Those ot our roadors who were pres ent at the annual Convention of cotton seed crushers at New Oilcans in May, as well as those who followed the re pints of that mooting, will recall the prediction made in a paper read by one of the Reporter'sslaft on that occasion as to the future of the industry. While, many of Iiis hearers at thai lime thought the speaker was indulging ill idle prophecy, they have since, as a result of the recent CoinbiuatlOU8, changed tin ir views, and have been outspoken in their recognition of the foresight which led to these prophetic utterances. The paper, will) the others read at the convention, was published in full in the Reporter of Mav 27. this year, ami, while il is Dot out intcution to indulge in any self-laudation, wo fuel justified in tailing lllleulion to the fact that the views cxprosscd by our representative are lidding earlier con lirniation m the course of events in the COllOU seed industry than even he had anticipated. Following closely upon the convention came the news that one t.f the large refineries located at Au tjusia, Ga., had been purchased by u largo fertilizing company, which had only recently entered tho cotton seed Hold as a crusher. This was followed speedily by the taking ovor of live mills located in the Atlantic cotton belt, and, not satisfied with the mills thus acquired, the company throw out its hues in a broad or Hold, and look in the nine plants constituting the South ern Cotton ( >il company, including both crude mills and reliticrios. The same people are now reported as hav ing opt ions upon several more plants located in the cotton bolt. In Booking the motive which prompt ed a foriilizcr manufacturer to enter ihis Held it must he retnetuborod that cotton socd meal is a source of am IllOliia, and as such is a COIlipclitoi of the slaughter house aminoniatos. The supply of the latter is largely controlled by the. "Big Pour" Western packers, and the fact that they have decided to enter the fertilizing Held by tin: erec tion of plants at the South lor the utilization of the blood and tankage from their Western works doubtless had much to do with leading the Vir ginia and Carolina company into the COllOU seed business. Had the latter company remained dependent upon the smaller packers for its supply of bio >d and tankage, or been competitors with other makers of fertilizers for the cotton seed aininoiiiates, they would have been handicapped as against the '?Big Four" plants, which controlled their own sources of supply. It is fair to assume, therefore, that this con sideration more than a desire to take up the manufacture of cotton seed pro ducts for the direct prellt which ihcy afford, influenced the Virginia and Carolina company in its move into this Held. lim Iho tendency toward combinn lion docs not end with Iho operations of this company. In the valley it is reported that enterprising promoters are securing options on various plants for the purpose of continuing their out put. Whether this will he accom plished this season remains to he seen, hut from Texas also comes the infor mation that I'.arkis is willing," and it would not bo surprising if the con solidations already clTcctcd in that Stale should broaden out, since the I petroleum developments have been at tended with somewhat of a modifica tion of the views of the average 'IVxnti las to trusts and combinations, li ! must not he assumed that with the consolidation of oxisiling mills tire erection Of new ones will cease. It costs but a few thousand dollars to build a crude mill, and there arc al ways persons ready to rush into fields concerning which they know hut little. The list of projected nulls published in the hist issue of the Reporter would ho appalling if it wore not sate to pre dict that not one-ball of thorn will ever bo buill< As consolidation progresses upon the lui?', which it now seems to be following n will become every year more diilicull for new mills to operate ?ucoossfully, because tlie sources of supply of seed, as weil a* the channels through which I ho products an: dis tributed, will bo bettor controlled by the existing plants. Thero is. naturally, a groat deal of speculation as to what the olTecl of the later consolidations wi 1 be upon the lending companies left In the cotton -red and foitlli/illg industries. While, there are no purfaco indications other than ih?>se furnished by the operations uf the Virginia and Carolina company that these two Industries will assume closor relations, yet the sales of tho stock of the leading company, as shown by the transaction on the Stock Kx? change ol late, may indicate a move ment of broader proportions than have I yet been foreshadowed outside of the predictions at New Orleans to which we have referred. It certainly 1)0? I hooves those who have investments in I the cotton seed industry to lie alert to ill that is going on about them, what ever their personal views may lie as to the principles involved in consolida tion. The combining of a number of competing concerns in the sane. line, is a't so far-rcachim: in its effect as the unifying of collateral interests which are not Competing, but which serve to I control the distribution of products all lie way from the v. ry sources of pro duction to the ultimate c? Usumptlon. And this is what is fore-badowed by the movement already well under way in the cotton seed industry.
