available potash in our .soibs has been
washed out and cotton rust has been
increa-sing. Al.so, our quick-fruiting;
varieties of cotton make a very heavy ■
demand on the cotton plant for pota-sh i
in a very short period of time. The-
crop must have an abundance of!
quickly available potash qn short no
tice or it begins to breakdown, with
shedding of leave.s and small bolls,
much immature fiber, and a general
reduction in yield.
On fields which have rusted in the
past an<r v^ere low-potash, complete
fertilizers have beenvhsed at planting,
the North Carolina Experiment Sta
tion now reoonamends “top-dres.sing
cotton with 125 to 150 pounds of
kainit or 50 to 100 pounds of potash
per acre,”
With a 600 pound application of fer
tilizer, the South Carolina Exepriment
Station found that a 5-10-0 (NPK)
fertilizer produced 557 pounds of see<l j
cotton per acre, a 5-10-5 produced:
1,015 pounds, and a 5-10-10 produced!
1,243 pounds per acre. In the tests!
the potash was equally effective at
planting or a.s a top-dresser. .
I In Georgia the experiment station.s
at Griffin and Tifton, as well as the
out-lying projects in various sec
tions of the state, have demonitrat-
ted that relatively large amount-s of
I potash are necessary to prevent cotton
irust. Applications of 50 to 200
pounds of extra muriate of potash per
acre have been used in the test.s.

THE SMITH FAMILY of Johnston, Edge-
ficld C^nty.'S. C., won prizes five times in nine South
Carolina Five-acre Cotton Contests. B. R. (“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. Leaves have been removed

pounds. In 1936, his wife, Mrs. Carrie B. 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.”
