Reforms in Handli I?!|

'‘R'he lrfrgfbr portion (tf erop is depre
ciated 10 per cent, for want of skill and care
in primary treatment, which primary pro
cesses constitute the most important branch
of cotton manufacture.”
'Hie,above quotations are from Mr. Edward
Atk inson's letter, and truer facts were never
pultTishcd. The enterprising individual, or
company, that will put up the requisite ma
chinery to handle cotton in the seed, will
strike the key-note to rapid fortune, revolu
tionize the entire system of handling cotton,
and make the planter independent of cotton
seed monopolies.
The Central Ginner}’, at Gretna, is a start
In the right direction, but they stop short of
the point which is to be and'must be attained.
\\ by not go a few steps further and, instead
of baling the lint, manufacture it into yarn,
docortfeafec fcnd kiln-dry the seed, and you
put each article in the exact shape in which
it will be most acceptable tcyThe
English spinner, as well a4H-He v Nti?therrf,
would prefec tp,get pi thoghape
of yarn, tluife iavlhgt tile-*e Wot ®o4s
of freight, insurance and loss, which is now
ineviCablfcA’iD A
“In thelpicker room of the cottoq. factory
the bale of cotton is subkete^ — ff
1. Toihe action oCan opener!, to lighten
it up and overcame tire effect of cotHpression.
“2. It i| passed through the breaker-lap
per or picl&r, to ( remove seed, sand and heavy
dirt.
“ 3- It is passed through the finfsher-lap
per, to complete the work.nf cleaning.”
Now all of this expensive delay and waste
ful loss coild be saved and avoided by a
simple dusting process as it comes from the
gin. In decorticating and kiln-drying the
seed yon put it in the shape England desires
it, anil in yrliich she lias been for years yearn
ing to get |t. In bringing seed- cotton here
for raanipijation as
tremendous advantage of handling H~ in one
freight, without the expense of or use in any
way of bacfciAg and ties or cotton seed sacks,
for it can sll be handled In bulk by barges.
This is if° untried experiment; it is the
actual raoie of transportation -used by the
Central Giy&oxy,, -U& way of illustration,
seffd cotton can be brought here by “barge at
a cost of $1 a ton or less. That lon will turn
out when ginned about 700 pounds, or a bale
apd a halt of tint, and 1800 pounds of seed,
the freight on whiok at present steamboat
rates would be $4.35, or a net gain in favor
the barge of $3.35 at the very start in its
Gret wanipulationcb ’ > f *
After ginning the is lintod, furnishing
an average of twenty-five poundb of lint to
every ton of seed, worth six cents per pound,
or sl-50 per ton.
With decorticated seed you offsr to the
English crusher the same freight advantage
—oil and cake in one. They claim, and very
justly, that they can express the oil much
cheaper and to better advantage for their
trade than we can. They are satisfied with
a small margin for profit, while the mills in
this country are not satisfied with anything
short of 40 to 60 per cent, profit, and which
they have hitherto been making. And why ?
Because it is ground out of the planter, who
receives so little for his seed that he is indif
ferent about selling it at all, it not paying for
his trouble in sacking and hauling it if he is
a few miles distant from the landing ; where
as the relative value of the seed to the lint
should be about one half, and he could ob
tain that by soiling his cotton in the seed as
it comes from the field.
The average yield of seed is ten sacks to
every bale of cotton, and estimating the last
erop. in round figures, at 6,000,000 bales,
there was a production of 60;000,000 sacks
of seed. Now, what becomes of it ?
Allow one sack for planting (a very libe
ral estimate, as a sack contains four bushels,
while one bughel.will readily plant an acre).,
allow for: two sacks Teaching the oil' mill
(another big allowance, for by reference to
cotton and cotton seed receipts at the port of
New Orleans it will be seen that there is a
little over a saekof.seed received to every
bale, of cotton), that makes three sacks ac
counted for. Now, what becomes of the oth
er seven ? I know some of it is used in ma
nuring, but how much ? More in the State
of Georgia than in any other State. Not onc
fourth.of it is utilized as manure. Where one
planter uses it iu that way ten do not, and if
they all used it in that way, and returned to
tho soil all it could safoly stand, there would
still be 1,000,000 tons left, for which there is
no use in the country.
X was pleased to learn, on my last visit to
the city, that these very ideas have already
attracted attention, and are now under con
sideration,by prominent parties there. Let
me say to them to hurry up if they mean bu
siness and want to take the initiative, for, to
ray knowledge, the subject is under consid
eration at .more than one Atlantic port.—
