the dainty enameled lips flare into
a white ruffied border almost as wide
as the body of the shell. This is a
departure from family regulations,
too.
These trumpet shells inhabit the
Red Sea, the Indian Ocean and the
Philippines. The shells are very love-
ly and are often seen among choice
collections. We have heard that on
several occasions, our soldiers have
collected some very unusual and
beautiful shells in their travels. and
the warm seas have some very ex-
quisite ones. The empty homes
tossed up on white sandy beaches
are too conspicuous to be over
looked.
In this group. the shell is spiral.
rather thick, with one, perhaps two.
varices to each whorl. The aperture
is round with thick lips and anterior
canal Is present. The mantle is in
closed.
This trumpet she'll has quite a
small foot, but it manages to make
speed when trouble is brewing. The
way one of these heavy shells is bal
anced by the creature beneath it is
marvellous. The creature goes about
seeking food. the strong, cumber-
some roof Of its home being carried
with apparent ease. It is a roomy
affair, permitting it's builder to with
draw from the public and mostly
from foes, the door being closed
with the foot.
The siDhon is short and the lin
quail ribbon is set with seven rows
of teeth. This tongue can rasp the
food into soft mixture in a very
short time.
When out seeking food. the ewes
on tentacles seek out every possible
chance for a square meal. With no
time out. these ewes can disappear,
the tentacles protecting them from
harm.
Most Of the members Of this FAM
lily subsist on decaying animal mat
ter. They, as scavengers, do their
part IN Keeping the water free from
such Objectionable material. The
tritons live from low water to so
fathOms deep
When these creatures die. they
become the food Of neighbors. Final
ly, through the disturbance of the
waters caused by storm, many of the
empty shells are cast upon the sands
and are picked up by collectors, who
send them to far places.

Uncle Roy's Corner

II some one asked you to nams
the greatest cotton growing State
Pin the United States. what would
you say?
The right answer would be
Texas" That State grows more
cotton than any other. Last year
it produced 1888 900 bales, which is
quite bit Of cotton!
Mississippi and Arkansas rank
second and third. With Texas,
they grow more cotton than any
country outside North America,
Among the other important cotton
States are Alabama, Georgia, Okla
homa and the Carolinas.
We usually figure the weight Of
bale of cotton at 500 pounds, but
this is not world standard. Cotton
growers in Egypt often bundle cot-
ton into bales of from TOO to TAO
pounds. In India a common weight
is 400 pounds. and in Brazil or
Peru you might buy a bale OF only
200 or $50 pounds.
Before cotton is made into bales,
the seeds are taken out. Each boil
has quite number Of seeds-from
81 to As, depending on the kind OF
cotton.
There was time when the cotton
seeds were thrown away, except

crop. That time is now we'll in the
past. For more than 100 years, cot
ton seeds have had a place in trade.
One of my grandfathers was a
"cottonseed oil merchant" In New
Orleans
Pure cottonSeed oil has a pale
yellow color. After being pressed
from the seeds, it is used in many
ways. 1t goes into a great deal
OF soap, also into the vegetable but
ter known as margarine"
Oil from the seeds is used in
cooking. and to a certain extent in
the making of lard. Some candles
and some paint contain oil of this
kind
An idea of the importance OF
cottonseed oil may be gained from
looking over figures of production
in the United States. In recent
years the output has been running
from 100000 to 10000 tons. Tho
cash value of the oil is about one
sixth as much as for the cotton lint
which goes into cloth.
The hard parts left after the
seeds are pressed for oil can be
made into meal which is valuable for
feeding livestock.
