ANALYSIS OF COTTON SEED,
Important ani Interesting; Deduc¬
tions oi'State Chemist.
Dovedale, Ga., March 1,1900.
To Commissioner of Agriculture, At
lauta, Ga.:
Dear Sir—W ill you kindly toll me
the nmuberof poundso: nitrogen, phos¬
phoric acid aud potash contained in a
ton of cotton seed, and in a ton of cot
ton seed meal and the price Of-same per
ton. I wane to know it a farmer can
afford to eeii seed at 22 corns per pound
aud bny meal at P er ton an,i hanl
h 5 Inilea . colonel Redding says
“the farmer who uses cotton seed as a
fertilizer is acting Tory much against
his own interest.’’ I want to do some
figuring for myself. Yours truly,
J. D. My rick.
Atlanta, March 3, 1900.
To Mr. J. D. Myrick; Dovedale, Gj.:
Dear Sn:—Your letter of March 1
received. The state chemist informs
mo that a ton of cotton seed on an av
ora 8 e contains
62.0 lbs. nitrogen at 13%c per lb......$S 34
25.4 lbs. phos. acid at 'i x / t c per lb b9
23.4 lbs. potash at 4%c per ib... sy
$10 12
Also that a ton of cotton seed xnaai
contains:
13b lbs. nitrogen .at 13bc per lb. $18 13
57.6 lbs. phos. acid at per lb 2 02
35.4 lbs. potash at 4/jc per lb.... , 1 50
Total valuation.................. $21 65
In other words, a ton of meal is worth
for manurial value alone $11 53, a ton
more than a ion of seed. At 22 cents
per bushel, counting 67 bushels to a
ton, your seed will bring you $14.74
a ton, leaving $4.62, which the manu¬
facturer has paid you for the oil over
and above the value of the fertilizing
elements, or at the rate of lift; cents a j
gallon for tile oil before it is pressed,
The oil has no fertilizing value what
ever, and in poiut of fact is a drawback,
retarding the decomposition of the seed
in the soil and rendering the manurial
matter m them less available. Row if
you are wise you will buy meal on that !
basis; buy your owa acid and potash
and mix them according to this formula:
Muriate of potash I
Acid phosphate... meal pounds '
Cottonseed . 28u pounds
Total. “■ r“ d *!
Or if you desire nse 100 poona, oi kanit
in place of 20 pounds of muriate of pot- i
ash. Some very successful farmers do
not think that too much to use peracre;
if you think it extravagant, use as much
as your judgment and circumstances
will au'horize. You would be still wiser
if you keep stock to feed the cottou
*eed meal to them and carefully save
all the manure, liquid aud solid; and
probably the bast way to do this is by
penning the cattle on the laud to be
manured until you figure that you have
fed them about 300 pounds of meal per
acre, and then move your pen to fresh
ground. Then whan you come to plant
this piece of ground in cotton, put on 200
or 300 pounds of acid phosphate and 20
pounds of muriate or (100 pounds kanit)
per acre, the ammouia having already
been put oa by the cattle. In this way
yea will »ot lose over 10 per cent of the
fertilizing matter it) the meal, and yon
will get all the flesh forming and fat
forming matter of your cottonseed meal
converted into beef, butter and milk.
Depend upon it my friend, this is the j
"royal road” to wealth and prosperity !
for the southern farmer, and those who
keep ia the ‘‘middle of the road” will
get there first and quickest.
