No matter how hard you try to rrmkV a fine crop, if cotton can’t get plenty of pekash it becomes weak V^d starved and has to quit. Leaves tiirn yellow and brown and drop off.

Thousands of tests by experiment stations and leading farmers prove it pays big dividends to give cotton a lot more potash than, the average fertilizer contains.
