COTTON SEED.

The Montgomery Advertiser prints
an interesting letter from G. E. Cren-
shaw regarding the great value of cot
ton seed to the farmers of the South.
Mr.. Crewshaw says:
I cannot agree with you that the
farmers gain anything by the sale of
his cotton seed. The present high price
given by the oil mills Is only for the
purpose of stimulating the disposition to
sell. The average prices for the last
five years has been IS per ton.
But no matter what the price may
be we can show from the testimony OF
all who do not sell their seed, that those
who do sell are losing instead of gain
Ing by such sale. At Leaf 80 per cent
of the substance of the cotton plant is
contained in the seed; and when none
of this or its equivalent is returned to
the soil, the land in few years be-
come exhausted and is scarcely worth
planting. Only the very richest lands
can stand such a strain, and even they
are injured by the process in the
amount of crop produced.
We can easily locate every man who
cuItivates upland and does not sell his
cotton seed by the crop he has grow
ing on his improved instead of exhaust
ed land. There is nothing in the world
equal to cotton seed in increasing the
crop and keeping up the fertility of
the land. I have had crop of oats
and also a crop of corn increased in
amount 100 per cent by the use of TWEEN
ty bushels of seed per acre. This in
crease in the oat crop was IS per acre
and In the corn corp $40 per acre while
the twenty bushels of seed was only
S. at the present high price. The
farmer can, therefore, on his uplands
gain from SO to S. per acre in oats or
corn, and those who are using their
seed on the cotton crop will say that
the increase is still greater. BY so doing
he is at the same time keeping up the
fertility of his land. I think that the
oil mills instead of a benefit to the
farmer has been an injury by enticing
him to part with the most valuable
means of improving his crops and land.
It is deplorable to look at the unpro-
ductive lands all over the State which
has become such since the oil mills be-
gan operation.
The amount of benefit to Montgom-
cry in the traffic. in cotton seed is a
small matter when compared to the
loss it brings on the farmers. And
Montgomery would be more substan-
TALLY benefited by the prosperity of the
farmers and the improvement of their
lands.

what is known as the French GA, and Is
parallel with the same course In the Har-
