Southern classification keeps cotton seed products as fertilizer
The Southern Classification Committee, with railroad reps from states east of the Mississippi and south of the Ohio and Potomac rivers, decided not to switch cotton seed products from fertilizer to food rating. The move would have raised freight rates 100 to 150 percent. About 100 Southern oil men attended the hearing, with H W B Glover of Norfolk arguing that the change would burden Southern farmers and oil mills by hundreds of thousands of dollars annually.
