"Careful fertilizer demons! rations Indicate that excellent results can bo obtained when till the phosphoric add and half of the potash is applied in the fall nn<l that in (he spring the (roes should ho given potash and lliej nitrogen necde<l", says Mr. Rawl For bearingtre?\s, the roeonunendu-1 Hon is 100 pounds of muriate or potash ! (."?() per cent! per acre ami 100 pounds j of nltratoc of soda (it? per cent) per! acre (or equivalent amount of nitto-' gen from other suiiai?le lennvos) If a hoavy Krowth of Austrian peas or vetch is disked Into the soil, or If barnyard manure Is Applied, probably no additional nitrogen will be needed; but with a ryo cover crop or no cover ,*Top at all. later applications of nitrogen should bo given as needed. Mr. Rawl cautions that if there Is insufficient nitrogen |>oor growth will result unless there is an ample supply of available nitrogen in the soil; on the other hand, if too much nitrogen is applied, excessive growth of twigs and foliage is likely, resulting in poorly colored fruit and fruit with poor keeping or shipping qualities. The same mixture is recommended for young trees, but of course tin* amount should be decreased in proportion to the age of the J. roes to avoid injury or even k i L^HPP Trees Just planted should receive not more than one-fourth pound per tree of this mixture. The horticulturist advises that those growers who do not care to purchase and mix materials can obtain satisfactory results by using a-10-0-10 or X-0-X fetlllzor.

' ^(6(jifiruKf ^Y^PLENTYolPOTASH OOUTHERN farmers, planning for more income in 1941, should carefully consider applying enough potash in their fertilizer to meet the needs of their crops. Not only is plenty of potash necessary to increase yields, but it is the plant food which improves quality. FOR COTTON, a, recommended application at planting time is 400-600 lbs. per acre of a fertilizer containing 6-10% potash. At chopping time, more can be added in a nitrogen-potash top-dresser containing the .equivalent of 50-100 lbs. of muriate of potash. FOR LEGUMES, the high potash requirement should be met by using 300-400 lbs. of fertilizer containing 8-10% potash either as a top-dressing or when * seeding the crop. FOR TRUCK, fertilizers containing 7-10% potash should be used to meet thy needs of these intensively grown crops. Rates of application vary from 8002,000 lbs. per acre depending upon the crop and fertility of the soil. Ask your county agent or experiment station how much available potash your soil will supply and how much to add to carry your crops through to more profit. Your fertiliser dealer will point out to you how little extra it costs to apply enough. Write us for our free booklet on how much plant food crops use. <? Ever stop to figure why Nature gaVe you both a nose and a mouth to breathe through? Your nose, barring colds, docs all right for ordinary purposes. But go up against some heavy exercise ?and you can open up your mouth as well and increase the intake of oxygen. Your 1941 Buick with Compound Carburetion* works something like that. ? Its "nose," which is the forward one of your two thrift-size carburetors, does a grand job of supplying "breath" for your engine on normal jobs. But when the time comes that your engine has to dig in for a tough pull or a burst of power, then your extra foot pressure on the gas treadle opens up the "mouth"and your engine "breathes" through'two carburetors. Simple, ijn't it? Yet look what happens: Your engine always consumes gas according to the need. ! By simply taking it easy when easy does it and breathing deep when the j work piles up, your power plant gets as much as 10% to 15% more mileage from the same gasoline. ^ ^ That, in these days, is nothing to be sneezed at. / So why don't you U get the whole story v from your Buick \ dealerP I | Optional at (light extra cost on Buick Special models, standard on all others tQir 7|j ?orth??mmm0 coup* y delivered at Flint, Mich.
