The "new process" is one of extraction by means of volatile sol- 

 vents, such as carbon bisulfld or gasoline, more generally the former. 

 The meal is placed in a large chamber and streanns* of the solvent 

 are caused to slowly trickle through the mass, dissolving and ex- 

 tracting the oil, which is then recovered by evaporation of the solvent. 

 The extracted meal is likewise freed from all traces of the solvent. 

 Less than 3.5 per cent, of oil is commonly left in the meal, and some- 

 times less than 2 per cent. In general, the "new process" meal con- 

 tains about 4.75 per cent, less oil than the ''old process" meal and, 

 correspondingly, 2.5 per cent, more protein. There is no ground for 

 the quite frequent belief that there is an injurious chemical left in 

 the meal treated by the extraction process. 



The meal, as prepared by either of the above processes, is of a 

 grayish-brown color and contains numerous dark-brown or black par- 

 ticles of the seed-coat. 



The following samples were gathered by Department agents for 

 examination:
