COTTONSEED MEAL
Cottonseed meal is a feed that has not been thoroughly
appreciated by dairymen and cattle feeders. Before the
war the South was ex| orting enormous quantities of this
high protein feed, which on account of its high feed and
fertilizer value, should have boon used on the farms of
this country.
During recent months prices of nearly all feeds have
mounted to staggering heights, but cottonseed meal still
remains one of the very cheapest sources of protein. The
price of this feed has mounted to round tifty dollars a ton,
but compared with other feeds that are bought for their
protein content it is still a cheap feed. At tifty dollars a
ton for meal containing thirty-six per cent of protein a
pound o7 protein costs only seven cents. At present
prices there are few feeds that supply this valuable ele
in en t at so low a cost.
Usually the price of meal iK considerably above tho
price paid for cottonseed, but in 1910 tho price paid for
the seed was greater than that which the users paid for
the meal. Prices for other by products of the cotton-
seed h;ive gone "out of sight".
It is a fact worth considering that at present prices
for fertilisers the manure from a ton of this by-prodnet
of the cottonseed oil industry is worth round twenty rive
dollars if it is properly cared for. Tnis is a factor that
the wise farmer will not ignore, although he can afford to
buy this feed for its feed value alon;.
For a long time we have been spreading a layer of fer
ti 1 ity on a number of European countries every year. We
need this fertility right hero. And when these home-pro-
duced protein feeds are a good buy just as feed we ought
to take advantage of an opportunity to ouild up the soil
at what, we might say, is no cost at all.
NOW THEN
The meal we are making and
selJing here in Bastrop cost
you $8.00 per too less than
above and analysis (under
guarantee) 8 per cent higher
in protein than above.
