CRUSHERS HIT BY EXPORT LAW Bad Handling of Cotton Seed Prod ucts Causes Heavy Losses, PROTEST IS REGISTERED Special Convention in New Orleans Will Attempt to Remedy Matters-Ben ton Makes His Report. Facts from both sides in the con troversy as to why southern cotton seed products exporters lose thou sands of dollars monthly from negli gent handling of their goods in steam ships were presented at Monday’s ex traordinary session of the Interstate Cotton Seed Crushers’ Association in New Orleans. Action was taken to combat for eign tariffs, which are claimed to have cut down southern business in these products by $2,000,000 annual ly. The convention nominated Albert G. Perkins of Memphis, Tenn., for United States expert abroad on the subject of cotton seed products. This nomination is to be an appointment which will be made by Secretary Strauss of the department of com merce and labor. Professor J H. Connell of Dallas, Texas, was the only other candidate for nomination. Mr. Perkins succeeds J. L. Benton of Monticello, Ga., resigned. Mr. Benton reported to the conven tion his observations upon the causes of the losses of southern shippers. Mr. Benton told of the enormous waste in cotton seed products, due to careless handling by steamship lines, and of the loss to American shipers thereby, estimated as high as $1,000,000 in a single year. As an example of how this waste occurred he said: “We find in New Orleans today waiting for export 5,000 tons of meal from five different firms. This meal Includes five different brands. Of the total amount 4,000 tons of it is choice meal. The remaining 1,000 tons is dark, badly ground and with an excess of lint and hulls. All this meal is loaded into a vessel at New Orleans without regard to the classification shown on the marks in dicating the brands. Asa result it is pretty well scattered over the ship. Since this cargo does not fill the boat’s capacity, a few thousand bar rels of cotton seed oil are rolled in on top of the meal. A few of the barrels break, a few of the sacks are torn, and both cargoes, oil and meal, are more or less damaged. “Upon unloading, the meals sadcs are hoisted by a single rope from the hold of the vessel and are dra Sged along the floor until they reach the warehouse, by which time several more bags are broken. Having been loaded without regard to brands, the meal is unloaded in the same man ner. So many bags, moreover, have been ruined that it is useless to at tempt to collect the cargo according to its clasaiiication. Instead, the 'meal is piled indiscriminately in heaps of a ton each of mixed meal for weighing and sampling. The loose meal from the broken bags is appor tioned to those piles which may be short in weight. At this stage, a car go which left the United States con sisting of 4,000 tons of choice meal and 1,000 tons of off meal, is now reduced to all one grade, and that the worst. There is just enough lint and hulls in it to cause reclamation.. “The importer therefore does not get the grade he has bought. If we couid guarantee him the grade we could get more for southern cotton seed calce than is paid for any other cake in the world.” Mr. Benton said it will be a diffi cult task to extend southern cotton seed products trade abroad until the delivery is improved.

Terrible Itching Prevented Sleep- Hands, Arms, and Legs Affected —Cured in 6 Days by Cuticura. “I had eczema nearly fifteen years. The affeqted parts were my hands, arm* and legs. They were the worst in the winter time and were always itchy, and T could not keep from scratching them. I had to keep both hands bandaged all tl*,e time, and at night I would have to scratch through the bandages as the itching was so severe, and at times I would have to tear everything off my hands to scratch the skin. I could not rest or sleep. I had several physicians treat me, but they could not give me a permanent cure, nor even could they stop the itching. After using the Cuticura Soap, one box Cuticurn Oint ment and two bottles Cuticura Resolvent for about six days the itching had ceased, and now the sores have disappeared, and I never felt better in my life than I do now.
