He Urges That No New Machinery Be Installed
Daring Year.
Cotton brokers and firms in
Oklahoma City which handle
cotton seed products have re-
ceived from Herbert Hoover, na-
tional food administrator, an
important communication relat-
ing to the cotton industry in Ok-
lahoma. The communication
urges strictest economy in op-
eration of compresses, asks that
no new machinery be added dur-
ing the year and that cotton
mills in the state which have
been dormant during the last
several years not be operated.
“A study of the number of
presses now in active operation
indicates that there is
a great degree and speculation,
hoarding and waste have been
largely checked on account of
the sacrifices, Hoover states.
The food administrator as-
serts that a rule has been made
that any plant or factory for
crushing cottonseed, which has
not been operating during the
seasons of 1916-17 and 1917-18
will not be permitted to operate
without first getting a permit
from the food administration.
Application for this permit must
show that the operation of the
plant is a public necessity and
for the public good.
Information has reached the
administration that certain fac-
tories are contemplating addi-
