farmer considered tliem worthless,
often burning them to get them out
of the xx.iy. Hut in the good yenr
1910 It Is unite different. The vulue
of (Toilin's cotton seed crop for this
year will reach almost two million
dollars. Taking the cotton crop at
80,000 bales for this year and al-
lowing u half ton of seed to the bale,
would show 40,000 tons of cotton
seed. The price being paid now Is
_4 Per ton and the seed havo
brought high prices all the season,
but to be real conservative the price
is figured at an average of $tr> per
ton, which would make the crop
worth 11.800,000. But the price will
probably average more tliun $45 per
ton, especially since one takes into
consideration the selected seed for
planting: which sold for from $3 to
$5 per bushel.
This Is by far the most valuable
seed crop Collin county has ever
raised, and It seems that in tho fu-
ture cotton seed will remain at a
good price as they are bring utilized
now for making of cooking oils, etc.
The meal and hulls bring good
prices, I11 fact notliitiK is lost In the

The McKinney Cotton Market.
McKinney has one of the best cot-
ton markets of any town in Texas. A
large number of buyers are In Mc-
r Kinney and all dining the season
they haw paid tip-top prices for the
fleecy staple. A great portion of
