Flo\ir From Cotton
Seed
Washington, April 17.—With
the cost of living constantly going
up, to the annoyance of every
class of citizens, from the economi¬
cal housewife and the man-who-
pays-the-bills, to the candidate
for office who must meet the charge
as a political issue, the south has
come forward with a new food
product as a partial solution of the
living problem—cotton seed flour.
The family tree of the cotton
plant is almost as pretentious as
that of Standard Oil, and has as
many branches. The extent of
cotton’s dominion is bound by
Oriental rugs atone end, and auto¬
mobile tires at the other. It be¬
comes part of the clothing of
every civilized man. It masquer¬
ades very successfully as silk in
one fabric and wool in another,
and is cheaper than either.
RISE CF COTTON SEED.
Under the genius of American
inventive and technical skill, cot¬
ton seed has risen from the posi¬
tion of piles of expensive refuse
around cotton gins, to a position
where it is almost as valuable as
the lint itself. The oil is pressed
out and becomes the basis of pure
soaps and lards, it is shipped
abroad and returned in highly re¬
fined shape as “pure olive oil;”
the hulls and cotton seed meal
have been proven one of the best
and cheapest known feed for stock
and as a fertilizer. Technical ex¬
perts are endeavoring to perfect a
paper made from the cotton stalk.
Texas has now come forward
with the claim that cotton seed is
not alone valuable as supplying a
feed for stock, but as an article of
human feed. And the aggressive
Texans have proceeded to prove it.
In a burst of enthusiasm it is in¬
troduced as “the most delicious,
most nutritious, most palatable,
and most easily digested food ever
known. Even more valuable still,
it is said to be cheap and to cost
Four lots in first ward from

TEXAS ENTHUSIASTIC.
At present it is not on the market
to any great extent, but is being
manufactured in Texas, and the
people of that state are preparing
to push it everywhere. Members
of the Texas delegation have in¬
troduced it in Washington and a
supply of delicious fruit cake,
gingerbread and ginger snaps
made from cotton seed Hour were
recently sent to Secretary of War
Dickerson and discussed at a meet¬
ing of President Taft’s cabinet.
The state of Texas lias taken up
the subject and is conducting ex¬
tensive experiments, and State
Chemist G. S. Traps has just an¬
nounced the result of his analysis
showing the chemical composi¬
tion of the Hour. The flour, he
shows, has properties more like
those of meat than of wheat Hour,
and supplies the same amount of
nourishment at much less cost.
RELATING VALUE OF FOODS.
The nutritive value of any food
is measured by the amount of pro¬
tein, fats, and carbohydrates con¬
tained in it. The most valuable of
these is protein, the nitrogen-con¬
taining albumen-like substance
similar in character to the white
of an egg. This is the kind of
food that produces flesh and bone,
not fat. Lean meat and the white
of an egg are almost pure protein.
Cotton seed flour, it is claimed,
contains four times the protein
contained in eggs, and almost as
much fat, and is twice as valueless
as meat as a muscle-building food.
The following table has been
prepared showing the protein and
fat contents of various articles of
food, as compared with the new
cotton seed flour:

BODES GOOD FOR FARMER.
The discovery of the fact that
cotton seed may be utilized in the
manufacture of a highly nutritious
flour is of inestimable value to the
cotton-producing states. Every
new use found for the cotton plant
increases its value.
It is said that the seed from one
bale of cotton will produce as much
oleomargarine, or“poor man’s but¬
ter,” as two line sows will produce
in a year. One acre of ground will
produce a bale of cotton, while
many times that much is required
for grazing each head of cattle.
A few years ago cotton seed was
worth only 6 or 10 cents per bushel.
The price now ranges from 45 to 50
cents per bushel, and the prospects
arc that it will increase rapidly.
A bale of cotton weighing 1.000
pounds will uroduce 500 pounds of
lint, worth about §75 at present
market quotations, and the rest is
seed. A ton of seed will bring
about $10 or $17.
Cotton producers arc deeply in¬
terested in the oleomargarine law,
and are advocating the proprosed
change in the laws which levy a
uniform tax on all oleo of 2 cents
a pound. The law now taxes un¬
colored oleo one-half cent per
pound, and colored oleo is taxed 10
cents a pound.
