while the steers in lot III, on corn, velvet beans in the pod, and cotton- 

 seed hulls, made an average daily gain of 2.922 pounds. This does 

 not mean that cottonseed meal is not a good meat producer, but that 

 the combination of feeds in the case of lot IV was not what it should 

 have been. When feeding cottonseed meal and cottonseed hulls only, 

 it is impossible to combine them so as to give a balanced ration. Then 

 again the farmer can grow such feeds as velvet beans, corn, and some 

 roughage (such. as crab-grass hay, or sorghum hay) much cheaper 

 than he can buy cottonseed meal and cottonseed hulls, and as good 

 and perhaps better and cheaper gains could have been obtained if lot 

 III had been fed crab-grass hay or sorghum hay instead of cottonseed 

 hulls.
