This table shows the high value of the cotton seed, whether 

 raw, roasted or boiled, and also of its by-product, cotton-seed 

 meal, for beef production. No grain raised at the North equals it, 

 pound for pound, for beef production. When we reflect that for 

 every pound of cotton fiber grown there are two pounds of seed, 

 no argument is needed to convince us that the South is capable 

 of producing the beef required for home consumption. 



Connell found, as shown by the preceding table, that the cheap- 

 est ration was raw cotton seed with iibout equal weights of corn
