/ SHORTAGE OF FUNDS
CUTS RESEARCH WORK

Reports from the Agricultural Elk
pertinent station at Gainesville show
that the force of research men there
has been greatly depleted by lack of
adequate funds to carry on the work.
Among those who have left during re-
cent months to accept better paying
positions elsewhere We're Dean p. Fl.
Rolls, Bayard F. Floyd and II. q. Ste
vens.
At the present time there are only
five men on the research staff, three
of whom have been in Florida less
than one year. At one time there were
eleven men doing research work at the
experiment station.
Florida stands in greater need of ex-
tensive agricultural experiment work
than any other state by reason of her
varied soil and climate. States to the
north can apply with more accuracy
the results obtained in adjoining states,
We must largely work out our own
problems.

COTTON SEED GOOD
FOR MANY PURPOSES

WASHINGTON, ID. c., April "a
Cotton experts have devised methods
for using everything about a ton of
cotton except the 146 pounds of dust
and dirt and volatile substances that
are thrown away or vanish into thin
air during the process of manufac-
ture. Specialists of the bureau of mar
kets, United States department Of ag
griculture have estimated that the ae-
tual cotton in a ton of unginned pro-
duct weighs only 700 to 750 pounds, the
remaining ,250 to 1900 pounds being
seeds. During the cotton year" end
ing July 81, 1920. the average yield for
the United States for one ton of cot
ton seeds was 76 pounds of linters, 800
pounds of oil, 906 pounds of cake and
meal and $40 pounds of hulls, in addi-
ton to 146 pounds OF foreign matter
and volatile substances. These proper
lions vary from year to year.
Cotton seed was formerly of little
commercial value, but there are now
some 500 plants in the United States
ginning a short fuzz clings to the seeds.
This fuzz is called linters, and Is re-
moved before the crushing begins. Lin
terS are used TO stun such things as
pads. mattresses, upholstery, and in
the manufacture of explosives, paper
stock and low grade yarns. The seeds
are crushed primarily for the oil, which
is of Importance, both economically and
gastronomically. Cotton oil may be-
come AN important constituent of
shortening, or of salad dressing or be
camouflaged as butter. 1t is also used
in manufacturing soap, candles, roof
ing tar and many other things.
The cake and meal which remain af-
ter crushing are used for cattle and
poultry feed, fertilizers, dye stuffs and
small quantities for flour. Even the
bulls are useful for fertilizers, cattle
feed, household utensils, for making
paper stock, as basis for explosives
and also for stuffing horse collars.

COOPERATION GOOD
FOR THE FARMERS
Need Is Evidenced in All Unorsanized
Agricultural Sections.

Why should farmers cooperate ?
What's the use OF buying and selling
with the neighbors? And many have
asked, why isn't it better for me to
buy and sell alone. since my wants
and my products are different from
the neighbor's?"
S. w. Hiatt. of the Florida agricul-
tural extension division, has answer
ed those questions. We quote him:
"The need of cooperation is evidence
cd in all unorganized agricultural sec
tions, particularly whore the farmer
is dependent on an outside market
for his products and for the purchase
of his necessities.
Systematic cooperation is the one
remedy FOR the farming people who
are struggling for an existence against
the exploitation and robbery of the
INSCRIPTIONS commission man and re-
tail dealer.
TN different sections these condi-
tons vary. But they are more or less
prevalent in all unorganized territory
where the farmer is dependent on the
middleman 70 his source of supplies
and for the sale of his products. Es-
pecially is this true where fertilizers
are purchased from commission men,
or farm products are sold on consign-
ment by the individual farmer.
THE amount of money saved to the
farmer by cooperative buying and
selling should constitute one of his
greatest sources of a farmers profit
Hence the need of cooperation"

NO SUCH THING
AS HOLLOW HORN
Really Trouble With Digestive Organs
as a Result of Feeding
BY DR.. A. l.. sHEALY
Professor Of Veterinary Science, Uni
versity Of Florida.

Many persons belive cattle have
'hollow horn" at times. This belief
is a mistake. The horn is attached
to a bony core. which is a prolonga-
ton OF the frontal bone. Many of the
bones OF the head have air spaces or
slnuses. one purpose OF which is to
give bulk and shape TO the bones
without adding to their weight. The
frontal bone has such an air pace,
and Il extends out into the bong core
over which the horn is attached. So
hollow horn is not disease, for the
horns are naturally hollow.
Cattle are apt to have digestive dis
orders, and what is often thought to
be hollow horn is no more nor less
than Indigestion, result OF eatins
mouldy or too much feed. sudden
change Of feed. overlooking the
paunch, or drinking stagnant water.
The practice of boring a hole into
the horn core and pouring in such in
gradients as turpentine, vinegar. black
pepper. liniments, common salt or
other such mixtures. is not only use
less and cruel. but also dangerous.

SIDE APPLICATION WILL
BE FOUND PROFITABLE

For the farmer who has planted his
cotton or corn without fertilizer, there
is much encoura cement IN the an
nouncement by Director J. NJ Harper,
of the Southern soil Improvement COM
mittee, that good yields may be secured
by the use of commercial plant food as
side application. Some farmers did
not buy all the fertilizer they needed
and should have used under the crops
this spring Now that fertilizer prices
are low again, many have rushed or
ders into their dealers and are finding
that it will be impossible for the goods
to be delivered In time for use at
planting. Mr.. Harper states. however
that the results of experiments show
that fertilizer may be used with profit
as a side application for cotton, pro-
vided this application is not made too
late in boil weeyil territory. For corn,
it is a well known fact that some of the
most successful yields secured In the
south have been made by employing
the Williamson plan. This plan calls
for the use of all fertilizers as side APP
plicatfons and none under corn at
planting.
Because of this, Mr.. Harper states,
and his statement is backed by years
of experiment station records and by
the practices of some of the best farm
ers in the Southeast, that farmers
should by all means still use liberal
amounts of plant food, so as to give
the hungry, growing plants a full feed
throughout the entire growing season.
This will give better yields on the
| the decreased acreage put in and will
reduce the cost of growing each pound
or bushel of crops. The better the yield
per acre. the bigger the profit, he be-
! lieves. and says this is especially true
now that fertilizer is again low priced
| and that bigger yields must be made
on each acre for the grower to make
any profit from his low priced crops.
