COTTON OIL MILLS
COMBINE ON PRICES?
Seed Prices and Products
Are All Out of
Proportion.
It is very interesting to see the
activity of the United States gov
ernment inquiring into the where
fores of rise in food prices. It is
still more interesting to know
that the government has had its
inspectors in Macon to make in
quiry as to whether or not there
is any combination here abouts
between the cotton oil mills to
raise the price of cotton seed pro
ducts and depress the price of
cotton seed.
It is hoped that the new dis
trict attorney may distinguish
himself and render a great ser
vice to his people by ferreting
out this matter in Georgia. It is
claimed that food products are
advancing naturally because of
the war. But when the farmer
offers his cotton seed for sale,
these being food for man and
beast, the farmer is told his cot
ton seed are worth less than half
of what they brought last year.
It is stated authoritatively that
one ton of cotton seed will pro
duce.
400 pounds oil at 6c $24.00
700 pounds meal at 1 l-4c 8.75
100 pounds linters at 3c 3.00
750 pounds hulls at l-4c 1.87
50 pounds waste
$37.62
And yet the farmer must take
sl2 for his seed, out of which the
mills get products worth $37.62,
based on, present prices. Last
year they sold for $25 to S3O ffer
ton. It is possible that the far
mer will meekly submit to this
sacrifice of his property? How
long will the Southern people
stand for this outrage upon their
agriculturists?
If other foods are worth more,
why not the farmer’s cotton
seed? —W. T. Anderson in Macon

The Price of Shoes
To be Increased.
j New York, Sept. 11. — “The
' cost of shoes to the manufactur
| er, to the wholesaler and to the
j retailer must be increased and
' the scarcity of the leather ultb
! mately will make itself felt to
the consumer.” This is accord
ing to a statement issued here
last night by a committee repre
senting the delegates to a confer
ence of members of the National
Boot and Shoe Manufacturers
Association, the National Shoe
Wholesalers Association and the
National Shoe Retailers Associa
tion. The conference was called
to discuss the effect of the Euro
pean war upon the shoe and
leather trade in the United States.
The committee’s statement says
; the normal importations of hides
and skins has been seriously cur
tailed as a result of the European
i conflict.
