When 10 Sell Seed ana Bay
Neal for Feeding Purposes

Any reader can decide for him
self whether he should feed cot
tenseed or sell it and buy meal,
if he will add the cost of market
ing the seed and getting the meal
and then take tWo-thirdS of that
total, as the comparative feeding
value Of the seed,
For instance, suppose seed sell
Tor $50 a ton and it costs 81 atom
to market them and 50 a ton
freight and hauling cost to get
the meal to the farm, after pay
ing S3l a ton for the meal. In
this case, if we add the cost of
marketing the seed, 81 a ton, and
the cost of getting the meal, 81
a ton, to the first cost of the meal,
S34 a ton, we have a total cost of
s37 a ton for the meal, as COM
pared with $50 a ton for the seed.
Now, when seed are worth $50 a
ton for feeding, cottonseed meal
is worth S45 a ton. Of course,
this is too high a price for either
for feed, but one is about as cheap
as the other at these prices. To
apply our rule, when cottonseed
meal costs $37 a ton as in this
supposed case, seed should lie
sold and meal bought unless the
seed sold for less than (2-3 of
$37 24.66 2-3) S24.6 per ton.
Or, If one pound of cottonseed
meal can be laid down on the
farm for anything less than the
farm value of one and one-half
pounds of eottonseed, the seed
should be sold and meal obtain
