Uses of Cottonseed Pro

Essay by a Bright Lancas

vorable Mention in Priz
Contest Conducted by Stat
Cotton Seed Crushers' As
sociation.
For many years cotton seed wn
considered only useful to plain
Thousands of t"iis ot tins see
were annually burned or dum{
ed into the rivers. But at Iast
was shown that cotton seed ws
not only valuable as a fertilize
. and feeding stuff in its crud
state, but capable of iurnishiu
products that are among tli
most important elements in oi
national industries. The oil
the main product, and is use
lor a great variety of purpose
which are explained later.
The residue ufter the remov
of the oil is a valuable fertilizand
feeding stuil, the hulls e:
cellent fuel, the ashes of the hul
a fertilizer rich in potash an
phosphoric acid, and the -efu<
from the oil refining valuab
stock for the manufacture 1
soaps. The seeds also contain
coloring matter which has bee
used to some extent as a dye st>
Thus a vast mass of materia
which was once looked upon i
necessarily a waste product In
become of very great commerci
value.
As yef, only about ono-thii
of the annual cropot cot'on set
is takeu to the mills. This
largely due to the lack of tran
porta' ion facilities. No pit
has been devised 'o preserve co
ton seed from heating wheu ^to
eu in lurjo' quantities. Who

In the United Stafe* the <i

treated with alkaline solutions

of pleasant taste, is racked ol

American seed yields a cleare

Timely Farm Notes.
Do not be afraid to buy commercial
fertilizer judiciously,
but try to have no much homemade
manure that very little
commercial fertilizer is needed.
Do not be deluded into thinking
that good seed alone will
make a good crop, Good plow- .,
ing is required and enough fertility
in the soil to nourish the
crop.
Heading agricultural papora
I not suited to your section may
do you ten times as much harm
as good, and ultimately disgust
you with all agricultural papers.
hither get manure scattered
on tlio land where it is to used
within a week atter it. is dropped,
or compost it and protect it well
till the compost is applied to the
soil.
Are you a slave? Do you raise
li'tlo ehe than cotton? Are you
always in debt to somebody else
who advances money for you
to make a crop on? Nine chances
in ten, it is raising nothing but
<otton that has brought you into
such a tight pinch.?Progressive
