all of the h\-products of the crop.
The achievements in this direction
have been mi noteworthy iu the past
that one is led to place implicit con-
fidence in the promises for the fn
ture. U) the single discovery of llie
value of the cotton seed for manu-
facturing oil and cotton seed meal,
1 iie ten to fifteen million dollars
were added to Ihe receipts of the an-
nual cotton crop. Now that an cnorm
oils industry has heeu limit up and
permanently established for convert-
ing the cotlon seed into oil, I lie qui s
tion of uii.iziug other purls of ihi
cotton plant for commercial purposes
has come rapidly to the front.
Orig 'ialiy the iint was considered
the only valuable part of the cotton
crop, aud the seeds, the stalks, the
roots, and hulls were either liurucd
on the laud or turned under the st.il
liy the plow to increase the fertility
of the laud. It was supposed that
the cotton drew so much fertility
from ihe soil that it would soon roll
it of all power for plant production
and iu time make it worthless. Scien-
tific investigations and analysis of
the soil have demonstrated, however,
that, of ail the staple crops, cotton
imposes the slightest drain upon t>>e
land. By applying special fertilizers,
all of the crop can lie removi d for years
without materially injuring the soil
Thus cotton has been raised on the
U'illiU
lur\, and the land io-da\ is almost
as fe.nile as when the virgin soil was
first broken with the old wooden
plow.
This demonstration has led to i 111-
[ port ant results. After the cot ton
i seed, the cottonseed hulls were
selected for stieniilie Investigation.
I he hulls of a cotton crop eonMilute
about half the weight of the ginned
I seed. These hulls arc hard, dry,

iracted attention some years ago, but
ii was only recently that a process
was patented for this purpose. The
stems ate very r^ugh and coarse, and
scientists found some ditlieulfy in
making machinery that would work
up (lie material satisfactorily. The
liber was found to lie good w'
once stripped uud sol'led out. Sain-
|iles of the bagging made from the
stems have been tested in the South,
and it is pronounced by experts to
be first-class in every way. T'uc

I'lie question of utilizing Ihvur '
stems as liber for cotton bagging at- j <>tl.. r llsh. It has its limits, however.
and the manufacturers have not been
able to make it the place of oils for
mixing paints and wood-tillers. It
dries very slowly and imperfectly,
and this seems to debar it
forever from enleiiug into competi-
tion with linseed and similar oils for
"| the drug and paint trad.' As a lu-
bricant, the lies' refined cotton-seed
oil is very satisfactory, and it is iu
considerable demand in the machine
trade.
Refining processes are constantly
developing new uses for the oil. The
yellow oil resulting fiotu the first
process of refilling, through treat-
ment with alkaline solutions, is iur-
tlicr purified by healing and filtra-
tion. Then the while oil of commerce
is obtained by shaking the yellow oil
with 2 to II per cent of fuller's
earth. In purifying the yellow oil
about 'J"i per cent o' il is aeperated
111 ihe form of steal in. This cotton
seed stearin is employed in making
caudles aud the various preparations
of butter and lard surrogates.
For Home lime this cotton seed oil
was mixed wiih lard intended foy
was corrected by mixing it with beef
fat, Now lliis. is often sold on its
own merits In the market iu open
competition with lard.
Finally, there is a wash powder
made from the soap stock that owes
its origin to cotton-seed oil. 1 his is
obtained from the residue left after
the oil is refined. T he soup ilself,
made from the oil, is used extensive-
ly b\ the woolen mills of this and
other countries, ll has been fotiud
to be of special value iu washing
woolen goods, which it does not
injure uur cause to shrink.
1 lius it is that ihe by products of
\ield of the filter is large, and when
satisfactory machinery is produced a
considerable bagging industry will
be built up near the cotton fie'ds.
Five tons of good stalk will \itld
about l,oOO pounds of first class
liber. At this rate the anuual cottou
crop will produce all the bagging
needed for cotton baling and leave a
good percentage for other purposes.
Of course the industry is largely in
the experimental stages 3et, but if 11
works as well as the cotton-seed oil
industry did, it will not lie man\
years before it will assume gigantic
proportions.

bark of w hich has long been used fur
medicinal purposes. I he action of
this bark is similar to that of ergot.
1'his fact lias led to investigation
here, and it is believed that another
by-product of the cotton crop will
lie soon found in the roots of the
plants. The drug would be useful
iu many ways and might prove of
great value. Chemists have appro-
ved of it, and it is now largely a
question <d extracting it profitably.
In connection with employing the
cot tun-seed hulls as food for animals.
il iiiighl be said that any surplus of j L|a, t.0t,ton crop are multiplying, and
the crop can be utilized in making
artificial fertilizers. Cotton-bull ashes valuable
