The advantages which accrue
to the farmer.
Some of the Profit He Realizes by the
Establishment of Cotton Seed Oil Mills.
No manufacturing industry stands
so close to the farmer as the cotton
seed oil mills. The interest of the two
are mutual and Inseparable. A very
large part of the products of the oil
mills is now returned to the farm and
practically all of It in some form can
be utilized.
The mill provides a profitable market
for the surpIXis seed, and returns the 1
product to the farmer, with greatly
.-..-uwu >bius an a. iimaiicu cuiiuiuuu.
While the larger part of the business
between the mill and the farmer la
conducted on a basis of barter and exchange,
It does not actually differ
much In results from the toll system of
the corn mill.
The oil mill purchases the seed In
the open market, and sells Its products
In the same way, but ultimately, all
of the hulls and meal should get back
to the farms from which the seed were
shipped. While this Is now the result
In many cases, it Is not as common er
general as the practice should be. Every
pound of these two products produced
In the South should be returned ,
to the land, either as fertilizer ap- ?
piled direct, or stock feed, the latter
much to be preferred, as their value *
in that way la Immensely Increased.
About 1830 a cotton seed oil mill was
established at Columbia, S. C. The j
historian of the time only considered it
of sufficient Importance to congratu- 1
late the "public-spirited" citizen who' ,
had enterprise enough to establish the '
business, but did make the further
comment that the owner "expressed
from cotton seed a very fair grade of J
edible oil." No further reference id
made to this beginning of the busl- 1
ness, and It can only be inferred that
the improper handling of the product,
or the prejudices of the people against
this "edible oil," prevented It from being
successful. In L860 Aldlgee
found thousands of tons of
seed dumped on the commons, and (
placed under guard to prevent the
cows from eating them, as they were
regarded as poisonous to cattle.
From such conditions has grown a
magnificent industry that has added
millions to the value of Southern
farms, increased the traffic of the rail
roads, established an Immense foreign
I trade with this country, earned fair
returns for Its promoters, while giving
employment to thousands of men at
remunerative wages, many of whcrm
otherwise would be Idle at the season
when their work is required at the
mills.
In all of this development the greatest
benefits have been derived by the
farmers. The mills have taken the seed
which prior to their establishment,
were either lost entirely or wastefully
used, and converted them into valuable
products, easily and economically
handled, resulting in the cheuper production
of crops, and Increased yields
per acre.
Raising and fattening cattle has been
one of the Interesting features of this
development. The fattening of cattle
in the South for market, outsdde, perhaps,
of the Texas ranges, vis unknown
before the extensive use of cotton
seed hulls and meal. At present,
almost every neighborhood is raising
a few head of cattle for the botcher
on this feed, and in many Sections,
numbers of cattle are being fattened
In this way. As this business Increases
.it will be followed by the ecection of
packing houses In the South with all
the advantages of such industries.
Any land-owner can make fattening
oattle profitable. It chemically
demonstrated, sustained by practical
tests that the droppings trosC Rattle
fed on cotton seed meal Is equal In
f??dlnr vnliiA ?
directly to the land. No other feed
has any such comparative value.
When this is considered, the Immense
advantages derived by the farmers
from the establishment of cotton seed
oil mills is realized even If no ether
benefits accrue, but when (he abundance
and cheapness of hulls Is considered,
and their value to the farmer
and feeder recognized, some idea is
given of the splendid work and advantages
the other mills have accomplished
towards the development of
Southern agriculture.
In almost any season, regardless of
the price of seed and products the
mills of the Southern Cotton Oil Mill
Company of the Carollnas and Georgia
will give hack to the farmers all of the
meal and hulls produced from the seed
In exchange for the seed, reserving
only the oil, and small amount of short
lint to cover transportation charges,
cost of working, interest on investment
and profits. No more liberal division
of the profits between manufacturers
and consumer has ever been accomplished.
It makes the business cooperative,
returning to the farmer all
that Is of any value to him, in a greatly
Improved condition, and consequently
greatly Increased in value, and
leaving with the mill only that part
of the seed universally regarded as de
I mmentai In its natural condition,
either as a fsed or fertiliser, from
which the mill mint realize all ot its
expenses, including cost of ironting.
The oil Is converted at the refineries
in Savannah into purs and waioleitome
substitutes for lard, knowd as
"Palmatflna" and "Snowdrfft." tn# is
given back to the consumeiw tabls aa
a delicacy at a low price, or as a P*?re
cooking oil, as Wesson Cooking <011.
The refuse or waste from the* rennea
oil is made into a soap, and sotd bank
at a cost that places it in the r each of
the poorest. The lint is madi*
quilts, pillows and mattresses an t ?o'd
at a price that makes it possibl * tor
the bed-rooms of the humblest coi *aK?
to he comfortably furnished.
In buying or raising cattle to be w* 1
tened on hulls and meal, every ef? .
should be made to secure good be exproducing
breeds. A prominent a kd I
successful packer is authority for tl '
statement that the improved breed. *
will sell on foot for three times as |
much as the common stock. "
The consumptiam of beef in the South
far exceeds any previous period. It
can be met by home production if
Southern farmers will use all the hulls
and meal made by the oil mills, with
UUl urawing on tne West. At present I
only about one-fourth of the cotton
seed meal Is consumed where It Is produced
for feeding and fertilizing crops,
the balance finding a market cither In
Europe or In the Eastern or Western
States.
The cotton oil industry has been developed
when it was most iteeded by
the people of the South, especially by
the Southern Cotton Oil Company,
which has mills throughout the South
and general headquarters at Columbia,
S. C., Ooldsboro, N. C., Ch? irlotte. If.
C., Atlanta, Ga., and Sava nnah and
Augusta, Ga Its only dam fer Is in
being over?done. It shouU I get to
such proportions as to have t lie crushing
capacity run ahead of th< i production
of seed, or the product! on of oil
Increase faster than the com aimptlon,
the results would be disastrou s both to
the mill owners, and to the farmers.
It is a business requiring a hi gh order
of commercial Intelligence for its successful
continuance, and It is t nanlfestly
to the interests of the mam tfacturer
and to the farrier to keep it w ell within
reasonable bounds.
