eY.Produets Of cotton Seed.


r. H. H., Sutton. Ga.-Answer the fol-
lowing Questions: How many gallons of
oil are there In one ton Of short staple
cotton seed, and what does one gallon of
oil weigh. What is the difference between
the feeding value Of one ton of green cot
ton seed, and one ton of the seed with
the oil extracted, leaving the meal and
hulls? Please answer through The Jour
nal.
Answer; The average yield Of oil from
a ton of green seed will run from 81 to
Al gallons owing to the size of the seed
and their condition when pressed at the
mill. Good dry seed of the big Bell varie-
ty nearly always turns out 40 to Al gal
Ions OF oil The oil weighs about pounds
to the gallon. The best experiments yet
made to determine the relative feeding
value of green seed to cattle in comparison
with meal and hulls, has so far resulted in
determining that one pound OF meal is
worth as much for feeding as one and a
half pounds OF green seed. In other words
1000 pounds of meal will put on as much
flesh and fat as 1,500 pounds of sound green
seed. for 1000 pounds Of meal for feeding
purposes. II anything the green seed are
worth little more for feeding than the
averages here given, but the amounts will
answer for a basis. The only trouble with
feeding green seed Is, that they put on
fat faster than the animal can take on
flesh and muscle comparatively. but for
a short time feeding there is no food in
the world that win fatten cattle faster
than good sound dry seed. In exchanging
seed for meal for the purposes here given
you should base the exchange on the line
indicated, else you will suffer from the
exchange.

Please give me what information you
can on the subject for 1 am interested in
building up old lands.
Ans: The quickest way to build up
worn lands, which have grown thin by
long cultivation IN clean crops, is to be-
gin a system OF diversified culture, and
SOW them down partly in peas or clover
each year. Cowpeas will render fertile
poor lands and do Il better and quicker
than anything else. You can accomplish
a great deal by deep blowing Turn the
soil about four inches the first year, and
then subsoil as deep as you can In the
same furrow. Harrow the field broadcast
with disc or iron-tooth harrow to pull
veriDe the sofl, before the top surface
hardens. In this way you can safely use
800 pounds Of commercial fertilizers per
acre the first year under the cotton, with
out fear OF burning unless you have an
unusual drought in August or July. The
second year turn the land deeper.

was away from home during August.
September has been very unfavorable for
cotton crop Improvement In North Texas.
The short crop will be cut much shorter
should we have killing frost during Oc-
tober. It seems that rule among cotton
growers generally is, that when the crop is
short-it's no use fooling with 1t. regard
less Of reports or advice-the thing to do
Is 70 get II out and of the farms as fast
as possible. Not since I have been no
ticing cotton crops and crop movement
I have known opinions so one-sided
about cotton crop. as there is about
this crop. NO bear, either foreign or do
nestle, has been bold enough to estimate
the crop equal to last years, and yet
there has been pickea and marketed more
cotton during September than ever before.
hope during the meeting at Macon Of
the Farmers Congress-, you will have an
opportunity to interest the delegates from
the southern states in the Importance Of
getting growers sufficiently educated and
interested In their own interest that by
mex N,season they will know at least the
importance OF slow movement.
Compared with the reverse, had there
been only as much unloaded the past
month as during September last year. pro-
ducers would have got not less than 10
cents for all sold, and about the only

HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF

students of Montpeli II Seminary, with
the assistance no doubt Of some noted
journalist, endeavored to whitewash

one referred to can do that dirty

such we are informed is the course at
Montpelier. Freedman or slave, the
great Barre ball magnates would no
doubt be pleased to look them over for
pointers.
1t is a true saying that "The wick.
ed flee when no man pursueth," but
they usually strike up livelier gait
when the devil is after them, hence
this attempt at whitewashing referred
to above.
The article charges completely on
the part of Goddard in trying to pre-.
vail upon Mr.. MCGEE to break bis
contract and enter Goddard. Now it
/ is only justice to any student or teach
er at Goddard, who has at any time
talked with Mr.. MCGEE to say that
MCGEE has been the wrong party right
along, and gave them atGoddard to un-
derstand that he desired and preferred
to 90 there on more than one occasion
and in the interests Of clean sport it
was only natural that Goddard would
be pleased to have him come.

free advice, the author of that epistle
from Montpelier would do we'll to
