COTTON SEED CONFERENCE.
Make PROTEST IN CONFERENCES
TO HOOVER'S PLAN,
food Administrator Gives Assurances
That No Price Fixing is Under Con-
temptation.

Washington, Oct. 15.-Representa-
uves OF cotton seed producers of the
South, In conference here today with
the food administration, asked that
no move be made towards imposing
restrictive regulations calculated to
cause drop in the market price. AL
though assurances were reiterated bv
Herbert c. Hoover that a price for the
product would not be fixed, the dele
gates are contesting a proposed plan
to bring the industry under federal
supervision by means of a licensing
system.
The cotton seel interests are pre-
dicating their appeal against re-
duction in price on the drop Of $40 a
ton in the market price caused by the
recent exclusion Of the product from
the New York exchange. and on the
greatly increased production costs.
In conference with food administra-
tion officials the delegates said regu-
latiOn of the trade is Unnecessary at
this time because Of the prevailing
low price. They maintained that the
marke price Of the product, which al
ways has been based on the prices of
packers products, is at a relatively
depressed point.
Conferences will be resumed tomor-
row and it is expected that Mr.. Hoov-
er will issue a statement outlining in
general form the plans Of the food
administration for control of the in.
dustry.
Among the representatives at to-
days conference were ]. ]. Brown
commissioner of agriculture of Geor-
gia; L. B. Jackson, director of the
Georgia bureau Of markets: J. H
Mills, president Of the Georgia Farm
