ALLIANCE DEPARTMENT J. F. NISBET Editor. Now we beg you to remember the meeting of the Lancaster county Cotton Growers Association next Sat. Oth of March. We want the full number of delegates Irom * each township association and others who will attend we are interested in this tiling and we are anxious lor you to come and we know you will learn something that will do you goo i. We are truly giad to n ivo the valuable assistance v.o i ceiviiiit in i i?e wav in .au-r. .1 ii Cotton Meal And Cotton Moats. To E. E. Eee, Wildwood, Ala. ? You ask "if there is any dif l'erence in tho fertilizing value that is ground on the I'errytnan mill and that that is ground at an oil mill and the oil extracted." We do not know just what is the condition of the meal as ground bv a "I'errytnan mill," i. e.. whether the hull is left in the meal or not. The following will cover your question* : One hundred ;?<la of cotton meal such as is turned out by the cotton oil mills is equal in fertil izing value to 2.r>0 pounds of cotton seed either whole or crushed *?r . i: .'.ii ti /I o?wl /\/< ? 1 Or w. vvju::: . Oil pounds of tlie kernels or merits, with the oil in them and without the hulls. This js based on the aetu.il content of fertilizing prop, erties or elements of fertilizing value eont ainet 1 in t he t hree forms. ()i course the L'OO poittels of m< al is more ccmvenient to handle, more concerned and, therefore, preferable, to the *2.r>0 pounds ol white or crushed or ground seed t with tlx? hulls), or the Id.o pounds of moats or kernels. I lie locals are not ?|iiite as jjjond as t lie meal "when allowed to decompose in the ground" because til y will not 1 as intimately ml :ed vita *i *>oil.

When the lire struck Mr. K. 10. ' Wylies woods there was a lire. s These last named woods have ' never been burned before to my ' knowing. < >ue thing remarkable is why Messrs. W. K.

Ten years ngo the cotton sect ' was looked upon with contempt j as something which could not In utilized except for planting or for tilizing purposes; and on arronn I of the vast quantity of cotton seei j produced, most of the crop fount its vrov hack into tho soil. To 1 day the cotton peed is looker i upon with admiring homntre.

Since the birth of the cottor seod industry in this section eacl year has enlarged its crowing area and increasing tho scope of its possibilities. At the preson' time tho finest quality of salaf oils.compound lard.hutterene anf other products are made from cot ton seed ; while tho waste mate ( rial resulting is used to fatter ' cows and hogs for market.
