Cost of Living.
LINCOLN, NEBR., July s.—To do
their part in reducing the high cost
of living 200 Nebraska farmers have
pledged themselves to devote their
time, talents and energies to increas
ing the production of beef cattle and
to follow the instructions of the uni
versity experiment station, which has
for several years made a special study
of raising cattle for beef by what it
believes to be the best methods.
“The fact that the population o 2
the country is increasing at an aver
age of 20 per cent every ten years,
while beef cattle are decreasing 7 per
cent, has aroused the nation to a real
ization that the high cost of living
can never be lowered until this state
of affairs is mended, and that the
farmers are responsible for the work
Is Just as apparent as that the pres
ent conditions exist," said Dean Bur
nett, addressing the farmers.

of lots has been sold by the L. P.
Bottenfield Real Estate Agency,
which Is handling the property for
W. W. Kirkpatrick. The total of lots
in the subdivision is 237.
Clairemont Park consists of 70
acres and is known as the old Ram
speck place. It is within three blocks
of Ponce DeLeon Avenue and the De-
Kalb County courthouse. About
$40,000 is being spent on streets,
sidewalks, sewers, water and other

center of it.
The Bottenfield agency reports the

Home-Builders Busy
In Sumter County
AMERICUS. GA., July s.—From
the record of building permits kept
by the municipal government it has
been learned that this is the bulslest
summer ever known in Americus in
the construction of homes and other
buildings. Contractors here are una
ble to supply the demands of those
who wish construction work done,
and a number of builders have post
poned giving out their contracts un
til the contractors are able to de
vote time to them.
The largest number of buildings
which are going up are residences,
since the need of these has been felt
here keenly for years. The excep
tionally large number of residences
and apartment houses being built Is
accounted for by the fact that until
the adequate and modern water and
sewer systems were enlarged, the
construction of homes was very much
delayed. Now the builders are mak
ing up for lost time by crowding and
overworking the contractors.
It is the purpose of those who
own real estate and are in position
to build houses to construct a suffi
cient number of attractive homes so
that it can not be said of Americus
that people were compelled to leave
the city on account of thelh inability
to secure homes. The building move
ment in progress here bids fair to
produce results that will make Amer
icus a city where homes are as nu
merous as the demand for them is
strong.

cludes several thousand acres, she
supervises the work thoroughly and
would not give it up, though she has
a splendid home in Americus in addi
tion to the old colonial residence on
her country estate.
Mrs. Clay has two agents directly
In charge of the work on her planta

the work. There is hardly a day in
the year that she does not visit her

on these trips she gives directions for

every modern convenience and as
comfortable as her home in the city.

Cotton Seed Meal a Southern Asset
Poorly Appreciated by Southern Farmer
Affords One of the South’s Greatest Advantages in Livestock Rais
ing. Is Rich in Plant Food Content and Lends Itself Admirably
to Soil Fertility.
It is time for an ode to the golden
meal similar to Timrod’s to the cotton
boll. Lurking in the heart of the
fuzzy little seed are wonders incredi
ble. Presto! They troop upon the
stage at command of the genius of
invention. Now, it is a dainty, elusive
and rare perfume; now it is a shim
mering liquid that parades as olive
oil and defies* the epicure to say it is
not; now it is enthroned in snowy
whiteness in the frying pan, now it
Is the Jersey’s golden butter —but this
isn’t the ode. This is intended to be
a very practical discussion, entitled
“How the South turns its cotton seed
over to others to go to the trouble of
extracting some several millions
therefrom, and how the Southern
farmer could tap the golden stream
without a worry.”
The South gets about $16,000,000 for
its crop of cotton seed, but if it got
what the ultimate consumer pays for
it in its various manufactured forms
it would get a hundred million dol
lars. The South does not know all of
the tricks of cotton seed transforma
tion. The painstaking, delving, plod
ding German has unearthed several
cotton seed gold mines which he has
securely staked. Here the production
of swineless lard and a few other
edibles more or less known to the
public has kept the cotton seed from
expatriating the greater part of its
resources.
Where the Farmer Comes In.
But to the farmer who grows the
cotton, that produces the seed, that
the mill grinds and the wonder work
ers transform, it is up to him to get
his fertilizer from it and something
more.
A ton of cotton seed contains 58.8
pounds of nitrogen. 21 pounds of
phosphoric acid. 31.6 pounds of pot
ash. Convert the seed into meal and
a ton of meal will have more than
twice as much nitrogen as a ton of
seed, nearly three times as much
phosphoric acid and considerably
more potash.
From 40 to 50 gallons of oil can be
obtained from a ton of cotton seed.
The oil is not needed for feed or fer
tilizer. It is, therefore, a produetthat
should go on to the manufacturer to
he produced into various forms for
the benefit of mankind. The farmer
should look to the residue of the seed
after the oil has been extracted as a
further source of revenue.
A ton of cotton seed meal has plant
food constituents or fertilizer values’
worth $24.26 per ton. The question Is.
How shall this meal be applied with
greatest benefit to the farmer? Shall
he apply it direct as a fertilizer or
shall he feed it to live stock and sfp
ply the manure as fertilizer?
Feed it.
That cotton seed meal takes the
place of corn in an animal’s ration
and can be bought In the South and
be fed in the corn belt of the West
cheaper than corn has been demon
strated by many years of practice. If
cotton seed meal can be shipped to
the West and North and fed success
fully, what ought the South not gain
by feeding it at home?
But—lt is a shame to say it—the
Southern farmer is not feeding the
cotton seed meal, but he is selling it
to the Western farmer and is buying
from the Weatern farmer corn to feed.
Penny wise and pound foolish! It is
not to be explained upon any other
basis than that the Southern farmer
has not learned how to feed the meal,
generally speaking, of course. There
are farmers feeding meal in the
Peanut Shortage Coming;
Chance for Georgia Farms
High Prices Now Paid for “Goobers” May Make
Them Good Money Crop.
Although peanut raising has ad
vanced greatly in recent years, the
demand for peanuts has increased
even faster, and dealers say that there
is danger of a complete exhaustion of
the present supply* before this year’s
crop is harvested. In other years,
when the domestic crop has been
short, peanuts have been Imported
from Spain. Recent cable advices,
however, have been to the effect that
Spain has no peanuts to export this
year.
Spanish peanuts now sell at whole
sale for 10 1-4 cents a pound, and Vir
ginia peanuts at 7 cents a pound.
These are higher prices than have
ever been known before. Last fall
Spanish peanuts went above 6 1-4
cents, and other varieties above 5 1-2
cents, these figures causing New York
operators to assert that the prices
were too high, and that a sharp de
cline was bound to follow. Another
year's showing of the vast increase in
the consumption of peanuts in this
country, however, has made it appar
ent that the peanut is destined to be
come one of the great staples of the
country.
Leading dealers have recently been
exploring areas adapted to peanut cul-

South, but few, comparatively speak
ing.
Nothing stands in the way of feed
ing cotton seed meal in the South.
Nothing in the climate forbids it. The
food requirements of live stock do
not forbid it. In fact, whenever cot
ton seed meal has been properly fed
in the South it has always been with
success.
Helps to Make Stock Profitable.
The unbeliever might query:
"What is the use of feeding cotton
seed meal in the South if cattle can
not be raised in competition with the
West?"
Cattle can be raised in the South
in competition with the West, but,
of course, cotton seed meal alone will
not account for it. Without the silo,
without making use of the long graz
ing season, without using the double
cropping possibilities of a long grow
ing season, and without making the
best use of cheap cotton seed meal,
there is no use to try to compete w’ith
the West in beef production. By mak
ing' use of the advantages offered,
however, nothing whatever can put
the South in second place.
In dairying, where the profits are
larger than in the growing of beef,
these advantages count for even more
in the South than elsewhere.
The live stock to which to feed
cotton seed meal and the willingness
of the farmer to feed cotton seed
meal are. of course, two very im
portant essentials. One can not raise
cotton alone and make a success of
growing live stock on the side by buy
ing the feed supplies. The Southern
farmer must raise corn, wheat, oats,
peas, clover, cottorf, fill a silo and
have Bermuda pasture, if he is go
ing to grow live stock successfully.
Indeed agricultural progress in the
South awaits diversified farming.
Cattle can not be raised without
growing the feed crops. The feed
crops can not be used to best ad
vantage without cattle on the place.
Permanent upbuilding of the fertility
of soil can not be accomplished with
out cattle, diversity of crops and crop
rotation. That is the circuit which
agricultural prosperity travels. Thus
it will be seen that cotton seed meal
has an important role to play in the
progress of Southern farming.
How It Affords Cheap Food Supply,
In feeding cattle four things are of
importance to the farmer: Dry mat
ter, digestible protein, digestible car
bohydrates and digestible fat Dry
matter is cheap enough and easy
enough to get in the form of a va
riety of “roughness." Protein is dif
ferent. It is the most expensive but
very essential, going chiefly to build
ing up nerves and tissues. In this
element cotton seed meal stands far
ahead of other feeds ordinarily used
in this country. Carbohydrates build
the fires, as it were, under the boiler
in heating up the animal and sup
plying it with energy. They are
abundant in most forms of feed
raised on the farm. Being easy to get
and abundant, carbohydrates are,
therefore, comparatively inexpensive.
Fat is another one of the expensive
food elements and also very import
ant for building body fat It can also
take the place of carbohydrates as a
source of energy and heat. Here
again cotton seed meal comes to the
fore. It excels in fat contents.
In three particularscotton seed meal
excels—dry matter, protein and fats,
when compared to corn, corn bran,
wheat bran, wheat middlings, rice
bran and oats The rank of cotton
seed meal with some of the leading
concentrates is given in the follow
ing table:
ture. and urging farmers to get out
peanut crops. The probability of an
overproduction at any time appears to
be very small.
The nuts can be raised successfully
in parts of New Jersey, and farmers
there are taking a lively interest in
the subject.
The peanut is easily cultivated, and
singularly free from disease and in
sect pests. There are production rec
ords of 200 bushels an acre of the
Spanish variety, while the general
output from Virginia avej-ages from
70 to 90 bushels an acre. The Vir
ginia peanut is the better of the two
Georgia farmers very probably
would find profit in raising peanut’s
for market, in the opinion of the State
Commissioner of Agriculture.
The last census report showed
Georgia's crop for a year as 2,569 787
bushels. raised on 160,317 acres
Brook? County led, with an estimated
3ba,390 bushels. Thomas. Decatur
Grady. Colquitt and Berrien Counties
also planted extensively in peanuts
These peanuts are not grown for
market, but for fattening hogs. The
hogs are allowed to root in the fields
for the nuts, after the vines have been
cut off for the valuable hay.
The estimated average yield is 25
bushels an acre. 25 pounds to the
bushel. At a price of 6 cents a pound
a farmer could get $37.50 per acre for
the nuts, besides raising a good cron
of hay.
In Louisiana and Mississippi, where
the boll weevil hag discouraged the
planting of cotton, the farmers are
turning to peanuts, and with consid
erable success.
Increasing commercial importance
of the peanut, however, may vet make
it a money crop in Georgia.

Value as Fertilizer When Fed.
Having determined the unques
tioned value of the good 'ontents of
cotton-seed meal, how about its value
as fertilizer when fed to animals'?
Here it is: A ton of cotton-seed meal
contains 135.8 pounds of nitrogen, 57.6
pounds of phosphoric acid and 17.4
pounds of potash. Here again cot
ton-seed tneal shines as compared,
with corn, corn bran, wheat bran,
wheat middlings, rice bran and oats.
None of them are in the class with
cotton-seed meal in nitrogen, the
most expensive of all plant food. The
following table will show the relative
standing:
Nitro- Phos. Pot-
Name. gen. Acid. ash.
Corn 36.4 14.0 8.0

Rice bran 14.2 5.8 4 8
Oats 412 16.4 12.4
Cotton-seed meal .135.8 57.6 17.4
From this it can be readily seen
that the droppings of cattle fed on
cotton seed meal will afford the most
economic source of nitrogen when
compared with other foods. Since
about 75 per cent of nitrogen con
sumed by live stock In the form of
food may be returned to the soil In
the form of manure, it will be ob
served how inexpensively cotton seed
meal can be made to put nitrogen in
the soil.
Incidentally it may here be observed
that 25 per cent of the nitrogen plant
food in the cotton seed meal can be
used to fatten an animal and the bal
ance returned to the soil whence
It came, to feed other plants. Is it
not better to use the 25 per cent in
feeding live stock than in returning it
directly to the soil in the form of
meal fertilizer?
The 25 per cent of nitrogen of the
total content of the food, when fed
to animals, gives ample return, but
probably in no way more than in milk
production. Always where Southern
dairymen have used cotton seed meal
better returns were recetvd. In feed
ing beef cattle, cotton seed meal and
silage are by all odds the cheapest
combination of a ration.
In What Quantities to Feed.
The average ration fed to work an
imals In the South is 14 pounds of
corn and 12 pounds of mixed hay per
day per 1,000 live weight. It is de
ficient In protein. Add two pounds of
cotton seed meal to the ration and we
have nearly the correct standard. It
will not hurt the mule or horse. It
simply affords him what he needs and
his system craves. Mix 900 pounds
of corn, 750 pounds of oats and -I 1 ')
pounds of cotton seed meal and 3*)J
pounds of wheat bran and feed about
15 pounds Ter day per 1,000 live
weight of horse or mule doing hard
work, and good results will follow.
The 15 pounds, of course, should be
divided into three parts and fed morn
ing. noon and night along with mixed
hay or stover.
Another convenient combination is
1,500 pounds corn and cob meal and
300 pounds of cotton seed meal, to
be fed, of course, three times a day,
a total of 15 pounds per day, and
along with it roughness.
A mixture of nine parts corn and
one part cotton seed meal has been
fed to hogs to advantage at the Ala
bama station, reducing the cost of
gain per hundredweight from $7 or
$lO per day to $5 or $6. Its value in
feeding to dairy cattle has been men
tioned. From four to five pounds per
1,000 pounds live weight when a cow
is giving two gallons of milk per
day is recommended to be fed with
ordinary roughness. For beef produc
tion from 3 to 6 pounds of cotton
seed meal can be fed, depending upon
the size of the animal, along with
silage and roughness.
Important to South to Boost Meal.
It is curious W’ith all that has been
demonstrated of the feeling advant
age of cotton seed meal, the case
which has often been made in its fav
or in dairying and beef production, the
fertilizing value too clearly made
known to leave doubt, that there
should be those essaying to be agri
cultural leaders who, on every occa
sion choose to speaksoftiy in advocacy
of this vital resource of the South
cotton seed meal. There are not
many. They do not openly oppose.
They dare not In the face of a world
of facts. Their purposes are con
cealed and doubtless few are deceived.
It is unfortunate. however, when
there is so much to be done to educate
the Southern farmer to the vast bene
fits to be derived by the largest pos
sible use of cotton seed, that.there
should be any one standing around
with fingers crossed and ’’allowing'’
that it is a good thing for the cotton
seed crushers. Os course, it is a good
thing for the cotton seed crushers.
Why should these progressive South
ern men not have a good thlrg if
there are any coming along? Why
should not everybody wish not only
that the cotton seed crushers should
get something out of cotton seer meal
but that the Southern farmer
should also get something good out
of it? What excuse is there for any
body living In the South not boosting
the uses of cotton seed meal for every
cent that the.South can get out of it?
Is anybody else more entitled to it?
The feeding of cotton seed meal in
the South does not have to be boosted
In order to provide a market for cot
ton seed meal. Germany, Sweeden,
Norway, Denmark, Holland,
France and practically the whole*
civilized world is buying cotton seed
products for feeding purposes. The
North Is a large consumer. The cot
ton seed crusher can get along with
out the South, but the South win be
foolish to try to get along without
getting every cent it can out of cot
ton seed tneal as a teed tor animals.
