Because of the abundant supply o
cottonseed meal that there is lkel!
to be in this country this year, special
lists in the United States agriculture
department believe that the farmer
has a better opportunity to make
money by feeding beef cattle than FOL
some years past. The feeding value
of cottonseed meal has been recog
nized by agricultural authorities fol
some time and large quantities OF II
are exported annually to Europe where
the farmers, especially those in Den
mark, are also aware of its usefulness
1t now seems likely that the price OF
cottonseed meal will continue to be
considerably lower than in recent years
and the American farmer should there
fore utilize it to advantage to make
cheap gains.
Two causes combine to lower the
price of cottonseed by-products. In
the first place the cotton crop in the
South this year is good, and in the
next the foreign markets have been
seriously interfered with by the Euro
pean war. It Is estimated that this
year 100000 bales of cotton will be
produced in the United States. This
should yield 6.6S0,0O0 tons Of seed.
All of this, Of course, will not be
crushed, but If last years proportions
hold good again about two million
tons of cottonseed meal will be avail
able. Last year approximately 100000
tons were sent abroad. Under present
conditions 1t is not probable that any
thing like this quantity will be export
ed this year, and, as the cotton crop Is
larger than before, 1t Is safe to as
sumo that the quantity Of cottonseed
meal on the home market will be $780,
900 tons more than last year This
situation has already resulted in a
substantial drop In the price Of cotton
seed by-products. Cottonseed meal
can now be bought in the South at
prices ranging from $22 to $24 per ton
instead of $27 to $31 demanded last
year. An even greater decrease has

bulls, which are now selling at from
$3.50 to $3.50 ton instead of 81 to
50 a ton.
At these prices cottonseed meal Is
approximately SIS per ton cheaper
than linseed meal, and in addition its
feeding value is a trifle higher. It
seems obvious, therefore, that the cat
tie feeder all over the country should
utilize cottopseed meal to a far great
or extent than he has done in the
past.
This meal Is very rich in protein.
and 1t is usually considered that its
feeding value is at least twice that of
corn. In other words, one pound of
cottonseed meal is equal to two pounds
of corn for feeding cattle. A small
portion of cottonseed meal has an even
greater relative value where the ra-
ton would otherwise be composed en-
tirely of feeds high in carbohydrates,
such as corn, corn stover and timothy
hay. This Is extremely important to

teristic can be observed. When wet,
the spots produced by powdery scab
are invariably darker colored than
those of the common type. Common
scab is, as a rule, nothing more than
a surface ulcer, resulting from the
irritation of the growth of the seed
parasite in the superficial cells of the
tissue. On account Of the character
Of the LESSONS thus produced the keep
ing qualities of the tubers are practi-
.cally uninjured and the value for food
purposes is not materially lessened. 1t
simply makes them unsightly and less
easy to prepare for the table.
Crossville chronicle. [volume] (Crossville, Tenn.) 1894-current, 1915-02-03

cattle feeders throughout the corr
belt and other states where much
corn is fed. In Indiana, for example
it was found that the addition of one
pound of cottonseed meal to a ration
of corn and clover hay resulted in q
saving of 1877 pounds Of corn and 1.41
pounds of clover hay. This means
that If corn was worth 70 cents a
bushel and clover hay SIS a ton. each
ton of cottonseed meal fed the cattle
saved the farmer $55. 40 worth of other
feed. With cottonseed meal at $24
ton this is a net saving of $31.40-
a saving well worth while.
AS a matter of fact cottonseed meal
has been the principal concentrate fed
to cattle in the South for years. In
experiments conducted by the bureau
of animal industry 1t was found that
with this as the only concentrated
feed gains could be made on steers
very economically. Three hundred
and fifty pounds of meal often pro-
duced as much as 100 pounds of gain.
When fed judiciously, six pounds of
cottonseed meal a day for a period
Of 100 to 100 days does not prove
harmful to mature steers. If the steers
are to be fed for longer period, how
ever, the amount fed should not be
more than four pounds day. For
wintering cattle 1t is hard to find q
better or more economical ration than
silage combined with two to three
pounds of cottonseed meal and a little
fodder or stover. Mature cattle can
be wintered on a ration of 30 pounds
of silage, two pounds Of cottonseed
meal. and about five pounds of some
dry roughage.
But in addition to it's feeding value
the fertilizing value of cottonseed
meal is very high-so high indeed that
often the fertilizing constituents in the
meal are alone worth as much or more
than it now costs. When 1t Is remem-
bered that from 80 to 80 per cent of
this fertilizing value remains in the
manure the opportunities for profit
that its use offers become even more
obvious.
In view Of these facts, specialists
in the department recommend cattle
feeders In all parts of the country to
secure prices on cottonseed by-prod-
ucts and to take advantage of the
cheap foods that they provide. No
other form Of concentrated feed, the
specialists say. will prove as profitable
as cottonseed meal this year. In the
South the feeders have an opportun-
ity to get these by-products at lower
prices than at any other time during
the last ten years. Combined with
farm. grown feeds. such as corn silage.
they should be able to secure gains
very cheaply, and with the present
high prices for finished cattle. make
good profits Incidentally 1t may be
said that II such a movement tends
to strengthen and steady the market
for cottonseed by-products, this will in
itself be OF considerable assistance to
cotton growers In the South.
