No. 150 ECONOMIC ASPECTS OF COTTON SEED Commercial Economist Discusses Eco- nomic Factors in the Cotton Seed Oil Industry. “Soap Making and Edible Oils,” was discussed in a very interesting and instructive manner by Dr. W. R. Whitney, economist for the Proctor and Gamble Co., last Friday evening. It was the third of a series of lec- tures to be presented through the courtesy of the T-xas Cotton Seed Crushers’ Association. Dr. Whitney discussed the subject both from a technical and a general business standpoint. The technical processes of modern soap making as practiced by the Proctor and Gam- bl © Cc., vegetable oils, their impor- tance and distribution both at hcme and abroad, economic factors in the fluctuation of vegetable oil prices, romance of the utilization of the cot- on seed, and cotton seed from an economic standpoint, were thc impor- tant points stressed in the lecture. “Modern methods of large scale pro- duction have enabled our company tu produce a cheaper and at the same time a high grade scap than tne old home methods,” he said. A staff of chemists are continually employed to maintain our standards of manu- facture and introduce new and better methods. “Vegetable oil is fast becoming one ¢f the world’s most important indus- tires du> to the perfection of the processes of de-odorization and hy- drozenation, but the returns are being held down due to a harmful tariff and exchange fluctuations. Export trade is the basis of our profit and unless we can revive the foreign mark-t the South is going to suffer. “The story of the cotton seed is one of the most striking of our indus- trial romances, starting from a small press in 1826, the South now has 750 mills in operation, and the products, oil, meal, linters and hulls, have all important industrial uses. “In spite of the restriction of ex- cess mills, short season non-ccntral- ized markets and unscrupulous spec- ulaticn, the cotton seed industry is a fascinating one, and its success in the future will reflect on the prosperity of the Urited States, and especially the South.” ‘Engineering Group Of Social Club Is Host to .

AGGIES WIN TWO GAMES FROM OWL BASEBALL TEAM The Aggies took their first con- ference game Friday afternoon by defeating the Rice Owls. The score was 11 to 2. There were few errors in the game. The one sided score was the result of the batting efficien- cy of the Aggies, and the inability of the Owls to master the speed and curves of “Lefty” Rogers who pitched the nine innings for the Farmers. The third inning won the game for the locals. On six clean hits in that period they counted six runs. The second game was won by the score of 25 to 9. The Aggies regis- tered 18 tallies in three consecutive innings. The Owls led 6 to 3 at the end of the second but the Farmers led 12 to 8 at the end of the fourth. ele LOST—Camera from the new Dairy Husbandry Building.
