Principal Address by GoIaz

The principal address Of the morn
ing was delivered by DR.. f.. II. Golaz,
chemist of the university of Texas,
who discussed the subject Of food
value of cottonsced meal at some
length. Although he INDUCED In a
good many technical terms and ques-
tionB known only in "A general way to
those In the business, he showed the
effect of cottonsecd meal as a food
stuff when too much was eaten by
the stock and how It should be prop
crly fed In order to get the most Of
It's value.
At the start he emphasized strong
~ that cottonseed meal was not bring
ing what It should In price. He said
the value Of this by-product of cotton
was really greater than any but a
few imagine, but stated that when the
people of the south and of the United
States came to realize it's value II
should be used more and to better
advantage. and the price of meal
would so up from $2S or $50 per ton
To two or three times that amount
He was loudly applauded at this. DIR.
Golaz then took up the value of the
food units of this product and pro
ceedcd TO show how 1t could be over
eaten and thus kill the stock. He
discussed at some length the toxic
properties of the substance and the
so-called poison could be handled with
good results. He said that but few
people know what the word poison
really meant and added that in some
cases II would be construed as be
ing too much Of anything He used
this in illustration OF the fact that a
great many cattle and hogs died year
~ from eating cottonseed meal and
told that il was because they had
eaten too much OF the food for too
long a time.
