Widespread interest attaches among farmers, cotton seed crushers and/all others interested in the cotton seed industry, in a meeting which they havo been invited to attend in Atlan ta on Friday, May 24th. This meeting has been called by Secretary D. F. McClatchey, of the State Food Administration, in order that those interested might meet Dr. George H. Donny and Hugh Hum phries of the cotton seed division of the United States Food Administra tion, who will bo here to go over the situation with them. At this meeting full and free discus sion of the cotton seed industry will be solicited, with a view of fixing rul nnd regulations for the coming sea son. Those invited and urged to at tend include farmers, officials of the farm organizations, ginners, cotton seed buyers, crushers, the Commis sioners of Agriculture of. Georgia and , Florida, and other state officials in terested in agricultural markets. With reference''tt> the cotton seed situation, the Georgia State Bureau j of Markets has always taken the posi- - tlon that if a prico is to W fixed for ' cotton seed, it shquld be fixed upon the same parity with hog lard which existed prior to the war. The differ- cnce between the prico of refined oil and hog lard before the war was 2,;fj cents a pound; the difference today u li 6 cents. The contentioni of the Bu- j . renu is, therefore, that the adminis- tration should cither bring down the^ ( price of hog lard to the 2 cent differ ence, ur put the price of cotton seed to tho point where ho same pre-war par ity will be maintained. ,
