VV&.YfPE.’RS’ COIa wn Reforms in Handli I?!| “ If the South desires to enter upon the C ' TIP /YfM l "U' : &reached with the Ta-* expen ic f)l ■apital, it will (|| wofi Uj couSder '■ e * /"-?■' -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.— “ D,” in jheiv Orleans Democrat.
