but fortunately for the cotton planter.
their are still living few old planters Of
the olden time, who fertilized their crOps
with cotton-seed before cotton-seed oil or
meal was ever made. They found il The
best fertilizer they ever used, and Al
though they are not prepared to dispute
the assertions of the mill men that = The

they are satisfied that il does no harm.
and they propose to continue to fertilixe
their lands with raw eoston-seed until
they are offered fair equivalent in cot
