Never in the history of the south has cotton seed brought' so royal a
price as during the present season. In fact, the figures attained have so
fir surpassed those previously recorded that the time seems nearly at
hand of which Edward Atkinson, of New England, must have been think
ing when he said that his section of the country would be willing for the
South to have the lint of cotton, provided New England might have the
seed from which to manufacture that generous variety of by-products for
the nutrition of man and beast now so well and favorably known in every
part of the civilized world. The increased price of cotton seed has been
such this .fall as to add an equivalency in value in many instances of as
much as one to two cents to each pound of lint produced on the average
farm. Cotton seed has thus become an economic factor of the greatest
possible importance to the south. .. , ,
Under the circumstances, one would think that the farmer would clearly
and quickly recognize that it is to his best interests to sell his seed un
less perchance he prefers to retain it with the idea of exchanging it for
meal. Strange to say, many land owners seem stil) to be possessed of the
idea that in selling their seed they are conferring a favor on the pur
chaser or on the public in general, and depriving themselves in some
mysterious and not well understood manner of a substantial profit to
hich they are Justly entitled. No clear or definite reason can be as
signed for this position, and if there is a good one, the writer has not
been able to ascertain it.

New York, Dec. 20.—The cotton
market opened firm at an advance of
8 to 16 points today with January
selling up to 12.00, (March to 12.30,
and /May to 48.66. /Relatively firm ca

ings of spot in Liverpool seemed to
stimulate the covering movement
which developed here on Saturday,
and there was quite a demand at the
start. The advance, however, met
offerings from houses with New Or
leans and Memphis connections as.
well as considerable local realizing
and prices soon eased back to within
a to 6 points of 'Saturday’s closing

ig, well supplied with an* abundance of those food elements known
as carbohydrates and fail and which are primarily concerned in .the pro
duction of heat and energy. There Is hardly a farm, however, which is
reasonably well supplied with the element known as protein, and which
is concerned in the formation ot flesh, the maintenance of nervous-, energy
find the proper development of muscles, skin, ligament, born, hair and
milk. Naturally, protein is a high-priced and difficult element to obtain.
Were it -not essential for the proper maintenance of live stock, the ques
tion of the proper nutrition of animals would be materially simplified, and
the farmer would rarely, if ever, find it necessary to purchase concentrated
commercial feeding materials. As it is, it is seldom possible for the aver
age farmer, and particularly In the south, to produce all the concentrates
needed, even under the wisest systems of farm management, which,
we all know, are not followed on many of our farms.
Most Protein At Lowest Cost
The question therefore resolves Itself Into what the farmer can purchase
that wlU ‘ *
tive
mood
It is true, it "contains only about half as much carbohydral
the seed, but, as already explained, these are net difficult or costly ele
ments to obtain. Hence, If cotton seed were as desirable a food to feed
to Uve stock as cotton seed meal, the farmer would stiU have to feed three
tons of it to secure the same protein equivalent obtained from one ton of
choice meaL With cotton seed selling at $35.00 a ton, the farmer would
have to? Invest $105.00 to obtain the protein equivalent In one ton of meal
which will not cost him more than $35.00. In addition he will have wasted
a great deal of fat and energy to no purpose, and will he poorer as the
result ot this practice by $70.00.
From , the standpoint of the maintenance of animals, there Is no reason
why cotton seed should be kept on the farm. In fact, the large quantity
ot oil it contains makes its use as a foodstuff undesirable, a tact which
has been pointed out over and over again. Moreover, the seed does not
combine with satisfaction with the great yariety of foodstuffs available
on the average farm. On the other hand, the meal can be combined with
any of. these foodstuffs with advantage, and when fed to live stock the
:ater part of its plant, food content is voided, and the manure, if properly
ten care of, as-it can and should be, becomes a source for enriching the
ids of the farm, and therefore maintaining their fertility. It is true the

Cotton Seed Meal Greatly Preferred
These facts seem to make It dear that cotton teed is possessed of no
special virtue as a foodstuff; in fact, that the meal is much to be preferred
for use: on the average farm and with the class ot live stock we maintain
In the largest numbers. From any point ot view, the retention ot the seed

monetary loss to the owner, and tne deprivation of the world of a hum
