Dissa tisfsction is expressed today by

in Withdrawing from the movement for

statement Is made freely, and IS borne
out by evidence which is at least strong

drawaI because they believed the pro-
posed society might operate 20 their
disadvantage
These interests are believed to be the
liquor dealers and some of the public
service companies.
Among those who think they have
discerned jockeying in Tuesdays meet

language today, BY many members, that
these special interests have transgTess-

The second IS the fact that within e

-------- Feed More Cotton Seed Meal,

Corn is good horse feed when used N th certain other feeds that will SUD- pl' the nutrient, protein, in which corn is deficient. To supply this detic- fen Y We have the richest and cheapest feed known today, and yet, through prejudice, habit, ignorance or careless ness, We parsistently refuse to use this Southern feeding stuff in the feeding Of our horses and mules We refer to cottonseed meal. Every horse and mule now receiyeng If pounds of corn a day should have that amount reduced at least pounds, and pounds of cotton seed meal, or probably what is better cottonseed cake, substituted. It is established beyond doubt. both through scientific considerations and by actual practice, that 9 pounds of corn and 3 pounds of cottonseed meal will give better results than II pounds tcorn, especially when the long forage is corn fodder or any of the grass hays. The extra trouble of feeding the cottonseed meal which is probably the true reason for our failure to use it, would be we'll paid for in the increased value of the manure; and the saving which would result in the cost of feeding the horses and mules of the South, with corn at 50 cents a bushel and cottonseed meal at $50 a ton would amount to over s20. 0oo.
