What is a Bush4l of Cotton Seed?

The writer believes that the prae-
uce of selling cotton sure is done to q
considerable extent in certain sections
OF the Cotton Belt, cannot be too Sc
vereiy condemned. have made such
an extensive Investigation and there
appears to be no standard bushel. II
seems that all oil mills consider 80
pounds q bushel. but 1t appears that
most buyers OF wagon seed, espec-
iaily ginners purchase according to q
S3 1-3 pound bushel, which gives
them approximately one extra bush
Ell from the seed OF each bale ginned.
have made it practice to question
seed buyers and others and have had
q bushel variously described as con-
stituting from 2S to IS pounds. The
SS-Pomd bushel 10 used by the sell
lers Of planting seed. the 30-pound
bushel by the Oil mills in purchasing
from buyers In some cases farmers.
The 80. 33. 33 1-3 and 35-pound
oushel is usually used in purchasing
seed from farmers. From this It is
evident that the term 'bushel" is a
valuable quantity when applied to
cotton seed and consequently a meas
ure that is used to the disadvantage
Of many farmers.
OIL mills keep their records accord
ing to pounds. hundredweights or
tons and sell all Of their products ac-
cording to these measurements. Mills
do not enter loads Of cotton seed on
their books as SO many bushels, but
as SO many pounds. This is the pro-
per way for farmers to sell their
seed, for example, by the hundred
pounds. as 1t is easy for any one to
calculate by tens.
Selling by the bushel necessitates
converting pounds into bushels and
that bushel In many cases ar IN
known or variable quantity. There
fore 1t seems that it would Be to the
inerest Of all parties. except those
deriving an unfair 9dvantage. to deal
In seed by the hundred pounds rath.
er than by the bushel.
Farmers can easily bring about
this method Of purchase as all oil
mills probably prefer to buy by the
hundredweight and other buyers can
probably be induced to do 20 II the
seller will ask for q ton or hundred
weight bid on the seed.-The Pro
