New Division For Department of Agriculture.?Investigations Wiil Be Made By the State laboratory.?Announce New Standards. Columbia.?After consultation with a snecial committee of the South Car olina Cotton Seed Crushers' association, Commissioner Watson announced that a division of cotton seed grading had been established by the state department of agriculture. "The department is convinced of the imperative need for a proper system of grading cotton seed sent to the markets for the purpose of manufacture into oil, meal and hulls," said the commissioner. The operation of the division is to be governed until further notice to buyers and sellers under the rules and regulations prescribed below as to grades adopted, deductions for damages, drawing of samples and examination nf samDles. Grade standards that have been adopted have been agreed upon by the department -and the committee from the association, and the association upon its part has agreed to abide absolutely the reports as to grades following the examination ol samples in the laboratories of the department of agriculture, commerce and industries. The amount of deduction showing on the report will be upon the basis of the maximum price quoted for prime seed on the day that the report is mailed to the parties concerned in the examination. The following are the standards adopted: Prime cotton seed shall be clean, dry, sound, free from dirt, trash and foreign matter. Seed not coming up to the requirements of "prime seed" shall be considered "off seed." Work on Highways In Clarendon.
