to the two soils in question, it seems
that it should not be necessary to apf
ply either lime or-potash to these
soils to ;obtain large crops.: While
they' contain quite a large amount of
ohosnhortc acid it is- entirely-" proba
ble that it will pay to use acid phos-
the present low price ol meal, owing
to the scarcity of money. AVhefi their,
cotton seed have been sold at a low
price the price oi meal is certain to
advance as the demand increases and,
.we repeat, all those who expect to use
meal should buy it at the present ww:

With corn! around 70 cents a bushel,
or a little above, in the North, the. cat
tle feeders are not going to be slow
to mcreaseHheir consumption of cot
tonseecl -meal. With corn at 70 cents
a Imshet they can .well afford to pay
low for the -cost of hauling the ; seed
to market and the meal , back to tnei
farm. On the other hand, as we havel
often pointed out, -al full ration of
seed :can not be satisfactorily used,
because the excess of oil which they;
contain is likely to 'cause scouring. A
larger amount ; oi -nutrients, or vi
larger part of the! ration, can he sup
