(W The biggeet and beet news you will find In the new fertilizer price lists is the very small difference in cost between a low- grade, low-potash fertilizer and a fertilizer well balanced with plenty of NV POTASH. For example, compare 8-4-4 (PNK) fer tilizer with 8-4-8 fertilizer. The 8-4-8 con tains 2558 more actual plant food, yet it costs you only a fraction more than the 8-4-4. Figured In terms of an acre the extra cosjt is so small it will surprise you! This year it costs you much less than ever before to give your crops the extra potash they need to pay you extra casfl. If you have hesitated before, now is the time to act! Select and use the better-balanced mixture—the fertilizer containing plenty of potash. POTASH PAYS! • ^ ' | —T' " r -- —I mFmmmsmmm DR. H. P. COOPER, of Clemson CoUege, S. C., says that whera cotton rusts badly the crop needs as much potash as is contained in 8SS to l.MS pounds of 8-3-3 (PNK)fertU!ser per acre. “Therefore it is desirable to supplement the ordinary fertilizer mixtures with M to 1SS pounds of Muriate of Potash per acre, of Its equivalent in Manure Salts or Kainlt, he explains. T. M. HENDON, of Roanoke. Ala., says: “Extra potash Increased my yield 228 pounds of seed option per acre. The potash did not entirely control Rust as we had lots of rain, but it was easy to see the difference. My neighbors could easily trace the potash plot in my cotton. The boils were larger and easier to pick.” M. D. RICE, of Monroe, N. C., says: “Extra potash made my cotton much easier to pick. 1 figure this difference alone would pay for the extra potash. Where 1 used only my regular fer tilizer and no extra potash, my cotton took the Rust early and had lots of bolls that did not mature good." C. E.'LOKEY. of Thomson. Ga., produced l\i bales per acre with complete fertilizer plus nitrogen-potash top-dresser. Note degree of maturity, well-opened bolls and how the cotton sticks in the burs.

This is true through out the entire South on both clay and sandy soils. What does this meant It means that the average fertilizer, used for cotton in the past, did not contain sufficient NV POTASH. AnyagriculturaLauthority willteUyou that Rust is simply potash starvation. If you jsaw the slightest signs of Rust in your cotton last season this means that the yields and quality of your next crop will be reduced unless you PREVENT RUST. Rust How mmmm ■m PREVENT RUST by using extra NV POTASH either in your fertilizer at planting or as a top-dressing when you chop out. If Ruit has been very Severe it will pay you to use both methods. If you have been using a fertilizer containing only 3 or 4% potash, select and use a fertilizer containing often reduces the yield by 20% without showing signs that are easily visible in the field. Bad Rust will reduce the yield by 50% or even more. Cotton Rust is the last stage of potash starvation. Rusty cotton plants are weak with hunger for potash. A little potash is not enough to correct this starved condi- tion. You must make sure you use enough to balance the other elements of your fer tilizer and produce a healthy, high-yielding, high-quality crop. 8 to 10% potash. You will be surprised at the small extra cost of the higher-potash fertilizer^ When you chop out, top-dress with 200 pounds of NV High-grade 20% Kainlt, or 100 pounds of NV 50% Muriate of Potash per acrv. This extra NV POTASH not only prevents Rust, it also helps control Wilt and produces vigorous, healthy plants, with less shedding, larger bolls that are easier to pfck, and better yields of uniform, higb- quality lint.
