COTTON SEED MEAL
AS A FERTILIZER
Georgia School of Agriculture Is
sues a Bulletin on the Value
of Meal as Shown by
Experiments.
President Andrew M. Soule, of
the Georgia State College of
Agriculture, has issued the fol
lowing bulletin relative to fhe
fertilizing value of cotton seed
meal:
Foreign farmers through long
experience realize that the main
tenance of soil fertility is neces
sary to continue prosperity, and
appreciating the high feeding
and fertilizing value of cotton
seed meal and are utilizing it
as extensive as possible in their
feeding operations.
A ton of cotton seed meal con
tains 140 pounds of nitrogen
which at 15 cents a pounds
would be worth $21.00, 40 pounds
of phosphoric acid which at 5
cents a pound would be worth
$2.00 and 40 pounds <f potash
which at 5 cents a pound would
be worth $2.00 or a total of
$25.00 worth of fertilizing mater
ial per ton at prevailing prices
for commercial plant food. There
is no other concentrate on the
market which approaches cotton
seed meal in fertilizing value,
as the following table shows:

A comparison of the fertilizing
value of the several foodstuffs
which are commonly purchased
and fed to live stock, indicates
very clearly why the farmer
should feed cotton seed meal.
Since from 96 to 98 per cent of
the mineral matter consumed is
voided by beef cattle and from
75 to 80 per cent by dairy cows
it is clear that if a sufficient
amount of absorbents are used
in the stable and the urine and
manure thus obtained applied
directly to the land and plowed
under that only a comparatively
small amount of the fertilizing
value of the meal will be lost.
There is no reason under ordi
nary methods of farm practice
why at least 75 per cent of the
fertilizing value of cotton seed
meal should not be returned to
the land. Under good manage
ment two profits may be ob
tained from utilizing cotton, seed
meal; first, in the production of
milk or beef; second, as a fertil
izer medium. A ton of cotton
seed meal judiciously fed should
be worth at least $25.00 and there
should be returned to the soil
about $20.00 worth of plant food.
THE OLD WORLD AND ITS WAYS
BY WILLIRM J. BRYAN
This remarkable book of 575
pages, voluminously illustrated
and elegantly bound, has been
issued by “The Thompson Pub
lishing Company” of St. Louis,
Mo., and is sold by subscription.
We would advise our young
friends who are out of employ
ment to seek the agency and can
vass for this book. It is cer
tainly one of the most readable,
entertaining and edifying vol
umns we have read in a long
time. It was almost like retrac
ing our first trip around the
world, with less than one-thous
andth of the money and one-hun
<lredth of the time required for
our "first trip”
The great problems of civiliza-
tion, religion, philosophy and
government in Japan, China, the
Philippines, India, as well as
Europe, are presented in a clear
light by a great brain.
Mr. Bryan was accompanied on
this trip by his wife and two
younger children, William J., Jr.,
and Grace, aged 16 and 14, re
spectively. They started Sep
tember 21, 1905, and reached
home September 5, 1906, sixteer
days less than one year. Whih
most of this trip was in thi
North Temjerate Zone, they were
below the equator a few days ir;
Java, and for a while above the
arctic circle in Norway.
This book ought to be in every
home where there are boys and
girls with brains and promise.—
