Never In tho history of the south has cotton seed brought ho royal a
price as during the present season. In fact, tho figures attained have s
far surpassed thoso previously recorded that the time seemH nearly at
hand of which Edward Atkinson, of New England, mustimvebeenthlnk-
ing when he said that his section of the country would be vrillingfor tho
south to have the lint of cotton, provided New England might have the
seed from which to manufacture that generous variety of by-products foi
the nutrition of man and beast now so well and favomblyknowu n etery
part of the civilized world. The Increased price of cotton seed has been
such this fall ns to add an equivalency In value in many instances of as
much aa one to two cents to each pound of lint produced on tie (hverjlito
farm. Cotton seed haB thus become an economic factor of the greatest
P °Under t™e°clmimstances, ono^would think that tho farmer would clearly
and quickly reoognize 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 lain! owners seem still to be Poasesaedof the
Idea that in selling their seed they are conferring a favor on the pur
chaser or on tho public in general, and depriving themselves in Bomo
mysterious and not well understood manner of a substantial profit to
which they are Justly entitled. No clear or definite reason can be as
signed for this position, and if there is a good one, tho writer has not
been able to ascertain it
Cotton Seed Meal Versus Cotton Seed
One hundred pounds of cotton seed contain 13.3 pounds of digestible
protein, 29.0 pounds of digestible carbohydrates and 1G.G Pounds of diges
tible fat. A ton of seed, therefore, contains 2G6 pounds of digestible pro
tein, 692 pounds of digestible carbohydrates and 330 pounds of digestible
fat. One hundred pounds of choice cotton seed meal contain 37 pounds or
digestible protein, 21.8 pounds of digestible carbohydrates, and 8.G pounds
of digestible fat. A ton of choice meal therefore contains 740 pounds of
digestible protein, 236 pounds of digestible carbohydrates and 172 pounds
of digestible fat. There is not a farm in the south which is not, relatively
speaking, well supplied with an abundance of those food elements known
as carbohydrates and fat, 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 of flesh, the maintenance of nervous energy,
and the proper development of muscles, skin, ligament, horn, hair and
milk. Naturally, protein Is a high-priced and difficult element to obtain.
Were it not essential for the proper maintenance of live slock, tho 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, as
wo all know, are not followed on many of our farms.
Most Protein At Lowest Cost
The auestlon therefore resolves Itself Into what, the farmer cah purchase
that will give him the largost possible supply of protein at tho lowest rela
tive C0Bt. It appears from the figures quoted that a ton of choice cotton
seed meal contains almost throe times aa much protein aa a ton of seed.
It is true, it contains only about half aa much carbohydrates and fat as
the seed, but, aa already explained, these are not difficult or costly ele
ments to obtain. Hence, If cotton seed were as desirable a food to feed
to live stock os cotton seed meal, tho farmer would still have to feed three
tons of it to secure the same protein equivalent obtained from one ton of
choice meal. With cotton Beea selling at 335.00 a ton, tlie farmer would
have to invest 5105.00 to obtain the protein equivalent In one ton of meal
which will not cost him more than 535.00. In addition he will have wasted
a great deal of fat and energy to no purpose, and will he poorer as the
result of this practice by 370.00.
Prom the standpoint of the maintenance of animals, there Is no reason
why cotton soed should be kept on the farm. In fact, the large quantity
of oil it contains makes its use as a foodstuff undesirable, a fact which
has been pointed out over and over again. Moreover, the seed does not
combine with satisfaction with the great variety of foodstuffs available
on the averago farm. On the other hand, the meal can be combined with
any of these foodstuffs with advantage, and when fed to live stock the
S eater part of its plant food content Is voided, and the manure, if properly
ken care of, as It can and should be, becomes a source for enriching the
lands of the farm, and therefore maintaining their fertility. It is true the'
average farmer may think that the seed contain some plant food, and in
this he is right, but never by any stretch of the imagination can the fer
tilizer content of the seed be made to approximate more than half the
value of tho plant'food content of a ton of meal.
Cotton 8eed Meal Greatly Preferred
These facts seem to make it clear that cotton seed 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 of live stock we maintain
in the largest numbers. From any point of view, the retention of the seed
on the farm can only be accomplished under existing conditions at a
monetary loss to the owner, and the deprivation of the world of a human
food material in the form of cotton seed oil which is of the greatest im
portance to our rapidly increasing population and the return of which
to the soil through the use of seed directly as fertilizer a detriment and
mot a benefit.
