Cotton Seed Versus Cotton Meal

From the number Of inquiries recently
received on tbs subject OF cotton seed end
their value as a fertilizer compared with
cotton seed meal we conclude hat many
farmers are contemplating the use OF the
cotton seed as fertilizer. They seem TO
think that this course is IN line WITH the
general pol.or OF relying rs far as practical
uie on borne resources and buying 81 little
as possible This general policy IS GER
tainIy the correct one. but toere are Inn
itations and notifications wEich must be
observed in its application to the cctuti
conditions Because a farmer has produced
an abundant supply of Indian corn ana
no wheat, or q full supply of strip, but no
SUGAR. is no good reason why be should
deny his family wheat biscuit or that he
should use "long sweetenlng" for his COT
fee. Tho common sense policy would DO

for wheat and some of his sirup for snort

but IL ie the most ordinary K nd OF common
sense and is practiced by reariy every
farmer. The game prlrcipie APPLIED TO the
Use Of cotton seed will be for the adVan-

made on a fair basis.
