The seed also furnishes a dyestuff which I has been used to some extent It is believed that an increased konvvledge of the nature and value of the products of cotton seed will extend their use until it will be found profitable to work up the available crop of seed into commercial com-mercial products instead of utilizing utiliz-ing in this way only about one-third one-third of the crop, as is now the case. Why cannot some of our moneyed men in southern Utah go to work and establish factories for manufacturing manu-facturing oil from the cotton seed, and supply our home market? Then the money would be kept ac home. There are many other home industries in-dustries that could be mentioned which would be a benefit to the community." But there is one thing sure, if the people would patronize our institutions in-stitutions more, it would be an encouragement en-couragement to captalists to invest in-vest and establish new industries COTTON, ETC. As this part of the country is so admirably adapted to the growth of cotton, we give the following "summary" of "cotton seed and its productes" Farmers Bulletin 2$o. 36, published at Washington D. C., and trust it may be worthy i so, perusal by our readers. tnat would be a benefit to the people. peo-ple. If the industries already established estab-lished are not property encouraged, captalists can see it and dare not launch out, but when those enterprises enter-prises already established are well palronize'd, we will see new ones springing up. For the last few years there has not been enough cotton grown in this vicinity to keep the Rio Vir-gen Vir-gen Mills, which are located at Washington, Utah, in constant operation, and some seasons they have had to import cotton so as to have enough to work up with their wool. We would recommend ihe' farmers far-mers to grow more cotton and sheepmen to dispose of their wool at home instead of exporting it, and in turn we would like to see the farmers and sheepmen receive a fair valuation for their products, commensurate with other classes of labor.. We do not believe in mechanics receiving four to eight dollars per day while farmers receive re-ceive from one to two dollars per day! It is. an inequality that should be adjusted, and that speedily. speed-ily. Live and let live is a good maxim. Cotton stands preeminent among farm crops in the case and cheapness cheap-ness of its production as compare-ed compare-ed with the variety and value of its products. The amount of soil fertility actually removed in a crop of cotton, cot-ton, even when both seed and lint are sold, is smaller than that removed re-moved by either corn or oats, aad , when care is taken to return the 'f seed or an equivalent in meal to i the soil these losses are almost in significant, t Cotton roots furnish . a useful '1 drug; the stems and leaves togeth- i er have a certain value as fodder, I and the stems alone have been . utilized with some success for ( . fiber and for fuel; but next in importance im-portance to the lint stands 'the seed, ; . which furnishes a great variety of valuable products whose applica- tions are being rapidly extended.
