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.”

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.
