Monthly Letter from President Castillow
Mr. H. E. Wilson, Editor,
Oil Mill Gazetteer,
W harton, Texas.
Dear Mr. W ilson:
I know you will overlook the delay in my get­
ting this m onth's letter to you when I tell you
that I have been up against the usual condi­
tions that a superintendent has to contend with
nearly every year when starting to crush, getting
new machinery limbered up and working smooth­
ly, inefficient and inexperienced help, damp seed,
and a thousand and one other things to keep a
fellow harrassed to death. I have really not had
a m om ent’s time, day or night, fo r the last
month, to think about my letter. You have
doubtless been along this same road nad know
all about it without m y having to tell you.
I am very glad, indeed, to say that since I
wrote you in September I have received letters
from three or four o f the members, promising to
do better in the future, and I wish to assure
them that I certainly appreciate their letters
more than I can express to them, and I sincerely
trust that a large number o f the other members
not yet heard from will follow suit and write us
som ething now and then.
You remember in one o f m y letters several
months back, I cautioned the members to do
some “ house cleaning” and eliminate all fire haz­
ards possible, as it was strictly up to the mills as
to what they made their insurance costs. I just
want to again urge this m atter upon every one
of the members, if possisble, stronger than ever.
The crushing season is ju st starting and there
have already been two large fire losses in Texas
alone that I know o f ; one a large seed house with
contents, and the other a large mill plant, with
losses running into the thousands o f dollars.
I ju st noticed a few days ago an article in one
o f the magazines from Mr. G. A. Baumgarten,
m anager o f the Schulenburg Oil Mill, wherein
he states that he had been in the oil mill busi­
ness fo r forty-five years now, and has had $69.00
fire loss in that length o f time. W h y can’t the
oil milling industry as a whole show as good a
record ? I believe if we all will watch closely,
and keep all fire hazards eliminated, we can make
as good a record as Mr. Baumgarten.
Yours truly,
c. C. CASTILLOW.

MONTHLY LETTER FROM MR. MORRIS
I------- ----------- _
-----------------------------------------
Oil Mill Gazetteer,
Wharton, Texas.
Dear Editor:
I hope that I am not too late to get this
letter in the October issue. It has rained so
much in Oklahoma the last few days (or rather
weeks), that we have hardly had time for any­
thing, except hunting dry places. It is bad on
Oklahoma’s big cotton crop, and yet it would be
a God-send if something would cut some of it
off.
A t the Galveston meeting several of the mem­
bers promised to write the Gazetteer once a
month. I have not noticed a single letter from
those boys. We are all busy, but the time has
come now that you must help the officers on
the plans for our future welfare. If you re­
member, a committee was appointed to go into
the advisability of a permanent meeting place.
This question has been on the minds of some
o f our most conservative members. I have often
heard this question discussed. W e should settle
this thing for good at our next convention, and
it will be before the next meeting either with
or without the endorsement of your present offi­
cers. We have been notified to report, and we
will do so; but don’t you think we should have
an expresssion from the membership on this im­
portant question? Let me urge each member
who is interested to write the Gazetteer. By
doing this you can relieve the committee to some
extent. The secretary had a talk with one of
the committee from the machinery men just re­
cently and this seems to be the general topic
at the present time. The officers of the two
associations will endeavor to get together on the
subject, and then submit it to a vote of the
members. Yet we need the advice of the mem­
bership, some of our most informed mn are
against the movement to have a permanent
meeting place. In doing so, they are working
for what they believe is the best for the asso­
ciation, and use as an argument that a great
many members look on each year’s convention
time as an outing and a time of pleasure and
good time. Those who look at it in this manner
want the meeting place to be different each
year in order to see something new.
and are contented to meet anywhere, and at
the same time give a few minutes to sight see­
ing. These are two plans I have heard discussed.
You will readily see that we have a very im­
portant question to deal with. Can we expect
you to give us your opinion on th is? The pres­
ident, vice president and the secretary compose
the committee from our association, and the
machinry men have selected their officers to
co-operate with us in trying to get this mat­
ter settled. Your officers will take a definite
stand when the time comes, but we would be
very glad to read several articles in the Novem­
ber issue on this question. More will be given
out concerning this in each isssue. The presi­
dent will give you some dope in the next issue
concerning the movement, and I am asking your
vice president, Mr. Davis, to come in and write
on the subject for November.
The time is
fast passing and it will only be a short while
until we will be planning for the next convention.
Give us your support, boys, and let’s show our
president that we appreciate his efforts.
We were very sorry to learn that our loyal
and good friend George T. Parkhouse has been
very sick, but are glad that he is on the road
to recovery.
On the other side are those who go to the
convention each year to examine all new machery and attend each session of the meeting, put­
ting in their time studying the mill problems,
zMr. J. F. W aggoner, vice president of the
DeSoto Oil Company, and Mr. J. P. Dickinson,
the superintendent, made a business trip to
Blytheville, Arkansas, on the 8th.
Let’s have fifty letters in the November Gaz­
etteer on some good subject. Your truly,
F. P. MORRIS, Secretary.

Mr. A. T. Kennon, asssitant manager of the
DeSoto Oil Company, made a business trip to
Truman, Arkansas, on the 27th.
The RipleyOil Mills of Ripley, Tennessee, own­
ed by W. G. Rice, was destroyed on the morning
o f August 30th by fire. The mill was located
on the outside o f the city limits and the fire
department had to fig h t under trying difficul­
ties.
The approximate loss was $40,000.00
with no insurance. The plant had not been run
as an oil mill fo r several years, but some of
the buildings were used as a storage for feedstuffs, wagons, etc.
The flames also spread
to the Ripley Canning Company, and it was
soon a mass o f flames.
Mr. A. G. Davis, manager of the Indianola
plant of the Mississippi Power & Light Company
died September 20th from injuries received in
the Indianola Oil Mill. Mr. Davis was carried
from Indianola to Greenville to K ing’s Daughters
Hospital in a Hollis Rogers ambulance, reaching
there 45 minutes after the accident. But surgi­
cal aid and a blood tranfusion from fou r local
employees of the company failed to save his
life.
Mr. Davis and Mr. Riddick, one o f the
higher officials o f the company from Jackson,
had gone to the oil mill to inspect some electri­
cal equipment when Mr. Davis acidentally step­
ped into a conveyor. His right leg was caught
in the machinery and was torn from his body
as Mr. Riddick pulled him from the death grip­
ping machinery.
Mr. Davis was one of the
most valued men of the company and is sur­
vived by a w ife and three daughters.
The large com press o f the Conway Compress
Company of Conway, Arkansas, was destroyed
by fire on September 23rd with a loss of over
$300,000. A bout 10,000 bales o f cotton were
stored in the plant and about 3,500 were burned.
The value of the burned cotton on a basis of
$70 per bale was $245,000.00. The press, costnig $45,000.00 was a total loss, and the loss to
building and equipment was $95,000. The worst
feature o f the fire was that about 1000 blaes
o f the burned cotton belonged to small farmers
who carried no insurance. The Conway Com­

press Company is an independent company fo s­
tered by local men but partly owned by the
R. L. Taylor and N ewberger compress interests
o f Memphis.
New material was immediately
ordered.
The north unit storage plant of the Southeast
Missouri Compress Company was destroyed by
fire at midnight on September 2rd, approxim ate­
ly 3400 bales of cotton were destroyed withan
estimated loss by the management o f $300,000.
The origin o f the fire by some of the authorities
is undetermined, but it is thought by some that
the fire originated in some of the new bales of
cotton. The fire wall which is made of brick,
separated the burned unit from the other units
and saved a more serious loss. The com press­
ing machinery and the south unit were not
damaged.
The warehouse will be replaced at
once as announced by C. C. Cox, local manager.
The many friends of Mrs. Louis J. Saino,
form erly Miss N ettye Reagan of the De Sota

Jr., who is his assistant. The offices in Atlanta
will be located ni the Atlanta Comemrcial E x­
change Building. This Exchange is strictly a
sales roganization and handles the cotton col­
lected by the twelve state associations, selling
on type entirely and directly to foreign and do­
mestic mills. Mr. Howard states they have just
experienced the best year in history, handling
nearly 1,500,000 bales during the past season
and the co-operatives look for this season to be
a record breaker. Mr. Howard is very much in
favor o f southern delivery o f contract cotton
at southern ports.
Mr. E. M. Perry, president o f the Perry Han­

The first bale of cotton raised in Shelby county
was bought by Stewart Gwynne Co., and was
received from G. W. Haynes o f Lucy, Tennessee.
It was sold at auction on the floor o f the cotton

is the fifth year in succession that this firm
has received the first' bale from Shelby county.
Nichols farm which adjoins the corporate
limits o f the city of Dyersburg, Te'rin., raised
and ginned the first bale of 1926 cotton in Dyer
county. The load was ginned by the Churchill
gin and sold at auction on the public square,
B. M. Pillow cotton buyer being the highest
bidder at 24 cents per pound. The Peoples Bank
&Trust Company have a premium o f $50.00-for
the first bale. This cotton is a fine staple and
was grown from Delfos seed. Mr. C. S. Thomp­
son, form er president of the United Farmers of
Am erica acted as auctioneer.
Mr. Tim Davis secretary of the Morrilton
Chamber o f Commerce announced the first week
in September that plans and specifications have

The United Farmers Gin Company o f Ridgely,
Tennessee, was host to a delightful fish dinner
on R eelfoot Lake on September 8th, only mem­

Several good speeches were made and
swimming, diving and other sports were en­
joyed by the one hundred guests.
Mr. C. P. Couch, vice president and general
manager o f the Mississippi Power & Light Co.,
announced on September 6th at Jackson, Mississ­
ippi, that for the first time in the history o f
Mississippi over 75 gins will be operated by elec­
tricity, as Mr. Couch has contracted to furnish
the power. Most of these gins are located in
the delta and all are now ginning cotton. Mr.
Couch states that ginning by electricity is econ­
omical and is plainly shown when you consider
some days when there is little cotton to gin and
theie is no waste in power, whereas, the steam
gin must keep fired up all day. .
nanced largely by citizens of Morrilton through
the Chamber o f Commerce. It is planned to
establish this mill which will operate 10,000
spindles and furnish employment to 250 people.
It is claimed that the payroll o f this mill will
total approximately $100,000 per year. About
10,000 bales of-cotton will be used. The mill fo r
Morrilton will manufacture cord tire fabric for
hose and rubber belting, it is understood.
The delta stations o f Mississippi reports the
results o f experiments made in fertilizing cotton
in the past five years as nitrogen at planting
time gives best results. It is understood that
in 1921 and 1922, 15 pounds of nitrogen per acre
were aplpied to each treated plot and in 1923
and 1924 22 1-2 pounds, and in 11925, 30 pounds,
these amounts being equivalent to 100, 150 and
200 pounds o f nitrae of soda per acre. Sulphate
o f amcnia gave the largest increase but was
followed closely by the mixture o f nitrate o f soda
and cottonseed meal.
Nitrate should be ap­
plied to the cotton early in the season, especially
in the delta section.
Acerman, McCool and Weir, Mississippi are
considering closing down their cotton gins for
an indefinite period owing to annonymous mes­
sages tacked on gins throughout that section
ordering that operations be ceased until better
prices fo r their cotton can be obtained, as repoited by Sheriff Dave Cottrell o f Clay County
on September 28th. It is believed that these
warnings have, been distributed by despondent
farm ers on account o f the unusually low prices
they are now being paid.

LOUIS GELDERT SAYS INJUSTICE DONE
TO TRADE BY W RONG FIGURES GIVEN
The cotton oil and cotton seed products trade
around Memphis, already nervous over the sw ift­
ly descending prices o f the various products and
the constantly changing basis, take issue with
Dr. E. R. Lloyd, director of the Farm Develop­
ment Bureau of the Memphis Chamber o f Com­
merce, who gave statistics on the value o f cotton
seed in a signed article on the farm page of last
Sunday’s Commercial Appeal. Cotton products
firm s of Memphis asked Louis N. Geldert, editor
and manager of the Cotton Oil Press, official
journal o f the Interstate Cottonseed Crushers
Association, to state the other side of the matter,
and Mr. Geldert gives additional figures, which
the trade declares are more accurate.
Mr. Geldert’s letter on the subject follow s:
Mr. E. R. Lloyd, Manager Farm Department,
Memphis Chamber of Commerce, Memphis,
Tennessee:
Dear Mr. Lloyd:
I am quite as keenly interested as you are
to have the farm ers o f the south get full value
fo r the seed in their cotton crop, as well as full
value for their cotton and other products. But
I think you did the oil mills a serious injustice
when you tried to show in your article on the
farm page of the Commercial Appeal Sunday, the
24th instant, that the mill products of a ton of
seed at present prices were worth $38.80, after
deducting $10 for the “ cost o f handling” or
working cost. A t that you did not allow any­
thing for freight on seed, or for operating profit,
when you compared your supposed products
value with the $25.00 a ton the farm er received
fo r seed.
In checking your figures, I have not asked
any of the mills fo r inform ation, but have se­
cured it from the laboratory that analyses much
o f the seed in this territory, and from dealers
who buy from the mills. The average yields
per ton I have used were reported to me yester­
day by Barrow-Agee Laboratories as the result
o f their analysis o f 497 samples drawn in the
past two weeks from scattered points in Tenn­
essee, Arkansas and Mississippi. They showed
88 per cent sound seed and 12 per cent imma­
ture, with a moisture content o f 14.42 per cent,
or 4.42 above the normal. The loss by moisture
in oil and ammonia was 144 pounds per ton,
and the dirt and trash 50 pounds, or a total
loss o f 195 pounds instead of the 150 pounds
you stated.
I obtained m y oil price quotation from Zim­
merman, Alderson & Carr, who as brokers, buy
G A Z E T T E E R
October, 1926
a large part of the oil from the mills in this
section.
Hum phreys-Goodwin Company, meal
dealers, gave me the meal p rice; the Memphis
Hull and Fibre Company the hull price; and
A . K. Burrow the linter price.
The yields and prices thus obtained for one
ton o f seed are as fo llo w s :
Oil, 313 pounds at 7 3-4 cents.........................$24.25
Meal, 816 pounds at $27................................. 11.62
Hulls, 542 pounds at $3.50.................................... 95
Linters, 90 pounds at 3 1-2 cents................ 3.15
Total value o f products................................. $39.97
Deduct working cost.......................$10.00
Freight and seed............................... 3.00
$13.00
Net Value o f products to the mills..............$26.97
The difference o f $1.97 in favor of the mills
between the net value at present market prices
and the $25 a ton price o f seed, is surely justified
by the risk they take of additional loss by the
heating of seed in storage, due to excess m ois­
ture.
The era o f speculation by the mills is past and
gone, we may hope, forever. The banks have
stopped all that.
The mills are selling their
product from day to day against purchases o f
seed. To pay more than a safe price fo r seed
would mean financial disaster. There is a serious
e ffo r t now being made, with the help of the
Agricultural Department at W ashington to estab­
lish standard grades of seed, under which each
lot o f seed will be bought and sold on its value.
It will take another year or more to work out
all the problems.
But the farm ers’ interests
are being carefully considered in the whole pro­
gramme o f standardization.
W on ’t you please correct the error in the
figures you used the other day to show yields
and prices? I think you owe it to the commun­
ity and I am sure your own sense o f justice
will dictate a prompt correction.
I no longer represent the oil mills in an official
capacity as form erly, having bought the Cotton
Oil Press from the Interstate Association. While
its pages will continue to be used by the asso­
ciation fo r conveying to the trade its official
communications and reports the magazine is
now independent o f any oil mill influence except
that o f a fair and ju st treatm ent of all interests
involved in the cotton and cotton seed products
industry from the cotton grower to the ultimate
consumer o f products.
I am with you in a desire to serve the whole
people o f the south. Yours very truly,
(S igned), Louis N. Geldert,
Editor and Manager Cotton Oil Press.

OIL
MILL
SEES NO REASON W H Y OIL CANNOT
BE BOUGHT AND SOLD ON BASIS GRADE
A close student o f the situation with wide
experience in the trade, presents his views and
suggestions, as follow s:
“ In the discussion o f settlement terms for
basis prime contracts in the sale o f crude oil,
which has engaged the attention o f the industry
since our last convention, it is only fair to re­
members that the m ajority of mill managers
are not fam iliar with the problems o f refining
cottonseed oil.
However, the refiners should
also remembers that the average crude mill is
only interested in seeing that it receives a
fair value fo r its oil, the quality of which at time
o f manufacture, is not known to the degrees pos­
sible in the other products o f the mill.
“ The crude mill wants to sell oil as the pro­
ducer sells cotton— basis middling, taking the
penalty of an inferior product and receiving the
benefit o f a superior product. This has been
agreed upon in principle by the refiners on many
ciccasions, and if a fair basis can be evolved for
discounts and premiums, their opposition could
not consistently be expected.
“ It does not appear reasonable that such a
fair basis is impossible of agreement and that
upon such agreement it be incorporated in the
rules o f the Interstate Association, without re­
course to so-called ‘special term s’ or code word
provisions.
“ The crude mills would like to see a rule that
would provide a sliding scale deduction for settle­
ments on o ff grade oil, that would take into
consideration the value of by-products reclaimed
by the refiner; one that would not penalize for
color and odor an entire shipment, when the
actual oil refined from the shipment might
amount to one-third the quantity, or less; a rule
which would as truly represent actual value in
the settlement of oil running 50 red as it would
in the settlement of oil running 12 red.
“ The crude mill would like to see a rule pro­
viding for a sliding scale o f premiums on oil
running better than prime, so that the manufac­
turer would have an incentive to ship the best
possible grade of crude oil, as free as possible of
water and settlings, even filtered, if practical.
“ It is preposterous to conceive that thsee two
problems cannot be worked out amicably and
fairly by buyer and seller. The whole prestige
o f the Interstate Association has been built upon
the co-operation and harmony o f these two in­
terests. The life blood of the Association is its
rules, the trading rules and the rules fo r arbi­
tration. These were established and made e ffe c­
tive by negotiations around the table by a spirit
G A Z E T T E E R

o f ‘give and take.’ Le us hold firm to the great
progress already made and make sure o f its
permenancy by working out our differences in
that same spirit. The industry can only go ahead
through co-operation. Without it there is only
chaos and retrogression.” — Cotton Oil Press.
CHOCTAW ’S OPERATING PLANS
The Choctaw Cotton Oil Company o f Ada,
Oklahoma, are operating nine mills this season,
nam ely: at Ada, Ardmore, Durant, Holdensville,
Poteau, Sallisaw, Shawnee and Weleetka, Okla­
homa and Fort Smith, Arkansas.
Changes in
the personnel o f the oil mill managers include
the appointment o f J. C. Sparks to succeed W . F.
Lindsey at A d a ; Leo E. W hittaker to succeed
J. J. Taylor at Poteau and R. F. Noe to succeed
Scott Lockhart at Weleetka.
The company has recently sold its mills at
Eufaula, Muskogee and Tulsa, Oklahoma.
The Eufaula Cotton Oil Company now owns
and perates the 6 press plant in that city. R. L.
Simpson is president and general manager and
F. M. Bowlin, local manager.
The mill as Muskogee, now 12 presses, has be­
come the property o f the Muskogee Cotton Oil
Company, of which J. C. Brown is president and
manager.
The newly organized Tulsa Cotton Oil Company
has purchased the mill at that place. Its presi­
dent and general manager is E. C. Burton, who
still retains his official position as vcie-president
and assistant general manager o f the Choctaw
Company. C. E. Jones is local manager.

This issue of the Oil Mill Gazetteer may seem
dry and uninteresting to the readers, however,
we have made an honest effort to get the mem­
bers of the association and other readers to write
something of interest for the columns— but to
no avail. It seems as if they have all decided
to let the editor do it all. We have been ex­
pecting something from our vice president ever
since the convention, and especially from the
others on the insurance committee, but we have
not had a word. The members o f the association
are interested very much in what this com m it­
tee can accomplish in connection with the com­
mittee o f the Crushers Association. The editor
has been very busy trying to make prime pro­
ducts out of hot seed, but regrets to say that
he has not yet found out how. He still has some
G A Z E T T E E R
October, 1926
hot seed on his hands and hopes that some one
will come to the rescue and give him a solution.
W ith hot seed and a labor shortage and numer­
ous other hills to climb, he has had very little
time fo r anything else this month.
The minutes of the last convention were mailed
out to the members this past month, and if you
have not received your copy, drop the secretary
a card and you should get it. W e sent all of our
extra copies to him and he should be able to
supply you if you did not get yours. However,
if you get your Gazetteer you should get your
copy o f the minutes, as we used the same mailing
list that is used on the Gazetteer.
Our good friend McNulty is again back on the
firing line. He has just returned from the sani­
tarium at Battle Creek, Michigan, where he has
been fo r an operation. He tells us that he feels
better than he has in a number of years and
that we will hear from him through the columns
o f the Gazetteer real often now. Mack says if
you want to get back to nature go to Battle
Creek and live.on raw vegetables such as carrots,
lettuce and other green food and no meats o f any
kind and nothing to drink but water. They also
put you cut in the sun with very few clothes
on and burn you brown all over— but according
to Mack it must have done the work fo r him.i
M cELREATH OF STAMFORD W RITES
US A SHORT LETTTER THIS MONTH
I have been reading each copy o f the Gazetteer
hoping to see some good letters from the boys
who actually know how to write a letter. But
very few seem to write, so it must be about
as Brother Castillow said in his last letter.
Anyway, I have been trying to oil mill for
about 30 days but when Brother Fash won’t an­
alyze my seed right, I am not very well satis­
fied with my oil yield. He sent several reports
out to us showing 230 pounds o f oil and a few
as low as 220 pounds of o il; so I don’t see how
I am going to get the oil if Brother Fash don’t
put it in the seed.
Mr. Davis over at Sweetwater and my friend
and neighbor Mike Dimphl at Abilene may help
me some. Mike will sure have a nice mill when
it is finished. He and his fam ily drove up and
spent Sunday with us here at Stamford, and
from the way that boy went after our corn bread
and turnip greens, his health must be back about
normal, I am glad to say.
I see our part o f the fire prevention boys are
on the job. Mr. Davis is here close to me and I
stay ready for inspection any time.

CHEMICAL METHOD ADOPTED
A t the meeting of the executive committee
o f the Interstate Cottonseed Crushers Association
held at the Hotel Peabody, Memphis, Saturday,
September 18th, Mr. E. R. Barrow, acting at the
request o f the chairman of the chem ists’ com­
mittee, Mr. T. C. Law, who was unable to be
present, appeared before the committee to pre­
sent the report and recommendation o f the
chem ists’ committee on the proposed method
o f determining free fatty acid in cotton seed.
In the chem ists’ committee’s report it was rec­
ommended that the method developed by the
special committee of the American Oil Chemists’
Society be adopted and published as a tenta­
tive method fo r use during the present season.
This special committee consisted of Mr. R. K.
Brodie, chairman, Proctor & Gamble C o.; Mr.
W . D. Hutchins, Southern Cotton Oil C o.; and
Mr. C. H. Cox, Barrow-Agee Laboratories; was
appointed by President R. H. Fash shortly after
the New Orleans meeting.
During the past
summer the committee has worked diligently on
the problem, conducting several hundred de­
terminations and making numerous co-operative
tests. The result has been the development of
the proposed method which is found to be simple
and easy of operation, and accurate within the
required limits.
a standard caustic using alkali blue as an indi­
cator. The free fatty acid is calculated by the
form ula: 28.2x normality of alkali x cc used
per cent F. F. A. equals ...........
W eight o f oil.
NOTES— The gasoline percolation should be con­
tinued sufficient time to give at least 2 Grams
o f oil.
The addition o f a small amount of gasoline to
the flask after the alcohol has been added before
titrating makes the end point sharper.
Tenth normal caustic soda is preferable fo r
low fatty acid oils but for oils above 5 per cent,
quarter or fifth normal is preferable.
In case it is desired to make the determination
where an analytical balance is not available,
extract a larger quantity of meats and, after
evaporating all the gasoline from the oil pipette
7.05 Grams and titrate with quarter normal caus­
tic.
The reading in this case is percentage
directly.
Submitted for your information.

In adopting this method as a tentative method,
it will have no effect upon present trading rules
or seed grades. However, it is hoped that the
new method will be used by all reference chem­
ists and other laboratories in reporting free
fatty acid in addition to their usual seed anal­
ysis, as a means of accumulating abundant data
fo r use in developing some plan o f cotton seed
grading.

The executive committee authorized the publi­

ward a copy of the method to each member of
the Association.
The Method follow s:
Determination o f Free Fatty Acid Extracted Oil
A t least 100 Grams o f the well mixed sample

The
meats are then separated by any laboratry huller or mill that will approximate factory condi­
tions and ground sufficiently to pass a 11/2 MM
sieve. Not less than 10 Grams of the thoroughly
mixed meats are extracted by cold percolation
with gasoline boiling below 70 degrees— the
gasoline evaporated o ff and the oil weighed.

STRICKLIN SA Y S HE IS G LAD TO SEE
DISCUSSIONS ON SEED CLEANIN G
Mr. H. E. Wilson, E ditor,
Oil Mill Gazetteer,
W harton, Texas.
Dear E ditor:
I have just received my copy o f the pro­
ceedings o f the convention at Galveston, and
was sure glad to see they are discussing seed
cleaning.
I never knew what seed cleaning
really meant until I came to the plains. These
bolly seed will certainly make you lose some
sleep if you are tryin g to do real work. There
are small particles o f burrs and sticks in them
that are almost impossible to separate from
the seed. A ir will not do it because they are
about the same w eight as lightseed. They not
only ruin your lint but travel on with the seed
and play the devil with your seperation. I f you
don’t steam your seed and make them tough
they powder up and get with your meats, mak­
ing your protein low and giving your meal a
reddish cast.
Not only that, but this fine s tu ff is taking
the place of coarse hulls you need to put in,
which clogs up your drainage, plays h--l with
your extraction— so if any o f you boys think
up a scheme to clean seed, pass it along, and
I will try it out fo r you. I have a complete
laboratory here and will sit up a few nights
to give it a trial.
I know there are not so
many o f you who have these things to contend
with, but I am more than willing to give any
o f you the benefit o f what experience I have
had with them, but as I see it, the only way
to get them out is over screens to get out all
you can and them break up the rest o f them
to where they are lighter than the seed so the
air will get the rest and not get the immature
or light seed.
Hoping you all have a prosperous season, I
am yours truly,

Answering Seme Questions About Oil Settlement
TERMS
W hat are Factor term s?
Factor is re-worded Flag. Factor has written
into it exactly what Flag was understood by
custom, arbitration and appeal to mean.
In case the quality of oil sold on Factor terms
is o ff, are the charges against the seller for
excess refining loss, o ff color, o ff flavor and
fo r sampling and analyses the same as they
were on Flag term s?
Exactly
whatever.
the
same,
without
any
difference
W as there an allowance to the seller for soapstock under Flag terms, as is there under Factor
terms ?
There was no such allowance under Flag terms
nor is there under Factor.
W ith reference to Fable terms, recently sug­
gested by the refiners to cover the sale o f crude
oil guaranteed not darker than 8.1 red— under
Fable terms is oil rejectable if it refines with a
loss in excess o f 9 per cent?
15
No. If the oil refines with a loss in excess of
9i/2 per cent the seller is charged back with 1
per cent o f the contract price fo r each 1 per
cent loss in excess of 9 per cent, but excess re­
fining loss is not ground for rejection.
Under Fable is oil rejectable if it produces
refined oil o ff in flavor and odor?
O ff flavor and odor is not ground for rejection
under Fable terms. The discounts for slightly
o ff flavor and odor are the same fo r Fable
and fo r Factor as the old Flag terms.
On what grounds
terms be rejected?
could
oil
sold
on
Fable
The only ground for rejection is when it re­
fines with a deeper red color than 8.1.
Interstate Rules provide that summer yellow
oil, in order to be classed as prime, must be no
darker in color than 7.6 red and must be sweet
in flavor and odor. W hy does Fable, which was
suggested as the basis for trading in “ prime” oil
allow the oil to pass as prime when darker in
color than the standard for prime and when o ff
in flavor nad odor?
Fable terms allow actually o ff, though not
badly o ff, oil to be a good tender on a sale of
prime oil as a tolerance to sellers. It assures
them that border line oil will not be rejected.
If oil sold on Fable terms refines with a d1/^
per cent loss and color o f 8.1 red, what allowance
must the seller m ake?
None, if the oil is prime in flavor and odor.
Fable provides no allowance fo r refining loss
and color unless the loss is in excess o f 9 ^ per
cent and the color darker than 8.1 red.
W hat premium would the seller get under
Fable terms fo r oil with an 8 per cent loss and
color o f 6.6 red?
One-half o f one per cent for low loss and onehalf c f cne per cent fo r light color, a total of
one per cent of the contract price.
Under Fable terms, with a 9%/% per cent loss

and a 6.6 red color, would the seller get a pre­
mium or be docked?
There would in that case be no dockage for loss
since it does not exceed 9^/2 per cent, and there
would be a premium o f one-half of 1 per cent
fo r light color.
W hat premium would the seller get on a very
choice oil running 5 per cent loss and 4.6 red
color.
Two per cent on account o f the low loss and
IV 2 Per cent on acount of the light color, or a
total o f 31/2 per cent.
W hy did the refiners, in suggesting Fable
terms, specify that unless the contract pro­
vided that official samples were to be drawn
then the seller was to accept buyer’s sampling
and analysis?
In order to avoid tying up tank car equipment,
trackage and other facilities and delaying the
use o f the oil.
W hy does not Fable carry the same provision
as to sampling and analysis as Factor, namely,
to await determination as to whether official sam­
ple is to be drawn until after it is known wheth­
er buyer’s analysis is acceptable to seller?
In an ordinary season only ten or fifteen per
cent of the oil is o f f in quality— sometimes less.
W ith no premium fo r choice oil this results in
an ordinary year, in tying up only a small pro­
portion o f the tank car equipment, trackage and
other facilities and delay in the use o f the oil.
This tie-up and delay occurs while the refiner
is taking a sample and having it analyzed by his
chemist and reporting the result o f thisanalysis
back to the seller and, if requested by the seller,
while official sample is being drawn. But when
the quality is badly o ff, and charges against the
mill may run quite heavy— sometimes as much as
several cents per pound— it would seem reason­
able to safeguard the seller’ s interest in every
possible way, even at the expense o f such incon­
venience to the buyer. Fable, however, or any
other terms contemplating a premium to the
seller for fine oil, suggests settlement for even
prime oil on a basis o f chemical analysis. W ith
eighty-five or ninety per cent o f the total produc­
tion prime oil the same delay in arriving at a
settlement as on o f f oil would so tie up tank car
equipment that it would be difficult to obtain
enough tank cars fo r the industry to handle
the production in flush season. Besides, on prime
oil the adjustment in price would under no con­
ditions be more than a fraction of a cent per
pound. The adjustm ent would seldom be in the
nature o f a charge against the seller, but instead
would practically always be a credit to him.
Under Fable terms, is the seller obliged to
accept buyer’s sampling and anlysis?
October, 1926
No. He can specify in the contract that official
sample is to be drawn. This provision enables
the refiner to go ahead and unload and use the
oil as soon as received.
Has any oil been sold on Fable terms since
these terms were suggested?
Probably not, because the mills have been
unwilling to sell on Fable terms.
W ould refiners now buy on Fbale terms if the
mills offered to sell on them ?
Probably not at this time. . This is because
the present market price has been built up on
the basis o f Factor terms. For trading to be
done on any terms that contemplate a premium
fo r fine oil it will be necessary for the mills to
sell freely on such terms and fo r the buyers to
buy on them in order to build up a price on the
basis of them. It is though you were buying
seed at $30.00 per ton, some, cars producing 294
pounds, others 300 pounds and others 306 pounds
o f oil per ton,.and paying $30.00 flat for all o f
them. You could ju st as well pay, say $30.60
fo r the 306 pound seed, $30.00 fo r the 300 pound
seed and $29.40 fo r the 294 pound seed. But
you could not pay more fo r the 306 pound seed
unless you got the 294 pound seed fo r less. If
you were paying a premium fo r seed with a high
oil yield your market quotation would most likely
be, in the case o f the illustration just used, say
$29.40 per ton with, roughly, a premium o f 2
per cent, making $30.00 per ton for the 300
pound seed, and 4 per cent, making $30.60 per
ton fo r the 306 pound seed. Your basis price
would have to be different under such conditions
— it would have to be lower. In just the same
way the refiner’s basis price would have to be
lower if he were paying a premium fo r such oil
as refined with a lower loss than the average
loss fo r prime crude. Nor would it a ffect the
analogy if seed were sold on a basis o f a pro­
duction o f 280 pounds o f oil per ton o f seed,
with a dockage fo r any lower yield, just as oil
is sold on a basis o f 9 per cent loss with a dock­
age fo r any higher loss. I f seed were so sold,
without any premium fo r a greater yield than” .

say 280 pounds, just as oil is now sold, without
any premium for a lower loss than 9 per cent,
and if the actual average yield were running
300 pounds per ton, you would be paying the
same price you are now paying— say $30.00 in
the illustration just used.
Competition would
force you to base your price on the estimated
average instead o f on the minimum. In just
the same way competition forces the refiner to
base his price fo r factor oil on the estimated
average instead of the basis of 9 per cent oil
specified in the terms.
W hy did the refiners consider Rule 51, as
amended in Asheville, im practicable?
Largely because under it, and the other rules
in connection with it, there would result a tie-up
in equipment, etc., to which we have already re­
ferred. Partly because it was hoped to avoid
heavy tax on the industry fo r official sampling
and analyzing. There are some thirty thousand
tanks of oil produced each year— the charge for
official sampling is $5.00 per tank and the charge
fo r each official analysis is $5.00. Partly fo r
the further reason that some refiners and others
considered that with Rule 51 amended as it was
even crude sold as basis prime would be thrown
under the prime rule for settlement in case the
oil should actually turn out prime.
W hy were not such other changes made in the
rules at Asheville as were thought necessary in
order to have amended Rule 51 workable?
Because those who represented the mills at
Asheville in June would not agree to such other
changes at that time.
Did the refiner members of the Rules Com­
mittee in New Orleans in May agree to settle­
ment terms for oil sold basis prime which would
give the seller a premium in case the oil turned
out to be fine quality with a low refining loss?
No. W hat the refiner members of the Com­
mittee in New Orleans in May suggested was a
rule fo r “ Prime Crude Cotton Seed Oil.” Inci­
dentally, the sampling provision o f their sugges­
tion was practically the same as the recently
suggested Fable terms.
Their suggestion for
sampling w as: “ Samples shall be drawn by the
buyer in accordance with Section 2, Rule 242.
The seller agrees to accept buyer’s chemist’s cer­
tificate of anlysis when oil refines under 9 per
cent loss. If seller requests sample to be sent
E L E C T R IC A L
17
GAZETTEER
to referee chemist the name of the chemist shall
be part of the contract, and seller must assume
the cost of such analysis. In case of difference
between buyer’s and seller’s analyses, settlement
is to be made on the mean of such results.”
Can a particular rule or settlement terms be
worked out that would give the seller a premium
fo r such individual tanks as run low in refining
loss and for light color without the seller ac­
tually having to guarantee prime quality in the
contract ?
No such particular rule or terms has so far
been suggested. It is doubtful if it could be
worked out. The refiner would not be able to
hold the bag for the mill to the extent o f taking
either oil or muck, 5 per cent loss or 50 per cent
loss, whichever it suited the mill to furnish on
his contract. He could not do it and live. A fter
all is said and done, the mill must ship and the
refiner must handle the kind o f oil the mill
happens to produce.. Last season, for example,
in the Valley the mills had sold heavily against
heavy purchases o f prime seed. They expected,
and the buyers expected, that the oil would run
prime.
Rains set in, however, and the mills
found it to their interest to store their prime
seed and crush current receipts of o ff quality
seed and deliver the oil from such o ff seed on
their contracts. Not only did the mills find it
convenient to do that, but that is the thing
that had to be done in order to save the seed
crop in that section.
It is quite probable that further desirable
changes in rules and trading terms can be made
if representatives of the mills and of the refiners
will sit down together with an understanding
o f the problems that each is up against. I f such
changes are made, however, it will be necessary,
in order for them to be workable, that they be
agreeable to the m ajority o f the mills and o f the
refiners.— The Cotton Oil Press.

TEXAS AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT
ISSUES INTERESTING BOOKLET
The Texas Agricultural Experiment Station,
located at College Station, Texas, has recently is­
sued a most comprehensive booklet known as
Bulletin No. 341. The booklet treats on cotton­
seed products as feed, fertilizer and human food.
The publication was prepared at the request
of a committee of the Texas’ Cottonseed Crushers
for authoritative inform ation regarding the use
of cottonseed products as feed and fertilizer.
Members of the sta ff o f the Experiment Station,
the Extension Service and the School of A gri­
culture co-operated in preparing this inform a­
tion. This bulletin discusses briefly the proper­
ties o f cottonseed products, their feeding values,
and methods for feeding to various classes of
live stock.
Rations are suggested fo r beef cattle, dairy cat­
tle, sheep, poultry, hogs and horses and mules,
and some mention is made o f the use of cot­
tonseed flour as human food. The use of cot­
tonseed meal as a fertilizer is discussed and
some formulaes are given for home mixing. A
selected list o f references is given.
The booklet was gotten out under the direction
of R. Youngblood, director o f the experiment
station nad Dr. T. 0 . W alton, president of the
Texas Agricultural and Mechanical College. W e
would suggest that our oil mill friends through­
out the cotton belt write fo r a copy of the
booklet, as it contains a large amount of useful
feed and fertilizer formulaes, in addition to a
great deal of ready reference data pertaining
to the uses of cottonseed products.

Mr. H. E. Wilson, W harton, Texas.
Dear Mr. W ilson:
A s you know, Mr. Duncan’s subscription to
the Gazetteer is paid up until next June. I
shall appreciate it if you will please send the
rem aining issues to Mr. J. F. Ball, in care o f
the Greenville Oil Mill. Since Mr. Duncan’s death
Mr. Ball has been made superintendent here
and I know he will appreciate the news and inform aticn contained in your good magazine.
On behalf of m yself and fam ily, I wish to
thank you fo r the tribute you paid Mr. Duncan.
W e appreciate it so much. Sincerely your friend,
Mrs. Charles Duncan.
The Planters Gin Company at Hickman, Ken­
tucky was destroyed by fire on the morning of
September 29th with an estimated loss of $17,000.00.
The fire started in the down stairs
press. The origin is unknown. It was discov­
ered by the watchman and the fire spread so
quickly the entire gin was on fire by the time
the fire department could reach the scene. How­
ever, hard work by the fire department saved
the seed storage houses nad the cotton storage,
burning only the gin property. Only five bales
o f cotton were destroyed along with the bagging
and ties that were stored in the gin. It was
owned by about 20 planters o f Hickman, and
possibly did more business than any gin in that
section.
THE UNKN OW N GREAT
The official bulletin, the Cotton Oil Press, of
the Interstate Cottonseed Crushers’ Association,
has been purchased by Mr. Louis N. Geldert, who
for the past ten years been editor and manager.
Mr. Geldert will conduct the Cotton Oil Press
as a private enterprise having organzied the
Interstate Publishing Company, Inc., fo r that
purpose. The Cotton Oil Press is a world wide
trade journal and will be enlarged to cover in­
terests from cotton ginning to products market­
ing. Mr. Eugene Roper who for the past ten
years has been connected with the C om ^ cial
Appeal has joined the sta ff of the Cotton Oil
Press as assistant editor and manager. During
the war the offices o f the Inter-state Cottonseed
Crushers were maintained in W ashington in o f­
ficial co-operation with the Food Administration.
When you come to think o f it there are men,
and many of them, who did things of value,
but whose names are lost in the mists of an­
tiquity, if indeed they were ever known. W hat
o f the forgotten Florentine, who was the first
European to engrave on w ood? And who in­
vented the needle? Or who first taught men
to use a wheel ? Or who first thought of making
an ice house? W ho built the first chim ney?
W ho laid the first wooden flo o r? Who invented
glass? W ho first braved the laughter of society
by being the first to use a fo rk ? W ho was the
unpopular citizen who, fo r health’ s sake, put
through the law requiring every one going out
o f town in a horse-drawn vehicle to take with
him a load o f garbage ? Those and others o f the
unknown great surely shaped things to definite
ends, though they fashioned neither epics nor
dramatic tragedies.— Dearborn Independent.

CAKE BREAKER
This breaker handles either h o t or cold cake rapidly, ef­
ficiently and with a minimum expense. The two saw tooth
crushing- rolls are practically indestructible. They are so
arranged to break the cake fine enough in one operation to
be handled on the cake mill. When desired we build this
machine with an adjustment that permits coarse or fine
breaking-. Why not look into this proposition and see how
it can help you show bigger profits on the next crush.
