COTTON SEED OIL GOING TO EUROPE. The British steamship South gate is loading on the Central Railway terminals with 10,000 barrels of cotton seed oil to be used in Europe. The oil is being shipped by the Southern Cotton Oil Company, and is their well known Wesson Oil product. The shipment is destined for Rotterdam and is to be used in the manufacture of oleomargar ine. The shipment and its pur pose is a commentary on the dif ferent attitudes of Europe and America towards oleomargarine and incidently, say some of those interested, on the prevailing high prices of butter in the United States. £ In this country a very high tax is placed on each pound of oleo margarine so that its production is thereby greatly limited, though the trade expects to see this tax very much reduced shortly, a step expected to be assisted by by the butter prices. Many barrels of cotton seed oil are shipped annually from Sa vannah to Europe, much of which is utilized in the manufacture of oleomargarine, used as a very ac ceptable substitute for pure but ter with which it is practically identical in its chemical makeup. It is expected that 1,000,000 barrels of cotton seed oil will be exported from the United States this year on account of the large cotton crop and demand for the oil in Europe, fostered by the lower prices following big pro duction. The chief ports through which this will be exported are Savannah, Galveston, New Or leans and New York. The oleomargarine is manufac tured by combining the cotton seed oil with various fats and churning these with additions of milk to give the butter flavor, and salting. Oleomargarine thus produced can not be detected by many as not being butter, and possesses as said practically the same chemical makeup. Those who defend the use of oleomargarine as a substitute for butter make the point that Dan ish butter, admittedly the finest in Europe, is largely the product of cotton seed, as tremendous quantities of cotton seed “oil cake” are shipped to Denmark to feed the cows that produce this butter. —Savannah News. DP.DWSY FARMER TIES UP A HALF DOZEN TRAINS. pan bury, Conn., Jan. 28. IMrowsing in his wagon as he .Started home from this city last night, Albert Hunt, a Rigefield farmer, mistook the right of way of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad for the main highway to Ridgefield. Before he awoke to his mistake he had held dozen trains on the way to and from South Norwalk and New York, includ ing the Pittsfield Express, and completely disarranged the di vision schedule. The sleepy far mer bumped over switches and culverts for nearly a mile until his horses became entangled be tween the ties of a trestle span ning the Still river. The services ! of a locomotive and wrecking crew were required to lift the 1 wagon. COON HUNTING IN QUITMAN. Quitman, Ga., Jan. 27, —Old , inhabitants tell of the time when they shot deer and wild turkeis in thier back yards in Quitman, j but that was fifty years ago. and the electric lights and paved streets have scrouged the wild creatures out of these haunts long since. Therefore, the appearance of of one lone and very scared little coon in an oak tree on one of the main streets this morning created quite a sensation, and citizens on their way to their offices stopped to look until a negro arrived and caught the coon. The coon had probably been the chief actor in a coon hunt the previous night, and had been chased out of bounds, and was too bewildered by his strange surroundings to make any efforts to escape. I EIGHT CONVENTIONS TO DUBLIN DURING YEAR. Dublin, Jan. 25. —Dublin fs truly a convention qity. Eight associations will hold their 1912 sessions in this city. No other 1 city in Georgia the size of Dublin I can publish such a list of meet ings for one year. Dublin, as never before, is in demand as a convention point, and it is an as sured fact that the people of the city will so entertain the several hundred delegates, who will be brought to the meetings, that | they will desire to return in the course of a very few years. The city is very fortunate in securing so many conventions for 1912, and the credit for this work, in a great measure, is due the Dublin Chamber of Commerce and the different citizens of the city who are connected with these organizations. It is estimated that the eight conventions will bring 2,000 visitors, who will on leaving advertise Dublin in every section of Georgia. The first convention will be that of the A1 Sihah Temple of the Mystic Shrine, which will hoklits semi-annual meeting here in March. The exact date of this and several other conventions has not been yet settled upon. Two organizations will be in ses sion from April 23 to 26, inclus ive. These are the State Sunday School Association, which will bring Sunday school superinten dents and workers from every part of the state to Dublin, and the Macon Presbytery, which is composed of the Presbyterian ministers in this section of Geor gia. The Order of the Eastern Star and group No. 5, Georgia Bank ers’ Association, will hold con ventions in the city in May. The Georgia Weekly Press Associa tion—the biggest one in the bunch—will meet here in July. The State Agricultural Society convenes here August 20-21, and the Hotel Keeper’s Association of Georgia will follow in December. LET US EAT GEORGIA RAISED FLOUR There is no earthly reason why the people of this section of Geor gia should not eat bread made from wheat raised in their own fields. As Mr. Hornady pointed out in his interview published in the Times-Recorder the other day, this section has been known to be highly suitable for wheat cul ture for a half century or more. Prior to the war and during the war there was considerable wheat raised hereabouts... As Mr. Hornady stated, experienced farmers in those days could turn out thirty to forty bushels of wheat, of the finest quality, to the acre. What has been done can be done, and* in fact is now being done. All that is needed to make it wider spread is to continue ag itation, to keep before the farm ers of Sumter and adjacent coun ties the fact that good wheat can be raised profitably here. The slogan of this section from now on should be “Home made flour,” that is, flour from wheat raised at home and milled at home. j Georgia raised wheat is richer j and sweeter than the wheat of | the west. It makes up magnifii ' cent flour, flour that is appetiz j ing and nutritious, j When we can raise such wheat right here in Sumter and its neighboring counties how foolish it is for us to send our money to Minneapolis and other western milling centers and pay fancy prices for their output. Once we raise our own wheat and other products that home consumption demands the pros perity of the people hereabouts will exceed anything this coun try has ever known. Americus Times-Recorder.
