by tbe action, tie proposed action, of
tbe Southern farmers; thl* growing de

another cants of higher prices.
Farmer* must f(Oi torgit or Igooft

ff there wat not an export demand

farmers would be able to buy zonal for

wow Id also take let* fot bla eotton seed

Cotton lead meal fa high because
Europe stands re.dy to lake all made

oaus* oil milts ean sell meet at present

than say year aluor 1803.
Why Is ooltmi seed oil higher than
ulueelbe sprln- or 1883 T Simply be
cause tho supply of oliva all, tallow,
