WOMF.THIMj A Hot T ( OTTtItHKBB. In the Hepumher number of the Forum Mr Edward L Johnson make* raw atata m* nts about cottonseed that will be sur prising even lo thosa who have some ac quaintance with th* cotlonaoed crop. When tt ta recalled that It bat been hut a few year*. < omparatlvely. alnce cotton seed wa* regarded aa a waste product. It eem* a little strange to be comp.*ring the cottonseed crop to the wheat crop. In estimating the value of the cotton crop It la r.ot often renumbered that the cot tonseed crop has a value that Is approach ing that of the cotton crop. Of course every bushel of cottonseed I* now saved, and made profitable In on* way and another, but the time la coming when greater profit will be got out of the wttonaeed crop New use* ar# being found for tha product* of oottoneeed, and It I* reaconable to assume that cotton ced will tnrreane In value a* ll* uses multi ply. Mr. Johnson. In making his compari sons of cottonseed with wheal, takes the analysts wnich has been made of *w<‘h of the two gralna at agricultural experiment station* The value of the food compo nent* of I*9 pounds of wheat and M 9 pound* of cottonseed Is stated by him to be as follows: Farhohy- Proteln dratea. Pat. Value. Wheat 11 Iff 73 99 2 0* *1 O' Colton seed 17.67 lo 62 30 1* i *> A statement that Mr Johnson make* Is. that there ere five-nevenths as many bushels of cottonseed a* there ere of wheat raised In this country, amt that the average number of bushels of cotton seed raised to the acre ia greater than the average number of bushels of wheat. His figures are as follows: Yield per Acres. Bushels. Acre Wheat 39.4gr>nOi 539.0110.900 13 43 |i Cotton seat! ...24.si..v*> 33,2t>1,wi0 14# hu Tlie plain Inference from the foregoing Is that the cottonseed crop. In the course of a very few years, will he as great In voluma- a* the wheat crop of thl* coun try. The wheat crop cannot be increased very much more. while the cotton crop can be greatly Increased. In fact It will Increase In proportkwi as the demand for It imCease*. The time may not be very far distant, therefore, when the cot tonseed crop will be of a# great vglue as the wheat crop. ll may be' that roots from Dewey's ship- did not riddle and teur to pieces every ship of the Hiwnlah fleet at Ma nila It may he true that some of the rhlps tvere scuttled and sunk by the H|sm an<i* That, however, would not change )he fact (hat faewey's fleet whipped them. .I'd It handsomely, and had every one of them out of action.
