COTTON SEED PRODUCTS. Food. Clothing. Munitions, and l.ong List of Things Made From Cotton Seed. < Is cotton king? Possibly you have at times thought some other strong ' agent might usurp the throne of this long-crowned monarch of the Agri cultural .America. But an int' resting incident brings to light that cotton is i not only king, but parliament, cabinet ' and most all of the entire nobility. The association of cotton seed 1 crushers of North Carolina has plan ned an exhibit at the State Fair at Raleigh this fall, and the plan is to show the various things made from 1 cotton seed. You may think that is a simple thing, but it is not. The fact ! is that the products of cotton seed are 1 so many and important that the State Fair has signified that the cotton seed products exhibit will be one of the most novel ever shown. The plan is to take the cotton as it comes to the gin at the oil mill and 1 show the cotton in the seed, then cleaned as it comes through the clean- : er, then dismissing the lint, to show : the products of the seed. First will come th 2 linters, and the list of things made from linters includes ' many articles. It is expected that the Duponts, the big powder folks, who have mills at many points in the coun try, will make up at Hopewell a col- : lection of the things they make from linters and send it to the exhibit to 1 show what they get from the linters alone. First of al in interest just now may be the high explosives that are going to win the war with Ger many. The North Carolina farmer is doing hii part to win the war when he makes the c<5tton to make the ' powder. He is making also the cellu loid articles that are used in a thou sand things in war, the combs, brush es, surgical instrument handles, etc. He is making the material for the new style of shoes, the soles that are taking the place of leather, and for the shoe tops. Instead of the cow pro viding the shoe material the farmer is furnishing it in his cotton product. Rubber substitutes are made from the cotton seed. From the oil comes an equally long list, but most commonly used are the lard and butter substitutes made from the oil. The food value of cotton seed oil, merl and hulls in last year's crop from the oil mills totaled about $350, 000,000. We are used to figuring cot ton as a clothing crop. The fact is that it is one of the foremost of food crops, for it enters into almost every line of food production. The billion and quarter pounds of oil made dur ing the season that has closed was only one of the food products. The oil went into compound lard and other things, but the meal made at the same time served as cattle food, from which came much beef, leather and other packing house. The oil men's association are ar ranging to have their exhibit carry as many as possibe of all the innumer able things made from cotton oil, cot ton seed linters, cottcn sed meal, cot ton seed hulls, and when the collection is made up it will be a revelation to the farmer who raised the cotton to see what variety of things old King Cotton is responsible for. It will be just as interesting to the people of the State to notice what variety of food products, clothing products and other things that they use come from the cotton seed. It has reached the place where cot ton seed is doing a big part in feed ing the world, and in feeding the ani mals that help to feed the world, that cotton seed is doing a big part to clothe the world, to move the business of the world, and many other things that had not been thought of. The cotton farmer and the oil mill ' are answering Secretary Houston's call to help win the war. A committee ' from the oil mill association is now gathering the material for the exhib- ' it, which will be as complete as it can be made. The fair management has ' offered whatever space shall be nec essary to give the exhibit a proper location, c.nd it will be one of the novel features of what North Caroli na is doing to stand by the govern ment, and what this big new industry signifies in the world's work. ?
