 100000 gallons of vegeta-
bic fats, Of which 9S7,794,OOO
pounds was converted into edible
oils. cooking fats and buffers. If
one-third of the oil now going into
soap and cheap industrial products
could be diverted into food products
it would add 4OO,O00,O0O to 5O0,-
100000 pounds to the nations sup
ply Of fats.

Cold weather in April and May
hurt the cotton crop severely. through
the entire South.
Revised estimates announced to-
day Of the area planted and in cult
walton at the end Of June last year
place the acreage at 36.052.OO0. The
area picked last year at 34,936,O00
acres, and the yield per acre at 1876. 6
pounds Of lint.
An official statement to-day by the
Department Of Agriculture says,
Temperatures for many days in
early May were so low that frost
formed even in the southern part Of
the cotton belt. Much cotton was
killed outright and the stand was
damaged everywhere.
"There has been much replanting
in every State, and the cotton every
where has stunted appearance, and
has grown but little. In addition to
cold weather, drouth In some sections
has kept the seed from terminating
The crop will average probably three
weeks late in age and probably more
in size and appearance.
MANY sections report lice. There
Is some complaint OF weeviis, but
they have not shown up as yet to any
great extent, probably owing to the
lateness Of the crop. Generally. cui-
tivating is fully up, to normal and
there is little grass in the fields.
There is a considerable shortage in
the labor supply, but farmers are
we'll up with their work in most
places owing to the generally dry
weather prevailing during most OF
the month.
"The labor shortage applies to the
States east Of the Mississippi river;
those west Of the river probably have
sufficient labor to make the crop"

BENEn,CTS EXEMPT FROM CALL.

{ tEreenville NeWs.)

Washington, May 30.-"Although
the law Is fairly we'll understood re-
garding the question Of exemptions
under the draft plan," officials Of the
War Department said to-day, "it is
NOW and will be impossible to lay
down any iron-clad rule which would
obtain IN making exemptions"
/ Hundreds Of letters are coming In
to the Secretary Of War daily and to
naiab9ra Of Congress asking for rul-
sstat S9lf various phases Of the situa-
ftto" tehd to give as comprehensive
.a5tcply as possible, the following has
been outlined.
Married men will be exempt from
conscription for the raising of the
flrsS national army Of 100000 men,
according. to reported preliminary
plan OF Tie War Department. No
SPECIFIED Industries or occupations
viii be exempt. These are the two
principal decisions reached so far by
the officials who conferred on the
plau, All that remains now is for
the President to ratify them
She, exemption of men with de-
p"rdonts and those needed in the in
dnssries Of the country has proven
the most difficult problem to work
out IN way to secure anything like
jnst ce IN operation. The difficulty
OF determining whether or not mar
ried man was actually needed at
homo was the consideration that
finally determined the officials to ex-
empt% all married men. AS to men
with other dependent relatives, such
as an aged mother or father, the de-
cision will be left to the local county
or city board, subject to appeal to
the higher board created in each
Federal Judicial District. Appeal
from the district board may in turn
be made to the President of the Uni
ted States.
"The question of industrial exemp-
tion is even more difficult. For ex-
ample, it Is agreed among the off,
cials that the mere fact that man
is a farmer, munitions maker or
even a railroad engineer does not
necessarily imply that he would be
of more use at home than in the
army.
Itmay be possible to spare many
men from the farms and the factories
war goods. There will be
need for q considerable number of
locomobile and locomotive engineers,
possibly for all such engineers in the
country under 81 years Of age, with
an army in France. After considera-
tion Of the question from every an
gle, 1t was decided that there is no
class that can be exempted
as such.
1T was determined that there is
no way to make general industrial
exemptions, but to take up each indi-
vidual man or group of workmen in
q specific industry or a specific agri-
cultural community and decide that

Clemson College, 8. C.-Where pro.

SMALL COST ICELESS COOLER.
Can BE Used to Great Advantage III
Food Keeping.

Washington, May 81 21.-Refrigera-
tors, can be made to do their part in
conserving food this summer. Pre-
serving milk, butter and other sup
plies and keeping left-overs and un-
used portions until they are needed
will be their service. If ice is not
obtainable, an iceless refrigerator,
cooled by evaporation, can be easily
constructed. Women demonstrators
in extension work, South, Of the Uni
ted States Department of Agricul-
ture, tell how to make such cooler
at a small cost.
This refrigerator consists of a
wooden frame covered with canton
flannel, burlap or heavy duck. 1t Is
desirable that the frame be screened,
although this is not necessary.
Wicks, made OF the same material as
the covering, resting in pan of wa
ter on top of the cooler, conduct the
water over the sides and ends of the
pan and allow 1t to seep down the
sides Of the box. The evaporation
from this moistened covering causes
lower temperature inside. On dry,
hot days temperature Of so de-
grees has been known to be obtained
in the cooler. This is the way to
build It:
Make a screened case three and
one-half feet high with the other
dimensions IL by Is inches. If a
solid top Is used, simply place the
water pan on this. Otherwise fit
the pan closely into the opening of
the top frame and support it by one
inch cleats fastened to the inside of
the frame. Place two movable
shelves in the frame, IL to ! 5 inches
apart. Use biscuit pan IL by ID
inches on the top to hold the water,
and where the refrigerator is to be
used indoors have the whole thing
standing in a large pan to catch any
drip. The pans and case may be
painted white, allowed to dry and
then enameled. A covering of white
the frame. Have the smooth side
out and button the covering on the
frame with bnggy or automobile cur
tain hooks and eyes, arranged so
that the door may be opened without
unfastening these hooks. This can
easily be done by putting one row
of hooks on the edge Of the door
near the latch and the other just op-
posite the opening with the hem on
each side extended far enough to
cover the crack at the edge of the
door, so as to keep out the warm,
outside air and retain the cooled air.
rhis dress, or covering, will have to
be hooked around the top edge also.
Two double strips One-half the width
of each side should be sewed on the
top of each side covering and allow
ed to extend over about two and one
half or three inches in the pan of
water. The bottom Of the covering
should extend into the lower Pan.
Place the refrigerator in a shady
place where the air will circulate
around it freely. If buttons and but
ton holes are used on the canton fan
mel instead Of buggy hooks, the cost
will be reduced.
