Half Ton of Meal Worth Ton
Of Seed AS Fertilizer

MIR. FARMER, have you given
real thought to whether you are
doing the right thing in holding your
cotton seed for fertilizer, instead of
taking them to the oil mill and swap
ping them for meal to use for the
same purpose? Probably YOU have
given some good, hard serious
thought. to the subject. But you
probably are of the opinion thatoa ton
of meal is worth more, and prob
ably little less, for fertilizer, than
i ton of seed, and believe swap
on the mill basis would be decidedly
to your disadvantage.
However. this seems not to be a
fact. According to expert analysis,
a half ton of meal contains nearly
the same fertilizer ingredient that a
ton Of seed contains. The mills
here are giving 800 pounds Of meal
for a ton Of seed, which represents
a gain Of nearly so per cent, if this
analysis is correct, in favor of the
farmer. At the same time, it sup
plies the oil mill with raw material
on which to operate and employ
labor and manufacture. product
