\7 OU know how easy it is for milk flow

you know that by feeding cotton plants
liberally they are bound to make a heavy
cotton production.
I? ?.
The feed you give those cotton plants
iqiust be right kind and right quantity.
Best results seem to come from 150 to
200 pounds of Nitrate of Soda applied
as a side-dressing at chopping time.
This is especially needed if you have
cottonseed meal or some other slowacting
source of ammonia under your
plants. For cotton needs the strong,

and make progress ahead of the boll weevil.
YooRptWm plants, getting this food right when

can get off of fields that are not side-dressed.
