COTTON AS FOOD PRODUCT.
Seed Crushers Point Out its Advan.

Washington, May "a committee
representing the Interstate Cotton
Seed 'Crushers' association today. Of
fefed the government the entire facil-
tiles Of the organization for the, period
OF the war. They also called on Her.
bert c. Hoover and emphasized the
possibilities Of the cotton yield as a
food crop, declaring the government
had underestimated its value in the
food growing campaign.
Mr.. 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 1850. .OOO.-
600 pounds OF cottonseed oil. $2,-
100000 tons Of meal. 10000 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 re-
cent experiments had shown 20 per
cent. Of cottonseed -four mixed with
80 per cent. of. wheat or corn would
make a palatable and highly nutri-
tious bread.
In the IL cotton States, the COM
mittee told Mr.. Hoover. an annual
saving of 10O.00O.OOO bushels of corn
could be made by mixing two pounds
of cottonseed meal in the food Of each
horse or mule. This would replace
four pounds of the ID pounds of corn
fed each animal daily.
The crop Of 1915. it was said, pro-
duced 167.0OO.OOO gallons of vegeta
BILE fats, OF which sS7.794. 900 pounds
vas converted into edible oils, cook
Ing fats and buffers. If one-third of
the oil now going into soap and cheap
Industrial products could be diverted

VOLUNTEER PLAN NOT SUCCESS

CRUITS FOR REGULARS.
Campaigns in Prospect for Raising
Army to Its Newly Established War
Strength.

Washington, May 29.-War depart
ment officials are pointing to the daily
recruiting figures as proof anew that
tho volunteer system again has broken
down in time of national emergency.
Yesterdays regular army recruiting
brought in 2,237 men, making a total
Of s7.51S since April !. But army
officers declare that q great drive for
volunteers to fill the army and Ma
tional' Guard to the new war strength
will be necessary unless there is to be
serious delay in organizing the newly
authorized regiments. These, of
course. are for the regular army and
quite apart from the army to be rails
ed by selective draft. Despite the
fact that the nation Is at war and
American regulars are under orders
fer the fighting front in France, less
than 100000 men have enlisted since
April in the regulars and National
Guard.
The present rate of enlistment
1920 to 800 a day--officials say
must be increased to 10000 or 90
900 day II the forces which in all
probability will be among the first ia
follow Maj. Gen. Pershing's division
to Europe are to go forward prompt
ly. An appeal to the country from the
president may be necessary to ge,
the men.
The National Guard is in an even
worse situation. The present tota
strength Of the force is less than
200.0 and raised to a war footing
as has been ordered. should total 33O,.
900. In addition the 16 Nationa
Guard division plan on which the wal
department~is working would require
nearly as many more to fill necessar,
additional regiments.
The most striking fact IN connec

an eloquent speech, telling Of the bat
tie which was fought here. He said
that the Yankees were licked. He
said that there had often been a
contest as to which side won the
battle. but that the Confederates were
left In command Of the field after the
battle and IL that was not winning it,
he did not know what was, despite
Gen. Wilder's assertions. He gave in
nuent language a description of the
battle. with names of places and COM

men and other statistics. which he had
probably given in congress when he
was seeking to have this place con-
verted into a national park. as 1t now
