This meal at present prices is worth
81 80. the hulls are worth 50 90 and thu
oil at least s. 90, a total of $17. so.
These figures of course are the manu-
facturer's prices after the raw material
has been manipulated,
The question is though how much ia
shat eame ton Of cotton seed worth to
the farmer for fertilizer, or for feedQ
Should he go to the mill and pay 81 so
Cor the $50 pounds Of meal, then haul
it home, and it has really cost him
IS 30, allowing 81 90 for hauling, The
hulls mount 20 1000. and they are
worth as a fertilizer at least 81 SO,
when we take into &C ,ount the me
chanical effect as we'll as the chemical.
That run our values up to SO 90 Now
this 500 represents the value of the
ton Of cotton seed to be used as a fer
5ilizer.
OF course for this purpose the oil
does not come into the estimate as it
is Of no value as a fertil zer. This
product should be used as a food, and
let a milk cow, or a beef steer be your
factory. They will turn the oil into
animal fat, the meal into flesh and milk,
and the hulls will serve a useful part
especially as ''roughrCss." Thus our
home factory will util q every bit Of
the cotton aeed and the n from
the cattle will have nearly al much
fertility in it as the original feed stuff.
In other words. 2 900 pounds Of cot
ton seed on the farm will be worth at
least 80 90 for feed to beef or milk
animal, and the at a low est
mate 81 90, thus we get ST. 90 for our
ton of cotton seed and save hauling.
Whereas. il we sell to the mills at pres
emit high prices, we get only about
I'll so
The mill man takes out the oil and
sells the meal and hulls back to the
farmer for just a little less than what
he gave for the whole.
Let the farmer be sure Of n thing:
there is a shrewd business man at the
other end of the line who does all the
weighing both ways, and fixes the
prices both ways and he car be certain
that he will FIX the price so that he
will be able to declare a good dividend.
Now as to buy ing acid phosphate, l
would advise buying both acid phoF-
plate and some form of potash, and
would mix about as follows for the
average wheat land of our SAFE:
Qnstead of 800 pounds cotton seed
meal in this calculation, 2 900 pounds
whole cotton seed may be used and in

pay a farmer to haul seed TO the mill

the expectation of buying meal for fer
