FEED C. S. MEAL-
TO BEEF CUTTLE
From
Crop Correspondents United
States Department of
Agriculture.
HecRtise of tbo abundant aupply of
; cottonseed meal that there Is likely
to be In tli In country hln year spui'lul-
lata In the department believe that the
furmer has a better opportunity to
make money by feeding beef cattle
than for some years pant. The feeding
value of cottonseed meal Ii:ir been
recounted by agricultural authorities
I for Rome time and large qualities of it
( cottonseed meal will "Continue to ho
coiifllderably lower than In recent
years and tho American farmer
should therefore utilize It to advan-
tage to make cheap gains.
Two caiiHcs combine to lower the
price' of cottonaoed by-products. In
the first place the col ton crop in the
South this year In good and In the
next the foreign markets have been
seriously Interfered with by the Euro-
pean war. It is estimated that this
year 15000000 bales of cotton will be
produced b the Trltod Wales. Tlil-t
should yield O.OSO.OOO tons of seed. A: I
of this of course will not l.e crushed
but if lust yeur a proiartloii hold goo I
again about 2000000 tons of cotton-
Heed meal will be; available. Last year
approximately 400000 tons were sent
abroad. I'nder preaent conditions It
Is not probable that anything like thin
quuntity will be exported this year
and as the cotton crop Is larger than
before It is safe to assume that the
quantity cf 'ottonseed meal on the
home market will be 500000 tons morn
than last year. This sltitntlon has al-
ready resulted In a substantial drop
In the price of cottonseed by-products.
Cottonseed meal can now be bought
in the South at nrbes ranclnir from
$22 to $24 per ton Instead of $27 to $31 j P iulists say will prove as profit-
demanded last year. An even greater aul rottons.ed meal tills year. In
decrease bus taken place in the price ! the South the feeders have an oppor-
of cottonseed hulls which are now
selling at from $4.50 to $5.50 a ton
Instead of $7 to $9 a ton.
At these prices cottonseed meal Is
approximately $15 per ton cheaper
than linseed meul and In addition Its
feeding value is a trifle higher. It
seems obvious therefore that the cat-
tle feeder all over the country should
utilize cottonseed meal to a far greater
extent than be has done In the past.
I This meal Is very rich in protein
! and it is usually considered that its
j feeding value Is at least twice that of
corn. In other words one pound of ;
! cottonseed meal Is equal to two
! pounds of corn for feeding cattle. A
small portion of cottonseed meal has
I an even greater relative value where
the ration would otherwise be com-
posed entirely of feeds high in carbo-
hydrates such as corn corn stover
and timothy hay. This is extremely
Important to cattle feeders through-
out the corn belt and other States
where much corn Is fed. In Indiana
for example It was found thatt he ad-
dition of one pound of cottonseed meal
to ration of corn and clover hay re-
sulted In a saving of 1.37 ounds of
corn and 1.41 pounds of clover hay.
this means that if corn wus worth 70
cents a bushel and clover hay $15 a
ton- each ton of cottonseed menl fed

at the Colonial Theatre
the cattle saved the farmer $53.40
worth of other feed. With cottonseed
meal at $24 a ton tills Is a net saving
rf $:!1.40 a saving well worth while.
As a matter of fuct cottonseed meal
has. been the principal concentrate
fed to cuttle la the South for years.
In experiments conducted by the Bu-
reau of Animal Industry it was found
that with this as the only concentrat-
ed feed gains could be 'made on steers
very economically; 350 pounds of
meal often produced as much as 100
pounds of gain. When fed JudlclouHly
six pounds of cottonseed meal a day
for a period of 100 to 120 days does
not prove harmful to mature steers.
If the steers are to be fed for a longer
fierlod .however the amount fed
should not be more than four pounds
a day. For wintering cattlo It Is hard
to find a better or more economical
button than silage combined with two
to three pounds of cottonseed meal
and a little fodder or stover. Malum
cattlo can be wintered on a ration of
thirty pounds of sllago two pound
of cottonseed ineal and. about five
pounds of some dry roughage. On
such a ration steers will pass through
the winter In exceedingly good condi-
tion and even gain something In live
weight.
Hut In addition to Its feeding vulue
the fertilizing value of cottonseed
meal Is very high so high indeed
that often the fertilizing constituents
in tho meal are alone worth as nun h
or more than It now costs. When It
l.-t remembered that from HO to !'0 per
ceht of this fertilizing value remains
In the manure the opportunities for
profit thut It use offers become even
more obvious. To put the (use In an-
other way: When one Includes In his
calculations the enrichment of the
land he finds that feeding cottonseed
meal to cattle costs him only from 10
to 20 per cent of the market price of
the meal.
In view of these facts specialists
In the department recommend cattle
feeders in oil parts of the country to
secure prices on cottonseed by-products
and to take advantage of the
cheap foods that they provide. No
other form of concentrated feed the
i tunlty to get these by-products
to get these by-products at
lower pri-es than lit any other time
during the last ten years. Combined
with farm-grown feeds such as corn
silage they should be able to secure
gains very cheaply and with the
present high prices for finished cattle
make good profits. Incidentally it
may be said that if such a movement
tends to strengthen and steady tho
market for cottonseed by-products
this in itself will be of considerable
assistance

STATES SITUATION
Bond
Issue Means Prosperity With-
out It We Face
Bankruptcy
Editor Eagle:
In a former artlciu I mentioned tho
necessity of a road bond Issue. to re-
lieve the financial condition of the
county. Nothing seems to have been
done to promote the;' suggestion and
conditions are becoming more serious
every day. It seems to mo farmers )
and merchants instead of waiting and
hoping for conditions to' Improve
should get a move on themselves and
improve them.
There is no scarcity of money In
the I'n lied Stntes. nor even In Texas.
The whole trouble is this: The Euro-
pean wur has demoralized the coltnn
market and cotton cannot bo sold for
enough to pay our debts. W have
nothing else to sell. Those who ex-
pected legislation and resolutions to
give relief have been disappointed.
Those who expect to borrow money on
cotton In advance of its market price
will also be disappointed. There Is
no rcitsomthle excu:;e for un Intelligent
citizenship In the midst of plenty to
be In want. There Is no excusable
reason for an Intelligent producer to
market bis crops over real bad roads
when the law provides a way for a
good road.
A bond Issue of $100000 would put
every farmer In Drazos County on a
cash basis for jiext year. It would
enable the tenant farmer to pull
through without the assistance of the
landlord. There nre perhaps less
than a dozen farmeis In the county
who can make next year's crop with-
out the help of merchant or bank. To
hold the present cotton for next year's
provisions will cause certain bank-
ruptcy among the merchants.
If every Idle man In Ilrnzos County
could get employment at a dollar and
fifty cents per day or three dollars and
fifty cents er day for man and team
through the w Inter and spare time
next spring the problem would be
solved. Ilrazos County Could and
would be on a cash basis.
The supplies necessary to grow next
year's crop will amount to fully $100-
000. Without a bond issue that
amount will be due next rail. And
what then? With money we can save
the difference in cash and credit
prices which is about 20 per cent.
This on $100000- amounts to $SO0oti.
The average man with an ooen ac-
Nou nt buy 20 per cent more than he
would for cash: there Is another $su.
oon saved making $M00iio or nearly
one-half the amount of the proosed
bond Issue placed to the credit of the
farmers in one year.
Should the great European war con-
tinue we could not hope to pay the
$00000 due on supplies next year
and 10 per cent Interest would begin
to accumulate making $10000 per
annum. The Interest on the bond Is-
sue would be only one-half that
amount.
In changing from cotton to other
crops next year will be. with most
farmers an experiment Experiment-
al farming may and it may aot be
profitable. ' We can all hope for profit
but good business judgment should
prepare us In advance to cheerfully
meet dlsapiiolntment.
Anything the farmer grows besides
cotton will cause trips more often to
market. That alone will require good
roads. There are numerous roads In
Ilrazos County over w hich a good team
can pull only one thousand pounds
when they could draw three thousand
over a good rond. To accuse anyone
of being satisfied with the nresent
condition of the roads is equlvaleat
to questioning his Intellect.
The whole proposition Is this: We
are going to accumulate $400000 debts
next year and market our crops over
the very poorest sandy unworked
roads If we fail to get the bond Issue.
With the bond Issue we will pay cash
next year and trot to market over a
good road. Without the bond Issue
the merchant will see difficulty suc-
ceeded by difllculty and hope by dis-
appointment With a bond issue they
will enjoy a splendid cash business
during the 'whole year.
If Brazos County will act quickly
Grimes Madison Leon Ilurleson and
other ndjolnlng counties nro apt to
follow our example. The linnl result
will be: South Central Texas will
have the best roads and the most pros-
perous citizenship in Texas.
