The cotton crop in North Carolina, 
South Carolina, Georgia for 1935 will 
amount to slightly less than two and a 
half million bales. 
This crop will yield the farmers of 
these three states one and a quarter 
million tons of seed. The value of these 
seed at oil milling prices prevailing this 
fall is around forty-two and a half 
million dollars.

FARM RELIEF FOR THE 
OIL MILLER 
The average ton of cotton seed will yield 
315 pounds of crude oil and one thousand and 
five pounds of 7% meal. On the present 
market (January 1st) oil is worth 914 cents 
per pound and meal, $23.00 per ton. The com¬ 
bined value of oil and meal per ton of average 
seed is therefore $40.69. 
Would it benefit farmers and oil mills of 
these three states if the oil milling value of 
the average seed were increased by 10% ? It 
certainly would by about four millions of 
dollars. 
$6.22 PER TON INCREASE 
What we are going to tell you next is 
backed by scientific chemical analyses made 
recently on sample of our Farm Relief Strain 
3 cotton seed grown in Piedmont North Caro¬ 
lina. It showed a yield of 366 pounds of oil 
per ton and 1,134 pounds of meal. The value 
of a ton of these seed for milling purposes 
would be $46.90—a difference of $6.22 value 
over a ton of average seed. This is consider¬ 
ably more than 10% increase. 
The average test of the seed coming from 
the same section as the high test sample men¬ 
tioned above to date this fall is 322 pounds of 
oil and 1,026 pounds of meal. These figures 
were secured from a reliable oil mill in the 
Piedmont section. This shows a difference of 
44 pounds oil and 108 pounds of meal extra 
yield of the Farm Relief Strain 3 sample. 
This difference is more than 10%. 
For the past three years careful scientific 
analyses have been made of our Farm Relief 
Strain 3 cotton, as well as many of our other 
varieties. Comparing these with the average 
three year test on all seed grown in this sec¬ 
tion, Farm Relief Strain 3 has a difference in 
value of $4.77 per ton. Four and two-thirds 
gallons of oil and 134 pounds of meal, a diff¬ 
erence worth having. 
SEED BREEDING DIVIDENDS 
The oil and meal value of the different 
strains of the same variety of cotton vary 
greatly as do the lint percentage, thinness of 
foliage and staple length, etc. It is an inter¬ 
esting fact that Farm Relief Strain 3 and 4 
averaged much higher in oil and in meal than 
the previous Strains of Farm Relief. In our 
breeding work we consider first, the dollars 
per acre value of the lint and if it is possible 
for us to combine with that, seed of very high 
milling value we do so, for, it is our desire 
to furnish our customers with the kind of 
seed that will put most dollars in their 
pockets.
