The Cotton Seed Problem in Fgether View
The article argues cotton seed pricing harms farmers by linking seed value to oil mill tolls. It analyzes yields from one ton of seed, detailing meal hulls and oil output, and compares farmer costs for fertilizer components to seed value amid mill influence and potential monopolistic aims.
Demand fair exchange for seed with hulls in fertilizer trade
A Spartanburg Spartan editorial urges farmers to demand full value for seed hulls when selling to mills. It argues seed can be worth more as fertilizer, given current ammonia, potash, and phosphorus prices, and suggests farmer meetings with mill representatives to negotiate a fair price and prevent losses from selling seed purely for its meal.
