Nitrogen Is Big Factor in Better Yields of Cotton A number of tests conducted by Southern experiment stations clearly show the importance of nitrogen In fertilizing cotton. At the South Caro lina and Alabama Stations, for exam ple, experiments have shown that the increased yields of "cotton obtained by increasing the dbiount of nitrogen ia a fertilizer were much greater than where increased amounts of either phosphoric acid or potash were applied. _ Nitrogen must be relied upon for increasing yields per acre, and when an insufficient amount is furnished In the fertiizer spplied at planting it is obvious that side dressings must be msde to Insure the protLable produc tion of the - crop which is obtained through high yields per aero. Side dressings of nitrate of soda are im portaut for furnishing this nitrogen because the average mixed fertilizer spplied at planting is out of propor tIon as regards the percentage of nl trogen. Home mixing of fertilizers is in creasing fh popularity. By buying his nitrate of soda, acid phosphate and potash and mixing his own fertilizer, the farmer is absolutely sure of the materials be la using, known that he is getting the beet and generally eavee a nice sum of money. Where home mixing Is followed It le often advis able to put only a part of tha nitrate of soda under the crop and the re malnder as a side dressing after chop Piag.

Fracture finally occurs as the result of almost pure tension, and the resist ance to breaking is a little less than twice that of a rod of the same cross- section subjected to a straight pull. As the ring increases in diameter tnere appear* to be a slight approach toward equality, with double the strength of a bar. Thus a 8-inch ring made of three-quarter Inch iron broke at 194 tons, a 4-lnch ring at 19.9 tons and a 6-inch ring at 20 tons, the strength of a bar of the same metal being 104 tons. pad reading and begin to pr*y» the Lord be coold heel her hai that she had Mm faith—a« she said she had the faith* die hand stretched <n|t perfectly whole as the other.

In Tire Educational Meetings we were shown, by means of motion pictures, charts, tire samples ai)d complete engineer*, ing data, the details of Firestone tire design and construction—and how Fir®-- stone and Oldfield tires and tubes are made in the world’s most efficient ana economical rubber factories. • A1 ►A* ’ yi-r Firestone pioneered the original low-pressure tire and made it practical byf ** i Gum-Dipping. The motion pictures showed us how the cords of the carcail are dipped in a rubber solution, thoroughly saturating and every fiber of every cord with rubber. Simple demonstrations and tests illustrated die great advantage of this process, which supplies the extra strength to withstand the extra flexing strains of low-pressure construcdon—one of me reasons why Firestone Gum*Dipped Tires are establishing $uch unheard-of mileage records. .a Low Cash Prices OLDFIELD TIRES 30x3 Fabric . . $5AS 30x3 V* Fabric . . 6.85 30x3^ Cord . . . 7.35 29x4.40 Balloon . 8.45 32x4 Cord . . 13.40 31x5.25 Balloon. 15.35 33x6.00 Balloon. 18.35 Oldfield Takes are We learned why the Firestone Balloon Tread- gives extra safety, comfort and Iona wear.
