Cotton Seed Great Factor
In Winning World's War
THE DISCONTINUANCE OF FEEDING RAW COTTON SEED
WILL SAVE THE FARMER A MATERIAL AMOUNT IN
MONEY AND TIME AS WELL AS AID THE GOVERN-
MENT IN THE SUCCESSFUL PURSUANCE OF OUR
WAR AIM IT IS A PATRIOTIC DUTY FROM EVERY
STANDPOINT.

iJiiriiij; I hose times of strenuous
warfare every citizen is called upon
not only to cooperate with the Gov-
ernment in its plans hut to do his
utmost in every instance to increase
the eflicienry of every department
i.f industry. It is most essential
that every true citizen take it upon
himself to do his full share and I
l .ides this to prevail upon his nei
k hor to do likewise.
Al That the universal intention
y the people of the United States
i iln this can not he eainsaid. 1
there are cases where the people ai
misinformed or rather lack the cor
rect in tortiKil ion on how Lest to
rod their efforts alonir certain li
to best help themselves and the
(lovfrmncnt. Thev have not take
advantage of the results of most
i hu i ouli research hut to the con-
trary persist in following '.he origi-
nal mode and procedure irrespective
nf the fact that scientific investiga
tion li:s nrovell without '3 UUCStl
tliat the original methods were d
ciiledltf wronir and at fault wht
best results are taken into consid-
eration. This is particularly and emphat-
ically l rue of the fanner who feeds
his raw cotton seed to his stock.
This is not an adverse criticism of
any set of individuals or class of
farmers 1 1 1 1 is a direct statement
based upon scientific facts arrived
at by the closest study of the land's
best' authorities on the food value
of cotton seed. That the results of
their experiments through investi-
gation and practical application of
the methods decided upon are the
correct ones is most convincingly
exemplified in 'he far greater suc-
cess of the farmers and feeders who
have adopted the new methods than
that of those who still feed the raw
seed. The basi of the progress of
t lii-. country in all lines is the per-
lection of methods through scienti-
fic research. This is no age of
guess work and I he -piril of "what
was good enough years ago is good
enough now" can never prevail and
aid in the ever increasing efficiency
that we are now enjoying.
V. F. Lindsay manager of the
Ardmore Oil & Milling Co. in an
interview expressed himself to an
.Ardmorcito reported in a very few
. minutes regarding the relative value
of raw cotton seed and mill pro-
ducts as stock food as convincing-
ly and comprehensively as several
' columns of reading matter on the
subject could express lie said:
"During this time when every ounce
of food .-1 1 1 i f should he utilized to
the greatest advantage the feeding
of raw col tun seed is contrary to
every rule of conservation. 1 do
- not -peak from ihe standpoint of a
mill operator exerting influence for
.iddcd pro i'il but am prompted to
o from my knowledge of the
actual results of scientific experi-
ments and the unquestioned suc-
cess of those who are using cotton
eet'. mill products for feed. The
farmer ulio has his cotton seed mill
treated gets more food value as
an ret n il muscle flesh and bone
builder more actual cash heller re-
sults from the droppings of the
stock as a fertilizer for his land and
at the same time helps the Govern-
ment bv enabling the distribution of
the lint and oil resulting from the
mill process."
Mr. Lindsay further stated that
all of the mill feed product this year
are being li-vilnti'il among the lo-
cal feeders at the same price that
he could dispose of them in carload
lots. Local distribution entails a
far greater expense in practically
ever depa-.tment of their establish-
ment. The United States Government
has ruled that it is unlawful for a li-
cense to sell or feed raw cotton seed.
Tiiiv law was Dasscd to carry out
its policy of conservation ana it
J .stands to reason mat wnaiever is
helpful to the Government in the
wav of conservation must be of ben-
efit to every individual American
citizen for their interests are one
and inseparable.
If the United States Government
forbids the licensee to sell or feed
raw cotton seed in order to aid its
conservation policies the least any
individual farmer who wants to help
his Government as well as himself
can do. is to regulate himself by the
restrictions laid down by his Gov-
ernment to the licensee. There
should be no raising of the question
of individual rights. There should
be r.o selfishness.
As before stated the farmer who
persists in feeding his raw seed is
losing on every pound so utilized.
This is proven' by the following con densed
information taken from
Govern men i statistics:
I 'lire cottonseed meal contains
1'rotein 50.S1 ; fat 18.111.
(lats contains lVotein J 1.80;
fat 4..
Corn contains 1'rotein 6.83; fat
3.34.
Wheat contains Protein li.S ;
tit
Alfalfa Hay contain? Protein
14.28 : fat 2.15.
Of kll feed stuffs cotton seed
. weal is number one in protein and
1fat. Protein is the nitrogen con-
taining albumen substance of
TjpUflti similar in composition and
Gen. Henrv Hutch ins
of Texas to Return
to U.S. from France'
character of the white of an egg.
It is the most costly form of tood
and generally speaking has for its
unction the formation ot tlesii anu
muscle.
Raw cotton seed is harder on the
digestive organs of live stock. It
contains too much oil to be benefi-
cial. It retards the fattening process
of livestock lessens the milk pro-
duction of a cow and greatly les-
sens the fertilizing value of the re-
sultant manure.
Raw cotton seed is not necessary
for the proper maintenance of live
stock and if ever one head of stock-
died for lack of cotton seed feed
it should be placed on record. It
is better than no feed at all but a
poor feed at the best.
The Government price on a ton
of cotton seed. Lastern zone is
63.50. At the closest estimates the
most amount of actual and bene-
ficial feed to be produced from a
ton of cotton seed is about U'OO
pounds of cracked cake or meal and
about 500 pounds of hulls which the
farmer can buy for $32.50 Govern-
ment price. In dollars and cents
the loss to the farmer who feeds
raw cotton seed is $31.50 per ton
and with this he has an inferior
feed. Resides this he is depriving
the Government out of 145 pounds
of powder lint and about 35 gallons
of oil that is used both for food
purposes and for the manufacture of
nitroglycerine a most valuable
commodity for pushing the war.
There is no one argument in
favor of the feeding of raw cotton
seed. I'.very argument both from
financial and pat riot ic standpoints
calls for the discontinuance of this
practice. The way should he most
clear to every one indulging in ibis
practice.

ALLEGED CROOKED WORK
AT SHELL-WORKING
PLANT BE PROBED
Knoxville. Tenn. Oct. 5. Gov-
ernment officials civil and military
today were engaged in examinations
of the plant of the William J. Oliver
Manufacturing Company here fol-
lowing the arrest of Oliver and nine
officials and employes of his shell
making industry late yesterday on
a charge of conspiracy to defraud
Ihe government in the output of de-
fective munitions of war.
Oliver and his associates deny the
charges asserting that the arrests
were due to a "frame up." All were
released on bond shortly after their
arrest.
The plant continued in operation
today under the direction of T. P.
Roberts vice president of the com-
pany. It was said that a conference
between federal officials and offic-
ers of the company would be held
later to determine whether the
plant would be operated by Oliver
or his representatives or will be
taken over by the government.
Washington Oct. 5. Special at-
tention will be given by department
of justice officials to the prosecu-
tion of William J. Oliver wealthy
Knoxville Tenn.. manufacturer
and nine officers ofjiis company ar-
rested yesterday on charges of con-
spiracy' and fraud in famtfacture of
defectice shells for the army. If the
defendants are guilty the attorney
general will seek to make an exam-
ple of them.
FOR FRED STARK FUND
In a recent letter from Fred
Stark the voung man who was sent
to New Mexico in the hope of re-
covering from tuberculosis the
young man stated that his funds are
exhausted and while he had his
rent paid some months in advance
and a sufficient stock of provisions
on hand to last him sixty days or
more he would appreciate a little
more money to be used in case he
needs medical aid.
Although there was no definite call
for additional funds some of
Fred's sympathisers have seen fit
to send in a little. Some one left $2
at Frame's drug store and notified
Mrs. Julius Kahn it was for Fred
Stark. Neal Cross of F.Ik City
Okla. sent $1 through the mail to
the Ardmoreite to be forwarded to
Fred. ' .
Apparently Stark is not seriously
in need of funds now. although it
will probably be a relief to his mind
to know that he has a few dollars in
his pocket and an easy mind is a
good tonic lie seems to be slowly
regaining his health and should he
recover those who have made it
possible may well feel that theirs
is a good deed well done.
