_MONDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1923 BILLIONS HO* COfflE EM COTTON SEED One-Time Nuisance Has Become Veritable Gold Mine As Shown in Man-' Products ATLANTA, Nov. s.—At present the value of products obtained from cottonseed in this country is in ex cess of $150,000,000 annually, ac cording to officials of the Georgia department of agriculture. The one-time nuisance has become a veritable gold mine of enorous im portance in the prosperity of the cotton states and of wide diversity in its uses. The manufactured articles that trace their source back to cotton seed include many of the necessities and comforts of modern life. Mat / tresses are stuffed with cottonseed I linters. Eggs are fried in hydro- genated cotton seed oil or other sub stitutes derived from the seed. Dishes and soiled napkins are cleaned with soap probably contain ing cottonseed oil as an ingredient, *nd the sink and kitchen floor are brightened and rubbed up with washing compound, a cotton seed derivative. The noonday luncheon may include canned tuna-fish or sardines which hav ebeen packed in cottonseed oil. The lady of the house used a cel luloid comb made of a combination of nitrated cotton linters and camphor. She may garb herself completely in garments of artificial silk made from nitrated cotton lint ers. If it is housepainting time she may twite a note the painter on paper made from cottonseed linters. The chances are the roof will be painted with at residue derived, aft er many intermediate steps, from cottonseed. Automobiles are cushioned with artifical leather made by coating cotton fabric with a mixture of castor oil and nitrated cotton lint ers. A detour in the road may mean that the highway is being repaired through the aid of dynamite, made through nitrated glycerin which in turn is a bv-produt obtained when soap is made from such vegetable oils as ottonseed oil. The roast beef or the juicy steak of the evening meal may come from an animal fattened on cotton seed hulls and meal. The French fried potatoes may have been friend in cotton seed coking oil and the salad may be garnished with a dressing made from cotton seed salad oil. In fact, thanks to chemistry, the entire day may be linked with ac tivities in which cotton or cotton seed derivatives play a part. “The magnitude of the loss suf fered by the South in the failure to discover earlier the nossibilities of cottonseed can hardly be com puted.” s; id an official of the state agricultural department. “It can I understood in a degree when it is con' idored that t seeds represents two-thirds of the cotton cron and 'he cotton ifself only" one third. Huge piles of cotton seeds that Ifr, rotted 6n the ground or found their K winy into the rivers and creeks to clog them formed a problem that worried farmers and ginners in the South 60 years ago.” 5,000 GIRLS MISSING LOS ANGELES, Nov. s.—Five thousand women and girls of all ages were reported missing in Los Angeles during the past year, ac cording to Mrs. Georgia Robinson of “he police juvenile bureau. Dis satisfaction with conditions at home was responsible for most of the dis appearances, she said. LEGAL AD No. 100.
