Cotton Seed-A Suggestion to the Alliance. It is stated that the cotton seed oil mil! combination has become an incor? poration, aud tts capital stock has been increased to ?^2,000.000. A charter was obtained from the Legislature of New Jersey last winter, aud the legal requirements necessary to put the cor? poration into working order have just been complied with. The cotton seed oil combination is therefore a New Jersey corporation, abd the impression is that its purpose ts to carry on a much larger business than ever before. This corporation has mills in nearly all the Southern States, and the pur? pose of the incorporation-as was that of the previous combination-is to con? trol the price of oil, aud also of cotton seed. Whether the milli1 make money or not is a somewhat disputed question ; but being now one company, they can dictate prices for cotton seed, aud also for cotton seed products. The demand for cotton seed products is steadily in? creasing, and it would seem as if the price of cotton seed, under these cir? cumstances, would improve. The cot? ton seed oil corporation, however, will give no more for cotton seed than it bas to, and it will exact all it can for the oil and meal. Now here is something for the Far? mers' Alliances to tackle. Thus far they seem to have paid very little at? tention to this matter. They have been so engrossed with the impractica? ble and unprofitable direction of the [ fight against the jute men, that they have paid no atteution to the greatly more powerful and haruiful enemy that has been and is steadily grasping the products of the farms. The seed from the cotton crop of last year, at the av?rage price of 15 cents per bushel, was worth ?31,500, 000. In the South-west where the large oil mills are located, the seed was bought at V2}, cents per bushel, while in this State it fetched about 18 cents. This fali the prices are some? what h-igher, and will average about 17 cents. In Aikeu County the agents of the mills are offering 20 cents, and wc have seen it 6tated that in Abbe ville County they are payiDg as high as 26 cents. Now it may be accepted as as fact, that jus? as the jute men will get all they can for their bagging, so the oil mill will pay as little as they can for the seed. One of the objects of their com? bination is to keep down the price of seed. It has been repeatedly demon? strated by chemical aufclysis that the seed is worth to the farmer for manure at least 28 cents per bushel, and when? ever he sells for a lower price he throws away his substance ; and therefore at the average price throughout the South of about 17 cents, which the mills are now paying, the farmers are being im? posed imposed upon to the exteut of li cents on every bushel sold. In com? parison with the amount of money lost iu this way, the exactions of the jute men are trifling. Now this is something for the far? mers to tike hold of at once, and with profit to themselves. If they, through their combination, firmly demand 28 cents for their cotton seed, they will get it. We are not discussing the advisability of a farmer's selling his cotton seed, but are dealing with the fact that maDy farmers do sell their seed, and these should get its full j value,-and can get it if they will only J act together firmly.-Aiken Recorder.
