Production of cotton seed. — For each bale of 500 pounds there is usually produced a half ton of cotton seed. The value of the seed produced in 1908 has been estimated! at more than $92,000,000. More than half of the cotton seed pro- duced are manufactured into cotton-seed oil, meal, cake, hulls, and linters, — the latter be- ing a very short, low- priced fiber adhering to the seed after ginning. The remainder of the crop is used as food for cattle, as seed for plant- ing, and as fertilizer. 353. Produ
