II. L. Scales, general manager
of the Corsicana Cotton Oil com-
pany, in an interview with a Dal-
las News representative said:
*4The cotton crop in Texas thi9
year is about 250,000 bal - larger
than last season, but the oil mills
are only receiving about two-
thirds as many sesd 9s they did
last season. The short corn crop
is the cause of the deficiency, as
farmers are compelled to feed
their cotton seed to their cattle
this season, whereas last year they
had plenty of corn. As far as we
can see, the crush in- Texas this
season will be about 70 per cent
of last season. The prices of cot-
ton seed products are very much
| the same as last season. The
qualities of cotton seed products
this season have Iteen choice up
to the 15th pf November, l?u£
since that time pmdnqtg have not
been prime, owing to the damp
condition of the seed coming
