(“Uncle Bob”) Smith was second, in 1926 with a yield of 5,098 pounds of lint on five acres. He was fourth in 1928 with 3,815 pounds, first in 1929 with 5,770 pounds and sixth in 1931 with 5,145 More than 800 pounds of seed cotton per acre had been picked from this field before this photograph of Jake Smith’s cotton was made.

Smith, won first prize withsfi,640 pounds of lint on five acres, the largest yield produce^Jtt nine contests in which approximately 9,000 farmers entered. The staple length was 1V32 inches. Mrs. Smith's Record-breaking Yield Speaking of his wife’s record-breaking 1936 yield. Uncle Bob said: “Mrs. Smith planted Coker’s Cleve-wilt No. 4 seed and used 1.450 pounds of fertrlizer per acre, 300 pounds of which was NV MURIATE OF POTASH. She used some nitrogen as a top-dresser and the remainder of the fertilizer b^re planting, putting it down in three bands. She sure made me keep a close eye on that patch of cotton. For years I used 6% POTASH in my regular cotton fertilizer, but Clemson College said I was short on potash, so I started using 10% POTASH. I made larger yields and the 10% POTASH completely prevented Rust.’’ Potash Stops Rust and Starts Profits FTodudng good yields of cotton seems to run in the Smith family.. Jake Smith, of Johnston, S. C., son of Uncle Bob and Mrs. Smith, says this about his 1937 crop: “I made three bales per acre but didn’t pick but two. The boll weevil got the other one. Daddy used a lot of potash so I followed him. Counting all the potash my cotton received, it adds up to 300 pounds of MURIATE OF POTASH per acre. If you were to put this in 500 pounds of fertilizer the potash would be 30%. The old slogan is right-POTASH STOPS RUST.” IT wni PAY YOU TO USE MORE NV POTASH.
