On account of the high price for cot
ton seed, and the limited time the
mills allow for delivery, the farmers
are fast getting clear of their seed, but
in a short while they will be like the
fellow who got drunk on wine at a party
and felt bad to realize when all
was over "what difference IN the
morning. The prices for the past
few DAYS were very tempting, but when
it is considered that meal will be based
on the high price paid for SEED for a
few days, and not on the low price palo
for the bulk bought by the mills, the
raise is not so tempting after all. Fhe
man who sells his seed at 80 cents, per
bushel on scales that weigh l6 ounces
to the pound is really getting a hne
price, if he believes the meal is better
fertilizer, but if he has to pay $50 per
ton for the meal then we do not see
ANYTHING fancy about the price OF SEED,
anyway if you will swap seed for meal,
in order to avoid mistakes it IS well
that both seed and meal be weighed on
the same scales. Then people could
not 90 off and complain of the selling,
and buying scales at the mills, being
different.
