Chits. Stem Co. “The Home of Good Clothes” © I© © © © © © © © © © © © © © © © ©| © © © 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. Cotton Seed Meal Versus Cotton Seed istible diges- pounds of digestible pro tein, 592 pounds of digestible carbohydrates and 330 pounds of digestible fat One hundred pounds of choice cotton seed meal contain 37 pounds of digestible protein, 21.8 pounds of digestible carbohydrates, and 8.$ pounds @T©T@T©T®I@T®T©T©T©T©T©T©I©I®I@T©I®I©I@I@I©I®I©I®I©I@I@I©I® (By Associated Press.) 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 bles and reports of very small offer 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 figures.

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 think that the seed contain some plant food,- and in never by any stretch of the imagination can the fer- ne made drates and fat as NEW YORK COTTON, following were’ the' ruling average’ farmer may ' - but „ __ of the seed be made to approximate more than half the value of the plant food content ot a ton of meal. 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 on the farm can only be accomplished under existing conditions at monetary loss to the owner, and tne deprivation of the world of a hum food material in the form ot cotton seed oil which is of the greatest im- ipldly increasing population and the return fit which " directly as fertiliser a detriment and this he' is right, tilizer content of the seed portance to our rapidly increasing to the soil through the use of not a benefit. prices in the exchange today: Prev.
