A prominent South Georgia planter told the Georgia state capitol that the state loses about 3 million dollars yearly by feeding livestock almost exclusively corn. He switched to a mixed cotton seed meal and roughage diet after examining consular reports and university tests, noting healthier stock and lower costs.

He estimates cotton seed meal at about 75 dollars per ton given its value versus current price one third that, urging broader adoption alongside efforts by Dr. Babnsen and Methvin to curb impure feeds and eradicate cattle ticks.
