Heretofore the buying of cotton- seed u- has been upon a thoroughly unbusiness ice like basis. Buyers scattered over the he State gathered the seeds from the 1 farmers, irrespective of condition or he quality, buying on commission and led deductions being made by the mills for bad seed upon the arrival of a car load lot at the plant. The policy has been a thoroughly cut-throat policy. In the State of South Carolina an at average of about 360,000 tons of seed is rs- crushed annually, yielding about 160, an 000 tons of cotton seed meal. All but he about 40,000 tons of it, according to of official figures, is used for fertilizers, by the 40.000 tons being used for feed pur o~f poses. No seed is bought outside the State and the production of seed in the at State is not sufficient to enable all the ur- mills to run to capacity. ch GENESIS OF MOVEMeNT. At the recent meeting of the South on Carolina Cotton Seed Crushers' As'so mat ciation at Lake Toxaway, N. C., a ihe special committee, consisting of B. F. in Taylor of Columbia, J. J. Lawton of eir Hartsville, John T. Steven of Kershaw, 2g, John A. Hudtrens of Pelzer and H. C. r, Brown of Augusta was appointed, fol iasq lowing an address by Commissioner ilt-~ Watson, in which the importance of .nd utilizing this conccntrate feed properly ds. was stressed to look carefully into the .ny matter of better marketing of cotton ier seed and to adopt if possible a practi rk cal scheme for grading cotton seed, ana a scale of deductions for "of ns, seed. )r- This committee a few days ago re all- quested a conference with Commission i o er Watson, J. N. Harper of Clemson r.- college and E WV. Dabbs of the South of Carolina State Farmers' Union. The ter con ference was called for 5 o'clock yes es- terday afternoon in the offices of the department of agriculture at the State house. All were pre-sent with the ex ception of President Dabbs, who could not get to Columbia. but who had re -quested Commissioner Watson to rep r- resent the farmers' union at the con-1 stference. By invitation of Commis -sioner Watson, however, J. Whitner re conference, as did also W. B. West, -assistant secretary of the crushers' as ssocaion, and A. C. Summers, State chemist. B. F. Taylor, secretary of the seed ncrnsers' association, thoroughly pre .ties now encountered in sacuring the teed, and showing how it is impossible to secure prime meal or good oil from s good seed mixed indiscriminately with adamaged seed. He pointed out the ith increasing tendency toward the use of meal for feed purposes and stressed the ce importance to the agricultural industry cof the State for meal to be made of such a quality that the maximum of 'benefit to the animal will result. He frankiy went into the details of the n. milling business and showed the nec essity for an intelligent method of pur -d-chasing seed by graae for the mutual inbenefit of the farmer and manufr.c antu rer. Secretary Traylor outlined e briefly a scale for grading which he 1ev said had been agreed upon by the coin d m~ittee as fairer than methods hereto ei- fore employed and one that he consid ore ered would meet with favor on the part tric of all the independent mills. y.. N. Harper of Clemson college ry- pointed out the great value of cotton seed meal as a basis of a real live stock -industry and said that he hoped that the day would come when every pound of goodl meal would be pessed throngh ext an animal before reaching the roil and ers'5 that the bad seed should be returned urt to the soil without being sent to the ber mill. 9PRESENT METHODS DEPRECATED. vill Commissioner Watson-speaking in r-a tripple capacity, as representing the th- department of agriculture, and primar cs ily the agricultural interest, the State Tri- farmers' union and the manufacturing industries of the State-said that as yet ;er- the consumption of meal for feeding ecc- purpses was a mere bagatelle, or only 1.ich 43,80 tons, agaInst 27,900 the preceed mtee ing year. It was true that he was re idquiring meal for feed to be made ofI tisuoud seed so as to not do the animnas o.;t more harm than good, but the demand 3.was greater for meal for fertilizer and all in that regard it made very little differ any erence so far as the meal was concern 1 in ed whether tbe seed was damaged or nt. He had already appealed to the. his crushers to manufa Lure teed meal out een of sound seed, he said. He said he had: ;ion long deprecated the "cutthroat" meth ods employed by tbe mills in the State in buying cotteni seed.

Come to see us, THE F RVISION CRUSHERS d by Department of Agriculture, Fol and Farmers' Representative mssioner. on of where the farmer had got only iP per too for his seed when the price or prime seed was ranging around $28 )er ton. He doubted if there was any nore intelligence displayed in passing )n the quality of seed than in many in tances in the socalled grading of corn, Ld there was indeed a necessity for ,ringing the deduction to a graduated od intelligent basis for damage and iot longer permitting wholesale deduc ions for damage that might not more han barely exist. Commisioner Watson stated that he vas willing to agree to the proposed ystem of grades, provided the commit ee from the crushere was willing to iave the grading done under the direc ion of the State department of agricul ure. by experts in charge of the State Dhemist Summers, and provided the amples to be examined were drawn in fair manner under directions prepar d by the commissioner of agriculture, .he report of the State chemist being inal, to be accepted by the purchasing Dill. Commissioner Watson stated to be commnittee that this would necessi ae the employment by the State chem st, during certain season, of at least e extra man, and that the law did not. ermit him to employ that man; but he was willing for the chemist to select is assistant provided the associatIon rould meet the necessary expense, it eing understood that the association rould have no control over the help o employed. PROPOSITION ACCEPTED. This proposition was promptly agreed o by the committee and acquiesced by rof. Harper and Mr. Reid. There was oe discussion as to the advisability of fering a premium on the maximum rice to be paid for cotton seed when ee was offered showing absolutely the op grade. Finally it was determined .bat the very series of grades the~m elves offered to the farmer a premium or carefully caring for his seed and ,arryng it to the market in as near rime condition as he cou:i. possibly do. ['hen the grading system was adopted inanimously and on the part of the nills the committee undertook to begin mmediately a campaign of education. The representatives of the depart nent of agriculture of Clemson college Lnd of the farmers' nion undertook to oint out to all cotton growers the Talue to them of using every possible ~ndeavor to carefully cars for, examine nd handle their seed in such manner is to get it to the market in the best ossible shape, and to urge them when artcularly badly damaged seed to put ht seed in the ground for fertilizer ad not to offer it for sale, the mills anving declared through their commit *ee that they did not wish to buy this atter class of seed at any price. GRADE STANDARDS The following is the system of grad ng adopted: "Prime cotton seed shall be clean, fry and sound, free from dirt, trash nd foreign matter. Seed not coming ip to requirements of prime seed shalli e considered off seed. All seed shall e graded before unloading as follows: rake 10 representative samples of one ound each from diefferent parts of ,he car or wagon. Thoroughly mix ae into one composite sample, then rith a square edge cut off about 100 :eed from the whole so separated pick ap 100 seea in the order they are found, he 100 seed taken by the above method o constitute the representative sample.i Deductions to be made as foilows: No deduction for seed damaged un-1 er 9 per cent. Seed damaged 10 par cent,. and not wer 15 per cent.. deduct 7 1-2 per cent. rom the cost price of same. Seed darraged? 16 per cent. and not >er 20 per cent., deduct 15 per cent. rrom the cost price of same. Seed damaged 21 per cent. and not ver 25 per cent., deduct 20 per cent. rrom the sost price of same. Seed damaged 26 per cent. and not ver 30 per cent., deduct 25 per cent. rrom the cost price of same. If seed go above 30 per cent damage wners had better sell by samnple. The drawing of the sample is to be lone in the presence of wstnesses on ehalf of both the mill and the seller. 'he sample is to be sealed and certifled md sent to the department of agricul ure. When the chemist gets the seed be collects from the sample 100 indi-. idual seed. They are cut with a sharp uife. Those seed that are from light brown to chocolate color or which are ;oft and mushy or which have become lust by reason of dry rot or which are* :o shriveled as practically to furnish io meat, are to be counted as off or lamaged seed. The reasons for damage to cotton seed are: 1. The packing down of seed cotton, ~o as to have it heat before it goes to:1 2. The storage of the seed in such a maoner as to allow thbem to heat after ginnin. 3 Allowing seed to become wet, either in the~ house or in hauling them ,o the market.I 4.
