COTTONSEED FEED
FOR BEEF CATTLE
Value Of Food Has Been Recognized by
Agricultural Authorities for Some
Time, SAYS Department of
Agriculture.

Because of the abundant supply of
Ieettonseed meal that there IS likely to
be in this country this year, specialists
! in the | nited States department OF ag-
ricuture believe that the farmer has a
better opportunity to make money by
feeding beef cattle than for some years
past The feeding value of cottonseed
meal has been recognized by agricul-
tural authorities for some time and large
quantities OF 1t are expected annually TO
1 Europe where the farmers, especially
those in Denmark. are also aware OF its
usefulness IL now seems likely that
the price OF cottonseed meal will con
time TO be considerably lower than in
recent years and the American farmer
should therefore utilize il TO advantage
to make cheap gains
Two causes combine 10 lower the price
OF cottonseed bv.products, In the first
place the cotton crop in the south this
year il good and in the next the foreign
markets have been seriously interfered
with by the European war. IL is es-
timsted that this year l5000,0o0 bales
OF cotton will b. produced in the United
States This should yield 66s0,000 tons
be crushed. but ii last years proper
tons hold good again about 2,00o.0oO
tons OF eottonseed meal will be available.
last year approximately 100000 tons
were sent abroad Under present con
ditions il Is not probable that anything
ike this quantity will be exported this
year, and, as the cotton crop Is larger
than before. il is safe 70 assume that I
the quantity OF cottonseed mea, on the /.
home market will be 100000 tons more /
than last year This situation has 1
