I I Easy to Keep it Up I When you experience the pleasure of | seeing the figures in your pass-book show 1 a steadily increasing balance, aided by the semi-annual compound interest credits, it is easy to keep up the good ! work. I Loan & Savings Bank I CAPITAL $100,000.00 Qive Your , COTTON L LAYING RATION, HAVE you got a few hens around the pjace? You know how the right feed at the right time o' year will help to start them laying and keep them laying. Same way with cotton. A little extra "feed" at chopping time does wonders with it. Thousands of clear headed men just like you have proved that side-dressing with 150 to 200 pounds of Nitrate of Soda gives them handsomely in? creased yields, over and above fields not side-dressed. No matter what fertilizer you have under your cotton, sidedressing at chopping time helpfc it to set its squares and get a strong healthy gi owth right when it is most needed. That beats the boll weevil and makes bale-to-the-acre yields easily possible. Side-dressing does great things for corn, too. Do you want to make sure of a paying cotton crop? It is easy. Just cut out this advertisement and write your name and address in the margin. Then m^il it to us. We will send you, without one penny of cost, our little book ''Side-Dressing Cotton and Corn." Our manager is a practical cotton grower and knows just what conditions call for here in the Palmetto State. I Duncan, S. C. I " I have been using Nitrate \ of Soda for about twenty five years with fine rei suits. On cotton I have i side-dressed with Nitrate J of Soda immediately after I chopping out at the rate \ of 50 to 100 lbs. per acre. \ Since the boll weevil came I I have used Nitrate of F \ Soda under my Cotton to I \ push it forward and make I if early as possible. On com, I put 75 to 100 lbs. ?round the crop when knee to waist high with / good results. On oats I broadcast 100 lbs. per acre about March 1st." J. W. Gaston, j r of Oaaton's Cleveland St. Matthews, S. C. " We have used Nitrate of Soda with splendid and profitable results since we began farming in 1908. Since tlfe advent of the Boll Weevil, one half to two thirds of the ammonia used in our mixtures under the cotton has been derived from Nitrate of ! Soda. This fertilizer has been mixed to analyze 10-4-2. After first~or secj ond choppings, according to conditions and seasons, 100 to 150 pounds of Nitrate of Sod* ia applied as top-dressing. In 1925, with only 500 /6s. per acre of the above named mixture and 100 | 'bs. of Nitrate of Soda, applied last week in May, we produced an average I of 1800 lbs. of seed ootton | per acre. j ? I In attaining rapid and | heavy fruiting, we h*+x l found Nitrate of Soda to \ be of inestimable value." i The Wannamaker 1 Cleveland Seed Firms, W. W. Wannamaker, Chief Plant Breeder s t:.
