Mr. Hall also urged all of the stu
dents to lend all of the support possi
ble to the debaters, and try to encour

will not be felt for long as there is
already a new one ordered.
“Interest seems to be divided at pres
ent as to whether the baseball squad
‘should continue practice, or whether
they should suspend entirely in favor
"of the track work. Of course this is 2
hard question to decide, as both of
these branches of athletics are impor
tant and necessary to a good and active
high school.’ However, the boys state
that in any event they will not carry
their baseball far enough to allow it
to interfere with the working of the
track team, but rather will try to divide
the work so as to produce an effic
ient squad in both branches of ath
fetics.
Work on the annual is beginning to
come in although they have not yet
let the contract for the printing of this
year’s Fitz-Hi-way. When the con
tract is let, the seniors expect to have
everything ready so that they will be
able to immediately turn over the copy
to the publisher, who will be expected
to put out the best annual which has
ever been on sale in Fitzgerald.

“LEADER OF QUALITY AND LOW PRICE”
COTTON SEED ,COTTON SEED
MEAL AND FERTILIZERS
- ;—-_-—- I
The Georgia Experiment Station has
received a number of inquires of late
in regard to the advisability of using
cotton seed in place of cotton seed’l
‘meal or commercial fertilizer, at the
present prices. 4 : \
In the following is given the aver
age attalyses of a number of samples
of cotton seed and cotton seed meal:
Cotton Seed-Meal: 6.00 per ct. Nitro
gen; 2.88 per ct. Phosphoric Acid and
1.77 per ct. Potash. »
Cotton Seed: 3.13 per ct. Nitrogen;
1.27 per ct. Phosphoric Acid; 1.17 per
ct. Potash.
In favor of cotton seed meal: 2.87
per ct. Nitrogen; 1.67 per ct. Phosphor
ic A\cid; .60 per ct. Potash. ;
It can be seen from this that cotton
seed meal has nearly two times the
amount of nitrogen and phosphoric
acid and about one and one-half the
amount of potash in it as has cotton;
seed. But this does not tell the whole
story. The cotton seed, is a carbo
hydrate and has no fertilizing value.
Its removal is an actual benefit as the
cotton seed meal has its elements in
a more readily available form, as the
oil in cotton seed prevents their rap
id decay. Also, cotton seed meal is
in a better form for mixing and hand
ling than cotton seed. It is generally
considered that two and one-thifM
times as much cotton seed as cotton
seed meal must be applied to an acre
of ground in order to obtain the same
effect.
The fertilizer market appears so
unstable at the time of writing this
article that it is difficult to set a
price on the various fertilizing ele-‘
ments. 'However, if the retail price of
16 per cent acid phosphate is taken at‘

a ton. -
It can be seen from this that with
cotton seed selling at $2500 a ton
that there is a loss of $B. a ton when
it is used as a fertilizer. Itstill pays
the cotton farmer to sell his cotton'
seed or exchange it for meal. As
cotton seed meal is chiefly valuable
as a fertilizer because of its nitrogen
content, its money" value as a ferti
lizer depends mainly upon the per
centage of nitrogen it contains and
‘the price of nitrogenous fertilizers.
‘With nitrate of soda selling at $60.00
a ton, or other nitrogen fertilizers at
an equivalent price and cotton seed
meal containing 6 per cent nifrogen
‘selling at $30.00 a ton, there is a
‘margin of $2.00 in favor of the cot
ton seed meal. However, if the ni
trate of soda should fall to less than
$55.00 a ton the use of cotton seed
meal as a fertilizér at $30.00 a ton
would be unprofitable. o
