Causes Must be Considered Before a Remedy is Suggested. (Soulhern Ruralist.) When liie market for any agricul tural product becomes disorganized it is difficult to offer a satisfactory solution to the situation. In such instances it is well to consider causes before attempting to suggest a rem edy. The low price now being of fered for cotton seed ls extremely dis appointing tf> Southern farmers. Tho large importation of oriental oils lb somewhat responsible for the pre vailing condition. Not only are the tanners suffering losses, but many concerns that have large investments in oils arc strained almost to the breaking point. Before determining to feed cotton seed in their raw state to live stock or use thom as fertilizer, it is well to consider their value In comparison with other sources of feed and fertil izer. At the time of the preparation of this article mills are offering $3n a ton for seed from the wagons and $34 a ton f. o. b. shipping point in car lots; or they will exchange on a basis of 1,200 pounds standard cotton seed meal for a ton of seed. The value of this product as feed is determined largely by Its protein content. Cotton seed contains 12.0 per cent digestible protein; whereas, high-grade meal contains 37.2 per cont. The oil and linters are of prac tically no value to cuttle, so we are led to conclude that one pound of meal is worth moro than two pounds of seed. When we consider the fact that when the seed are fed the oil is a total loss, and that by exchanging as indicated above there is a gain in feeding value, we do not hesitate to advise against tho feeding of the whole seed, except in extreme cases whore there ls a long haul to market. Nitrogen is tho prhicipal fertilizer element in colton seed and mea). Standard cotton seed meal contains 6.18 per cent nitrogen, whereas seed contains about 3 per cent. So, If the seed are used as fertilizer wo again sustain a total loss of the oil, which has no fertilizer value. Meal com pares favorably In prlco with other nitrogen carriers at this timo., By using nitrato of soda and other car riers wo can obtain nitrogen at about 31 cents per pound, while tho nitro gen in cotton seed meal will cost prac tically 34' cents. It should be borne In mind that thc meal also contains 2.r> per cont phosphorous and 1.5 per cont potash. Furthermore, meal has the advantage of the seed ns a nitro gen carrier in thal lt can be moro readily distributed. Tho seed, when used as fertilizer, germinate and the plants get In the way of tho grow ing crops. A great many farmers pre vent this by making composts. If the compost gets hot enough to kill the seed germ there ls certain to ho 'i heavy loss of nitrogen. Aftor all, Ibo sanost program would bo to feed tho meal to live stock, carefully conserving the ma nure. Dy this process nt least 75 per cent of tho fertilizer value In the meal is returned to the soil, and a profit should be realized on the feed ing operation. Some may claim that (he seed comparo more favorably with tho meal as fertilizer than tho analysis would Indicate, lt ls- true Dial by applying seed we get more organic mal ter. but if the meal is fed lo live stock and the manure return ed to the' soil, the organic matter and tlonal Headquarters of tho American minage of America's fighting men to ir service tn the World War by this scientific and art creation of Major >rat Sta?, U.

In communities having no oil mills we would suggest that farmers make car-lot shipments co-opevnlively and buy meal the same way.
