But you can get Potash right here at home in any for I tilizor that contains COTTON SE lil) j MEAL.

In addition, it furnishes on the aver age 2 1/3 per cent available Phos phoric Acid, the other important ele ment of plant food, which, however, is not generally appreciated. Cotton seed meal makes a fertili zer which feeds the growing plant during its entire life, and leaves a most valuable humus In the soil to sustain succeeding crops. Cotton seed meal contains all that the other ? sources of ammonia have, and in ad dition POTASH. Bead the follow ing from recent Clemson Bulletin No. 17.
