Buckeye Erects
TWO Plants For
By-PrOductS

To develop a marketable bi-product
from a commodity Of the cotton indus
try for which there is at present no
demand at all, the Buckeye Cotton OIL
company will spend three quarters Of
q million dollars, or more, In erecting
two plants In the South.
Al the close OF the war the cotton
industry found that the $50, 900 tons OF
cotton seed hull %shavings, which had
eagerly consumed by the munition
plants, were no longer salable at any
price. Persistent experiments proved
that 1.-THE hull shavings could be made
into a pulp that would produce the
finest grades of bond paper, and read
ily salable to the paper mills in the
New England states.
One of the big plants will be built at
Memphis n the other at Augusta,
Ga. Officials Of the company would
not state the estimated cost OF the
plant but 1t is understood on good au-
thority that each plant will cost $685.
600 and possible considerably more.
Fred b. Young. & Son, contractors,
have been awarded the contract for
the erection OF the Memphis plant, and
work ha already started on a l5-acre
tract of ground just south of the Buck
eye mill, on Raleigh road, purchased
from James Sloan for SIS, $50. 1t is
hoped to have the plant completed by
the first OF the year. IL will require
about 100 men to operate the new in
