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
