Dr. Frank, j who made his home in the same sec tion, and Mr. Anthony, who.s'e home was near Rabun Creek on the old Laurens-Princeton road. Among Dr. Frank Fuller’s offspring were also two doctors.

Call— JAMES, W. CALDWELL At 38 TOP-DRESSING COTTON with 125 pounds of KAINIT per acre produced 364 pounds ^ORE seed cotton per acre, or top dressing with 250 pounds of KAINIT per acre produced 445 pounds MORE seed cotton per acre in tests conducted by the North Carolina Experiment Station oh fields damaged by Rust in previous years. The extra cotton that KAINIT produced represents a better profit than most farmers made when lint was 12 cents per pound. Figure it out for yourself: Subtract the cost of the KAINIT from the value of the extra cotton that KAINIT produced. The thble below shows the results of this experiment. Study it carefully. All plats received 400 Ibs.^ „of 3-8-3 per acre at plant ing and too lbs. of nitrate of soda top-dressing Where NO KAINIT was used as top-dressing Top-dressed with KAINIT at 125 pounds' per acre Top-dressed with KAINIT at 250 pounds per acre .

Note that the KAINIT top-dressing not only produced many extra pounds of seed cotton, it also impipved the quality of the entire crop. KAINIT produced heavier bolls, heavier seed* more lint per seed, better grade, longer staple and stronger fibers.
