Cotton Seed, Cottonseed Meal
and Commercial Fertilizers

the Georgia Experiment Station
has received a number of INQUIRIES
of late in regard to the ACCESSIBILITY
CT using cottonseed in place of cot
tonseed meal or commercial fer.il-
izer, at the present prices.
In the following table is given the
average analyses Of q number of
samples OF cottonseed and cotton
seed meal:
Cottonseed meal, 600 percent nj
trogen; 2.88 percent phosphoric
acid; III potash.
Ccttonseed, 3.13 percent nitro
gen; l.27 percent phosphoric acid ;
LII potash.
In favor Of cottonseed meal. 2.87
percent nitrogen; Lei percent phos
phorc acid; so potash
1t can be seen from this that
cottonseed meal has nearly two
times the amount of nitrogen and
phosphoric acid, and about one and
one-haf the amount of potash in it
as has cottonseed But this does
not tell the whole story. The cot
tonseed oil, which is removed from
the cottonseed, is a carbohydrate and
has no fertilizing value. It's re-
moval is an actual benefit as the
cottonseed meal has it's elements in
a more readily available form, as
the oil IN cottonseed prevents their
rapid decay. Also, cottonseed meal
is in a better form for mixing and
handling than cottonseed 1t is
generally considered that TWO and
one-third times as much cottonseed
as cottonseed meal must be applied
to an acre of ground in order to OBJ
ain the same effect.

The fertilizer market appears s.
unstable at the time of writing this
article that it is difficult to set n
price on the various fertilizing Gle
ments. However, if the retail price
of 16 percent acid phosphate is taken
at $1,000 a ton, muriate of patash
at $1,000 a ton, and nitrate of sodJ
at $4,000 ton, and the difference
in availability of the various forms
of fertilizer be disregarded, we find
that cottonseed is worth about 81
a ton as fertilizer and cottonseed
meal about $1,000 a ton.
1t can be seen from that with cot
tonseed selling at $500 q ION that
there is loss of $500 a ton when
it is used as a fertilizer 1t still
pays the cotton farmer to sell his
cottonseed or exchange it for meal.
As cottonseed meal is chiefly valu-
able as a fertilizer because of its nj
trOgen content, its money value as
fertilizer depends mainly upon the
percentage of nitrogen it contains
and the price of nitrogenOus fertil-
izers. With nitrate of soda selling
at $4,000 a ton, or other nitrogen
fertilizers at an equivalent price,
and cottonseed meal containing 8
percent nitrogen selling at $4,000 &
ton, there is a margin Of $500 III
favor of the cottonseed meal. How
ever. if the nitrate of soda should
fall to less than $500 a ton the
use of cottonseed meal as fertilizer
at $4,000 ton would be unprofit-
able.

B0RELLA LOSES
IN BOUT WITH
MARSHALL
Second Smoker OfFairbanks
A. A. Proves Excellent
Entertainment

With weight and experience work
ing against him, Charlie Borella, the
popular young welterweight wrestling
champion of Vermont, fell before the
mighty Arthur J. Marshall of Bruns-
wick, Me-, in their match Monday
evening which was the feature event
on the lengthy program of entertain
ment provided at the second big
smoker held under the auspices of
the Fairbanks Athletic Association
Throughout New England Marshall
is known as the wrestler of a thous-
and holds" and in the course of last
nights battle the giant Maine athle-
lete demonstrated no less than a score
of these grips, many of them created
by his own mind.
Although Borella was outmatched
he forced his opponent to the limit
every inch of the way. It was unfor
tunate that the Newport youngs.er
was matched with Marshall because
of their great difference in weight.
When the battle became a t st of
physical prowess it was difficult for
Charlie to cope with his adversary.
Despite his inferiority in some de-
partments the younger wrestler was
in the role of the aggressor the
greater portion of the evening and
never once did he show the slightest
sign Of weakening. Many of the fans
We're surprised by Borella's work W tn
much heavier man and they were
furnished an interesting show where
they expected a one-sided affair and
quick finish.
Borella shows noticeable improve
ment in his work each time he per-
forms and it is only a question of
time when he will rank with the top
notehers in his profession. He should,
however, confne himself TO matches
with men nearer his we 'ght. Charlie
weighs in at LAT pounds ringside, but
because of his marvellous strength
could easily handle man of l60
pounds. But when it comes to tackl-
ing men like Marshall who tips the
scales at close to 175 pounds in battle
array he is biting off more than he
can chew"
The strangle hold and the Flying
mare" were the only holds barred in
the contest and as result of the close
rivalry between tn men, this being 4

THE LOCOMOTIVE "PuFFs"

Have you never lain awake at night near some railway junction and heard the labored sounds of a locomotive when endeavoring to get a heavy freight under way? The first distinct puff is followed only after what seems quite long in terval by another. The third comes more tardily, and then, perhaps, there follows a series of puff, puff, puff, puff, so rapidly you cannot count them. An interval of silence and then the slow, labored puffing begins again, and by and by, after several of these hysterieal bursts, the locomotive gets down to regu- lar breaths, gradually increasing in speed, and you know she has final ly got her load under control. But do you know the explanation of the sounds you have heard?
 For every turn of its driving wheels locomotive emits four sep arate puffs. In starting a heavy train the wheels barely move, or revolve so slowly that these puffs are divided by sppreciable intervals of time, but every now and then the weight of the load proves too heavy for it's engine and the wheels merely fly around on the rails, making no progress, although com polling it to emit the volley of puffs we have mentioned.
 The number of these puffs a To- comotive when fairly in motion gives in a given distance is governed en- tirely by the size of it's driving wheels. Therefore, if the circum- ference of the wheel is 20 feet which is about the average-and the train is going 50 miles an hour, we get 800 puffs minute. The cough or puffs is due to the abrupt emission of wsate steam from the smoke stock. When there are more than Is puffs a second the human ear cannot distinguish tenn separately, and we jump to the erroneous conclusion that the loco mitve is no longer puffing at its task.
