value Of $50. If three-fourths Of the
original fertilizer is saved and return

en- larger per cent Of the plant food in
meal could be saved; and, estimating
that rs per cent. of the meal is used

What We Lose by Not Feeding Our
COttOnsecd Meal.

What, then, is the farm value of a
ton Of cOttonseed? With corn at 60
cents bushel. ton of cottonseed is
worth $25 as feed. When fed, its fer
tilizer value in stable manue may be
as high as 80 per cent. of the original
fertilizer value of the seed. That is,
il all the solid and liquid manure
were saved. 80 cents worth of manure
would he obtained from every dollars
worth of fertilizer in the seed fed. If
the fertilizer value of the seed were
SIS, the fertilizer value of all the
droppings, II saved, would be about
$3.50; but only three-fourths the
fertilizer is saved in the manure-anj
it will require better care than we are
now giving our stable manure to save
that much.-the fertilizer value of the
manure from ton of seed will still
be $11.25. On this basis. therefore,
a ton OF seed. when fed. may be worth
$11.25 plus $25.00, or $36.25. This Is
at least $11.25 more than we now get
for a ton Of seed, sold to the mills or
used direct as fertilizer. Assuming
that 90 per cent of the seed are sold
to the oil mills, or used direct as fer
tilizer, this on the low feed value Of
90 1-2 cents a bushel, means a total
annual loss Of at least $20,604.315 to
the States Of North Carolina, South
Carolina and Georgia from their fail
ure to feed this farm product to live
stock.
One pound of cottonseed meal is
worth one and a half pounds Of seed
for feeding purposes; hence, a ton of
seed is about equal In value to 1850
pounds OF meal. To pay for the haul
ing and other trouble connected with
the exchange. and because the seed
are worth 1t to the mills, the farmer
should not receive less than $500
pounds of cottonseed meal for ton
Of seed, and some get more.
II ton Of cottonseed meal be used
