In this -work Uc. Horty has been aided by worn advanced student In his Iabora- JOrV,' Hitherto only those cotton oil mills - -which had a large volume of business could afford to keep trained chemist o watch the output of the mills for ' loss In oil and under the old methods of analysis from four to eix hours ' "wr needed even by the dhemlst to - determiee the amount of oil left in the ' products. By mean of Dr. Herty's new method any man of average abll- Ity can make the eWermlnatlon, and 4he time needed has been reduced to " - thirty minutes or even less. Now one ' can take a handful of cotton seed, n half an hour can determine, just how much oil that seed contains. THE NEW METHOD.

' Dr.' Herty declines to make his tnciOhod a source of financial giin for tilm-tlf and offers it to the cototn seed ell Industry of the South. On June th, at Atlantic Beach, FU . he pre-, ented this method to the .Cotton Seed Crueher' Asuociatlon of Alabama. In a paper before tho American ( heml-; eal Society at its summer session at i New Haven, Conn., July 1st, he gavo an account of this work. Th Atlanta Constitution and The Jacksonville Times-Union at once gave flattering accounts of his add rem fcefore the Georjcla association, and the trade Journals hra.v published the address and given editorials on Hie rlut to the cotton oil Industry. The National Provisloner of June Uth, The Oil, Paint and Drug Reporter of June 15th ami Tthe Cotton and Cotton Oil News of June :'9th all give the ad dress alone or the address with an Edi torial.

A prolonged discussion of the scheme of warehousing cotton and the fmlimixslo'i of reports of subscrip tion, were heard at the meeting yes terduy of the MecklenburK Farmers' Union, as a result of which It is an nounced that a system of warehous ing In this county this fall Is a cer tainty. More than half tho money necewary to brlnir ihis plan to reali sation has been, subscribed and dell nite uteris looking toward the erection of buildings will begin shortly. The farmers affiliated with the or ganization have readily responded to the calls made on them for subscrip tions for this undertaking, one town ship union subscribing 1300. The proposition is to erect one large ware house in the city and then have smal ler ones In representative sections of the county, easily accessible to all the farmers. The' leaders In this movement, which was tunned hut dropped by the local division of thn cotton growers' organization a year ago, have been assured, it 1h rtl)d-r-stood, that warehouse receipts will be honored by the banks of the city. Those farmer who deposit the I r cot ton in such institutions get its ap proximate value In ,-axh. while at the aine time It will Ve held until after that season when th market is de pieseed. The plan Is feasible and ca:i he worked siHvcsnftilly In the es timation of leading farmers, provided the hanks lend their assistance; oth erwise, it cannot amount to much. CAUKNDAR Mill THIS WFKK.
