Political I^eaders Not Dumb During the presidency of James K, Polk, one of ‘ t^e famous private schools of Boston- was presided over by a salty . old gentleman whose speeches to the boys were long re membered. 1 (.('king down from the platform one morning, he said: “Young gentle- nun. a- I gaze into ycnir alert and in ti liigent laces 1 am thrilled at the thc'igbr ui- yotir latent possibilities. tVho eon-.-ay, what cont ribuUon~to the hi.'toiy (# your country may be in the - niak i;g ir, this room todqy?

No-poliniciar. is great until after he is dead, an’d then, given time enbughrhe becomes, a statesman. Washington’s letters to his wife and friends were full of bitter complaiat against the buffetings and sneers lev elled against him. Lincoln was looked on as a-pathetic mistake by a large _part of the intelligentsia of the na tion. 1 have seen a collection of .ser mons, which were preached in the churches of Boston which “speak of him as a man who. in .spite \)f lack of education and cultui’e, tried hard to do his best." Not one preacher sug gested that he was great. Woodfow Wilson was the impractical school master; Calvin Coolidge was “ah ac cident." Taken'as a whole, oar .presidents have been a fine lot. If they have not been “great” men the question is, whof* in any generation 'was grater or would have done the job better? While I exercise the citizeni’s right to criticize the president and congress, I sometimes grow a little weary of the complacent a.s.sumption of superiority on the part of our ^o-called “best” citizens. _Move Forward On Courage I u.sed to attend the annual sales convention of a company which is so bigr that most people think it has no problems at all. The man in the street fondly Imagines that all its'offidikls have to-do is to send out' the bill* and deposit 'the checks. The funny thing about the sales meetings Was'th%t one district manager after another would stand lip and tell how the company’s leading competitor was stealing all the big orders*. . _Laler LJiad occasion, lojendure • similar meeting held by this principal competitor, and there the story was exactly the same. Each of these two big companies was absolutely sure -that the other was getting the best of the battle. The other day the president of a railroad emitted a loud moan. He said, that of all industries the railroads have the toughest “problem.” 'They hove to pay high taxes and maintain | expensive road beds, while the busses' - rim gaily alongIhe concrete highways! built -witii taxpayers’ money. i } had hardly dried my eyes before li encountered the sales manager of aj bus company. Was he happy? He was not. According to him, the railroads have enough influence with state leg islatures tp get laws passed at almost every session making it harder for the trucks and busses. What is true of th^se big companies is even more course, of indi viduals. Each one sees his own trou bles large and, clear, and only, the suc cesses of the other fellow. General Grant was asked whether he was ever scared and if so how he had managvd to win his battles. He replied that he aliwajrs assumed that the enemy pfdb- ably was just as frightened as’h^ wds, maybe more.

With a liberal application of pota^, I can always coimt on good yidids. Last year on 168 acres 1 made 161 bales averaging 500 — pounds. One Add of 56 acres gave promise of a bale ax^ a half per acre until the August rain storm ruined part of the crop. ' “My cotton allotment was made on a five-year average, of just imder a bale per acre on a muchJarger acreage than the 161 acres in cotton last year. At (danti^ time I use 250 pounds of 12-2-6 (PNK) fertilizer per acre, with a side application just after chopping of 100 pounds of NV High- grade 20% Kainit and 50 pounds of quick-acting nitrogen material. My cotton never rusts. It matures tb the top limb. My gin turnout is above the average and the st^e good. , —-- - “Last year I had 200 acres in oats. My Fulghum oats produced 53 bushels per acre and my Rustproof produced 66 bushels per acre. This crop was fertilized with 100 pounds Of NV High-grade 20% Kainit and 50 pounds of quick- acting nitrogen -material per acre. - t* “With my system of soil building and crop rotation, potash is more valuable to me than any other fertilizer element. Don’t ever let the lack of potash limit your crop. Potl&h is too cheap and too easily applied.” A44.CORLET,oiSffUaTXC,saTa: “Last year I used 8-3-8 (PNK) fertilizer at planting and top-dressed with NV High-grade 20% Kainit and quick acting nitrogen. I made 33 bales on 36 acres in spite of the storm. Back in 1924 I made my first test with extra potash on cotton. Since then I have been using ft as a top-dresser to prevent Rust and increastf yields. I get closer fruiting with less stalk and less shedding. My cotfon stays healthy and withstands bad weather ^better. My cot ton buyer tells me that my staple runs much better than the average for the same variety of cotton.” T.C.DAVIS,o1IUooda.Ala.,M7i: “I operated 23 i^owa last year. I tried I to get all of my tenants to use 8-3-7 * (PNK) fertilizer instead of the usual 8-3-5. Wherever 8-3-7 was used we got a better crop. For example on 23 acres we ginned 22 bales. Across the road on identically the same grade of land we mact oiiiy eight bales on 16 acres fertilized with 8-3-5. In evei '. case -vhere we used 7%-potash fertilizer,the cotton hao ’lore bolls which were bigger and better matured. This ycai 1 anitoiugtoincreasetheootashinmvfertilizerto9%.” Rusty yellow and brown leaves in your cotton and Heavy shedding in August .are sure aigns that Cotton Rust has ruined your chances of get ting the full crop that is rightfully yours. But it's too late to do anything about Rust after these signs appear. Now is the time to PREVENT \RUST by using plenty of HV POTASH in your fertilizer or top-dressing. f COTTON RUST is extreme potash starvation. Rusty cotton plants are weak with hunger for potash. A little potash is not enough to prevent this starved condition. You must make sure you usTenough to produce a healthy. hi^*yielding. high-quality crop. i . * . ' -■ - ■ ! WHSN TOD PLaNTt Select and use fertiliser containing 8 to 10% potash. Ask your fertiliser about the very low extra cost of this better-balanced fertiliser. Figured in terms of ah acre the extra cost is so small it will surprise you. WHEN TOD CHOP OUTi Top-drbss with 200 pounds of NY High- grade 20% Kainit, or 100 pounds of NV Granular 50% Muriate per acre. When you buy Kainit or Muriate, or any form of potash, ask for and get genuine NY POTASH, the same potash that Southern farmers have used for more than 50 yearir NV POTASH not only prevents Rust, it also helps coiiSST Wilt and produces vigorous, healthy plants, with less shedding, larger bolls that ate easier to pick and better yields of uniform high-quality lint. Are you sure you have been using plenty of potash? Thousands of farmers have t proved that the average cotton fertilizer contains only about one-third ■Nh -- as much potash as cotton needs to produce ks best crop. They found that extra potash added extra yields ^d extra quality many times greater than its low extra cost. HV POTASH PAYSI ^ ^ N.V.
