McCORMICK CHEVROLET CO. Main Street McCormick, S. C. COLUMBI/g March 20 —Gratifi cation that the Federal Trade Com mission after a thorough investiga tion of the cotton seed industry had reported to Congress that it had found no evidence of price manipul ation or violation of the Anti-trust laws or of the Federal Trade Com mission Act on the part of the ciush crs and refiners was expreseed to day by Christ'c Benet, General Coun sel of the Interstate Cottonseed Crushers' Association. “The report is gratifying not alone because the commission exon erated the industiy from wrong practices,” said Mr. Benet, “but be cause in the thorough investigation which it made, the Commission re cognized ma*iy of the problems which the Interstate Cotton Seed Crushers’ Association has been working on and is still working on, and the solution of which will mean much to the industry and to the far mers of the South.” Mr. Benet referred particularly to the recommendation of the Commis- s on that “standards should be es tablished for cotton seed as have been established for cotton and other products so that those dealing in seed may arrive at a fair value which will necessarily be reflected in the price paid the producer.” “The Intel state Association has long' recogmzed the necessity of i standards for grading seed,” said Mr. Benet, “and at its annual meeting in 1924 appointed a committee to take up with the United States Depart ment of Agriculture the matter of establishing proper grades. This is not a simple task; for, as the report 1 of the Commiss : on points out, the j piincipal value of the seed lies in the oil. The oil is in the kernel or meat of the seed, and the seed in tur n is in the hull and the hull has linters attached to it. You cannot grade seed like apples or oranges by running them through a mach ne^ but the only method of grading which has been developed so far which is reliable is based on a chem ical analysis of the kernel or meat. The icsult of this analysis with an allowance for the value of the other j products, and deductions for dirt, trash and moisture gives the bas : s for grading. “The Association and the Depart ment have been working in hearty co-operation for over thi^ee years now on this very important project and we feel that substaintial pro gress has been made towards our goal,” Mr. Benet asserted. “As the Commission noted in its report, the Assoc ation and the De partment working in co-operation succeeded in estabishing linter grad es in 1927 and these are being fol lowed this year. This was an im portant step forward.” your car Any motor car that is driven all winter needs a thorough “going over” in the spring.
