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.”

“There is no industry in the Unit

selfishly for the benefit of all than
has the cotton seed industry. It has
passed along to the farmer his full
share of the profits which have come
from the increased uses which it has
found for seed products. The Fed
