UTILIZE COTTON SEED
Manurial Value of Product Is
Often Overlooked.
Plant Food In Average Ton Estimated
to Be Worth S23.7o--Goes Hand
In Hand With Lesuminous
Crops Furnishing Nttrogens.

By DIR. GEORGES TRAPS. Texas Ex-
pertinent Station)
In discussing the ways In which the
value Of cotton products may be util.
lied to the utmost, the value of the
manure from animals fed on cotton
seed meal must not be neglected,
though 1t is too often dIsregarded.
In most northern states, cotton seed
meal is purchased for feeding with the
full knowledge that II has a high ma.
burial value. Hence the manure from
1t is saved very carefully, and the
feeder obtains double use; first as a
feeding stuff, then as q nure He
can therefore afford to pay a higher
price than many OF his southern broth
ers, who realize only on the feeding
value Of this product. The purchase
Of concentrated feeding stuffB, with
careful saving OF manure, is as recog'
nized means of adding fertility to the
soil as the purchase OF fertilizers.
Hand in hand with 1t goes the growth
Of legumlnous crops, cowpeas, clover,
alfalfa, vetches, etc. which take up
nitrogen from the air, are fed TO the
animal, and, in the form Of manure go
to the soil TO increase its content OF
nitrogen.
This plant food IN an average ton OF
cotton seed meal Is estimated to be
worth $23.70. Only a comparatively
small part Of this is retained In the
animal, with a liberal allowance, the
value of the excreta, solid and liquid,
would be 500 for each ton Of cotton
seed meal fed. The weight would Of
course be considerably more than a
ton, since a large amount OF water Ia
present, besides the residues Of the
hulls or other roughage fed along with
the meal,
There are certain unavoidable losses
connected with the collection and
preservation OF manure, but the ma
nure from q ton of cotton seed meal
should be worth at least $40 to SIS,
properly cared for, In a great many
cases, however, only a small part Of
the manurial value Of the meal Ia re-
allied. The LIQUID Is lost, the
solid manure IL exposed to the rains
until the most valuable portions are
wasted out OF It; in such cases only a
small part Of the manurial value OF
the meal is realized.
II Is well to understand that when
cotton seed meal Ia fed It's value does
not end, that the manure from II too
often despised, neglected, or imDrop-
eriy cared for, makes up a consid.
able part OF Ito value; and that those
who take advantage OF both its feed
ing value and It's manurial value, 80
far as is possible, "a afford to pay a
better price for 1t than those who
utilize only It's feeding value.

that they always sell of their early

Lane tenure and land service in Finland pre-
sent many interesting features. The more salient
points are actual s~urvivals of federal times.
The class of peasant which may be called Ia
borerfarmers" consists OF men who receive no
wages. They occupy buildings belonging to the
landowner, which they are required to keep in
repair. The landowners make grants Of seed
and other necessares, and OF certain lands which
the laborerfarmers cultivate for their own bene-
fit. They have free access to the forest for fuel
and for lumber for repairs. In return they are
obliged to work for the landowner with their
own families and horses, On holdings, where
there Is clay. the laborerfarmers are allowed to
make bricks and to earn what they can by sales,
paying SO much, per cent on their gains to their
landowne
Many aborer-farmers are quite we'll of, and,
whilst they retain their status as peasants, their
sons and daughters are sent to excellent schools
and enter government and commercial employ
ments. This class Of men must not, however, be
COMPOUNDED with the free" peasantry. The lat.
ter, although generally poorer, have superior
