N V POTASH
Congratulates the Winners
South Carolina Five-acre Cotton Contest
*
CONGRA TULA TIONS TO: Mrs. C, B. Smith, Mrs P. Ms Arant, Mrs Js F.
and other prize-winners in the contest % % NV POTASH SALUTES YOU!
CLEMSON COLLEGE EXTENSION SERVICE awarded
first prize in South Carolina's Five-acre Cotton Contest to
Mrs. Carrie B. Smith of Johnston, Edgefield County. Mrs.
Smith's yield on five acres was 6,640 pounds of lint, with
a staple length of IVm inches. This was the largest yield
produced during the 11 years of the contest in which approximately
9,000 farmers have taken part. Second prize
went to P. M. Arant of Pageland, Chesterfield County, S. C.,
who had a yield of 6,265 pounds of lint. J. F. Hopkins of
Mayesville, S. C., stood high in the contest, winning first
prize in the middle distHct with a yield of 6,080 pounds
of lint, which was the third largest yield. The winners were
announced February 26, 1937. The contest was inaugurated
in 1926 to improve the staple length of cotton and
produce cotton more economically through improved fertilization,
cultivation and boll weevil control.
B. R. ("Uncle Bob") SMITH, husband of
Mrs. Carrie B. Smith, who won first prize,
with a yield of 6,640 pounds of lint on five
acres, says: "Mrs. Smith planted Coker's
Cleve-wilt No. 4 seed and used 1,450 pounds
of fertilizer per acre, 300 pounds of which '
was NV MURIATE OF POTASH. She
used part of the nitrogen as a top-dresser
and the remainder of the fertilizer before
1 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 I
College said I was short on potash, so I
started using 10% potash. I made larger
yields and the 10% potash completely prevented
Rust."

F. M A1ANT, Fag*land, S. C., winner
of second prize, with a yield of 6,265
pounds of lint on five acres, says: "My
five acres got a ton of my regular fertilizer
at planting and then 2,800
pounds of top-dresser composed of
Nitrate of Soda and NV MURIATE
OF POTASH in equal parts. On my
general crop I put down 300 to 400
pounds of complete fertilizer per acre
at planting, chop out and then put 100
pounds of Nitrate of Soda and 100
pounds of NV MURIATE OF POTASH
per acre around it with a dis- i
tributor. I woi*k it fast and with any
kind of a decent season, we always
make a good crop of cotton."
P. M. A RANT
Pageland, S. C.
J. F. HOPKINS, Mayesville, S. C., who
had the third largest yield, which was
6,080 pounds of lint on five acres, says:
"My five acres received 800 pounds
per acre of 9-4Vi-5V? (PNK) fertilizer
at planting and just after chopping,
150 pounds of top-dresser made of
equal parts of Nitrate of Soda and
NV MURIATE OF POTASH. I put
my fertilizer out about 15 days ahead
of planting and got a good stand. It
was very dry for a long time but really
turned out to be a good cot. n year.
We find that a nitrogen-po.ash topdresser
is fine for small grains and the
land improves from year to year. We
use this top-dresser on corn also."
If on may not aspire to produce record yields; however,
you certainly are interested in the best method of profitable
cotton production. Plenty of NV POTASH in your
fertilizer and top-dresser prevents Rust, helps control Wilt
and produces strong, vigorous plants with less shedding,
larger bolls that are easier to pick and better yields of
uniform, high quality lint .... NV POTASH PAYS!
