The Government report puts it Ti per cent. Some sections of the State may have better stands than we have, and as taking it up one side and down the other, our stand as well as we can gather, is around 66 2-3 or 70 per cent of a perfect stand. While this is not ideal, still there is enough col ton up to make a good crop of cotton if *you will feed it and nurse it and pomper it. If you will side dress it once or twice, putting from 150 to 200 pounds of fertilizer to the acre, each time, you get all out of your crop that can be gotten. And that is all that you can do. You can7get more out of this 66 2-3 per cent of a st^nd by feeding it and nursing it ?rid 'p?ni pering it than you can get out bf an ordinary stand where you don't side dress it. Su^liT^::liit^: dressing this crop, you want the very best goods made for this purpose. It is no time for experi ments, the business of this crop require th haste, it is no time to take chances, you want a sure thing. The side dressing fertilizer made by the An derson Phosphate & Oil Company is the best made. Remember that side dressing makes more bolls and larger bolls, stands drought better, stands anything better, it is better fed and is stronger. Remember, too, that 1300 pounds of seed cotton that has been side dressed, wiUmake as heavy a bale of cotton as 1500 pounds that has not been side dressed. But it takes the best fertili zer to do this. When you buy side dressing get the best. Get the best, and forget the rest. a OIL co. It will pay you to pomper your corn crop too this year.
