SEED IS LARGE
LOCAL INDUSTRY
Memphis Biggest Crushing
Center in World and One of
Chief Markets for the
Products.

Millions OF dollars annually are rep
resented In the industry Of ~cottonseed
crushing in Memphis, while other mil
Hons are involved in the business han
died through this center from the terri
tory contiguous. More seed are crushed
hare than at any center in the world,
about a dozen mills being engaged
therein, while an increasing amount OF
the products are being converted into
the finished product The mills are
operated only a part OF each year, the
seed supply being insufficient to keep
them busy all the time. They draw
their supplies from several states,
helped by the excellent transportation
facilities, although competition from the
interior mills Is such that the area Is
limited.
Statistics are unavailable as to how
much seed are annually crushed here,
but they total way up into the thou
sands OF tons, a large proportion Of
which come from the rich alluyial sec
lions where quality lie better han those
SFown In the hill sections. The oil con-
tent the most valuable part, Is greater
and the result Is that prices always are
higher whore grade and condition are
the same. The chief products araN oil,
meal cake, nnters and hulls. II Is fig-
ured that the seed and products add
each year to tho value Of the cotton
crop not less than q quarter OF a billion
dollars The proportion OF this handled
by the local trade compared with the
citya part in handling the lint cotton
crop Ia not anything like as large, for
the reason that the seed are more bulky
and marketing OF them and their prod
uots do not require anything like the
expert skin that the other does.
The oil, which comes from the mills
IN crude form, has then TO bs refined
before 1t is sold for edible and most
other purposes, most OF which In done
outside the cotton belt. This city has
some refineries, but they use only a
small part OF the output OF the mills
here and In this territory. The one
largest use of cottonseed oil is in the
manufacture OF cooking fats and oils,
90 the principal purchasers are the
packers and those engaged in making
such. Tho low grades, however, find an
enormous use In the manufacture OF
soaps. some Of the finest qualities having
cottonseed oil as one OF their basic
ingredients. The oil also goes into al
most numberless other things, but its
greatest use is for edible purposes, edu-
cation OF its values having made won
derful progress during the past few
years..
Additional Uses.
The meal and cake, the chief residue
left after the oil IL crushed out, afford
~nnexcelled feed for live stock where
concentrated strength is desired. while
the low grade quality finds its way
into the finest sorts Of fertilizer where
ammonia Is desired, The hulls are used
