Abstract

Excerpts from the report Introduction: Labor and power are two major operating costs of cottonseed oil mills. Earlier studies have indicated wide variation among mills in the costs of these services, which accounted for about one-third of the total processing cost in 1950-51. The study on which this report is based is part of a broad program of research to help business firms handling farm products to operate more efficiently. The purpose of the study was to make available to mill operators information about the industry which would be useful to them in their efforts to achieve savings in man-hours and power. In line with this purpose, a sample was selected for analysis from the 286 cottonseed oil mills in the United States listed as active during the 1953-54 season. The sample was designed to include mills using all types of oil-extraction processes (hydraulic, screw-press, combination hydraulic and screw-press, and solvent-extraction), of varying sizes, and located in the 3 major cotton-producing areas.
