COTTON SEED VS.. COTTON MEAL.
G. G. W, Wooster, Cal have cotton
seed which l expect to use on my farm
next year | want to know which would
pay me the better, TO use my seed with
acid or swap seed FOR cotton seed meal.
The Woodbury. oil mill will exchange
200 pounds Of meal for one ton % seed
| Which would pay me the better next
year. one ton Of seed with acid or 200
pounds of meal with acid9
Answer have quite often replied 10
this question in this way. The oil CON
tanned in one ton Of seed Is OF no value
rs fertilizer but Is WORTH in The mar
ket not less than $40 The hlllls contain
bat a small amount Of plant food-not
more than So worth. even If In am inn

Is.
Of cotton seed meal are full equivalent in
ferlHzing value To one ton OF whole
seed SO then. Il YOU can get 200
pounds OF meal in exchange for ten

OF meal 10 set off against the cost Of

meal 1t Is 4 simple problem that any
man can solve Tor himself in Il moment.
whether he can do the hauling for the
200 pounds OF meal (say S4.Ao). The
answer 10 your last question is clear, be
cause the 200 pounds OF meal arc
worth just so per cent more as fertil-
izer or an ingredient or fertilizer,
than a ton Of seed With the 200
pounds Of meal mix about 100 pounds
