But many car drivers are exposing themselves
daily \to deadly exhaust fumes from leaky

and there is not enough volume to
justify operation of a delinting plant
on anything except the larger farms.
A good many farmers, he thinks,
would bring seed to a custom de-
linting plant if one were available
nearby.
Results of Texas Agricultural Ex-
periment Station tests over a period
of years have proven that treatment
