Side Dress Your Crops This cotton that is just now coming up should bc side dressed ns quick as it can be thinned out. If you side dress it with our 9-6 (nine per cont, ammonia and six per cent, potash) it will outgrow and make more than cotton that has been up a month and not side dress ed. Whore your cotton :s up, our 4-7-2 or our 4-10-2 is what it needs. The outlook for a big cotton crop is not good now, and whore you have a fair chance at a good crop you want to help it on as much as possible, and make every lock of cotton you can, as it looks now as if cotton would bring a good prico this fall. Fertilizer used in side dressing pays bettor than any fertilizer you uso. You havo gotton rid of tho grass so that will take none of it ; you havo thinned out your crop so that tho crop that is left gets all tho fertilizer you uso ; and then your crop gets tho full bonofit of it just when it is fruiting, whon tho strain is groatost. Give your crop plenty of plant food and it will not shed. It can stand drought better, insects and pests and diseases better, because it is bettor fod and strongor. It is estimated that for every dollar you pay out for side dressing, you get back from throe to four dollars. That is fino interest for a four months investment. It brings your cotton in earlier and early cotton weighs bettor than late cotton, and then 1,800 pounds of seed cotton that has been sido dressed makes as heavy a balo of cotton as 1,500 pounds that has not boon side dressed. There is moro lint on the seed, it pays to sido dross. There is nc mistake about that. It should bo appliod early. You want tho host, of course Get the best, and forgot tho rest.
