new RECORDS
BY STATE FARMERS
DENOTE PAST Year
CoTT0NsEED MEAL, COTTON
AND PECANS SET RECORD

The fourth in g. sereis OF. new
records established by Mississippi
farmers during 1887 il reported
by j. c. Holton, Commissioner Of
Agriculture, in q summary show
ing that state farmers utilized
more than one hundred Thousand
tons Of cottonseed meal during
the year closed.
Three new and all-time records
of production have already been
cited by the farm commissioner,
the biggest crop of cotton, the
highest average per-acre yield of
lint cotton, and the largest ton
mage Of pecans ever produced in
the state. s.;
Cottonseed meal, the fourth
record breaker, is used on Mis-
sissippi farms principally as q
feedstuff. though to some addi-
,tional extent as a fertilizer. It's
usage has varied considerably
from year to year, the report
shows, though it has been con-
sistently and extensively used dur
ing the past ten Or twelve years.
The lowest usage Of record is the
annual season 1917-1918, when the
total was only 1891 tons, while
the two od.ser extremely low years
include 1890 tons in the imme-
diately preceding year, and 6,377
tons in the year following. The
previous high record was estab-
lished during the annual season
1926-1927, when the total was &c.
915 tons. During the ten follow
ing years, cottonseed meal usage
has somewhat consistently increas
ed from 65,227 tons during the
annual season 1927-192S, to a.
484.8 tons, during the calendar
year 1887.
"Cottonseed meal is doubly i'm
portant in Mississippi agricul-
ture," stated Commissioner Hol-
ton. 1T is one Of the principal
products Of cottonseed, and its
