The President’s recommendation to tax the undistributed profits of cor porations is not entirely a* one-sided suggestkn. It is true that some cor- porations have piled up surpluses by paying their stockholders only a small part of the profits. Something can l>e said f' r and against this practice. The greatest corporation in the coun try is the American Telephone and Telegraph company. Years ago it set aside a large part of its earnings. It paid nine dollars a share dividend to its stockholders when the earnings were probably two or three times that much; then all during the years of depression—and now—it c ntinues to pay nine dollars a share though the earnings were—and are—much less, j It maintained its dividend by the use of its surplus. s rmetimes have to ci j>end on their ac cumulated funds to me^et emergencies of the press notices permits one to think that the mills and packers have received 1 a great bounty or bonus from the government in the amoun': of pr eessing taxes refunded to them by order of the Supreme Court of the United States. The truth is quite another matter. Writing confidentally to a friend one mill president. says “All funds which we have gotten back from the government will be turnec over to our cust mers and then we will have to take additional funds out of what little surplus we had and mark our inventories down to the present market value cf the cloth, as well a s marking our stock in process in the mills down to its present value. Wh.n all of this is done, we will c me ut at the little end of the horn. If our t % Great corporations Federal and State governments' con '.inue their present policies, it will not be long until many mills will be closed growing out of floods, fires etc. «' There is another side: S me cor porations have accumulated surpluses because they have paid nothing to their stockholders. They branch out and try all s rts of enterprises with the stockholders’ money, but they pay nothing to the stockholders. Of course the fficers and directors col lect theii pay with great regularity and enthusiasm. That practice of! paying themselves and not their stock holder will cause some enthusiastic support for the President’s pr gram. storms,! up, and there will be thousands and thousands r f employees on some one’s hands to provide for. “Our stockholders who invested their funds in these pr perties have expected', and justly so, a ^reasonable it turn on their investment. They have tailed to get this for many years an 1 have seen their properties de cline in value, losing the greater part < f the interest which they first invest ed.

Hundreds of tests by leading experiment stations and the prac tical experience of thousands of farmers conclusively prove that cotton can use at excellent profit two to three times as much 1 ... potash as the average fertilizer contains. It is poor economy to use sufficient nitro gen and phosphoric acid to produce good yields and then let your crop suffer from potash starvation. Especially when potash costs so little. Cotton Rust is extreme potash starvation. Anybody can recognize bad Rust. It ruins a cotton crop. But many farmers lose 20% or more of their yields without know ing that Rust has robbed them. Unless Rust is very severe its signs are hard to detect. It will pay you to make sure that you are not losing many valuable pounds of seed cotton because of potash starvation. Simply use sufficient NV POTASH to balance the other elements of your fertilizer and produce a profitable crop. Use it in your fertilizer at planting, or as a top-dressing, or both if Rust has been very severe. . - . ' * * - . I i — WHSN YOU PLANT: Select and use fertilizer containing 8 to 10% potash. Ask your fertilizer man about the very low extra cost of this better-balanced fertilizer. Figured in terms of an acre the extra cost is so small it will surprise you. WHEN YOU CHOP OUT: Top-dress with 200 pounds of NV High- grade 20% Kainit, or 100 pounds of NV Granular 50% Muriate per acre. When you buy Kainit or Muriate, or any form of potash, ask for and get genuine NV POTASH, the same potash that Southern farmers have used for more than 50 years. NV POTASH, used in sufficient quantities, returns many times its cost in extra yields of seed cotton. NV POTASH not only prevents Rust, it also helps con trol Wilt and produces vigorous, healthy plants, with less shedding, larger bolls that are easier to pick and better yields of uniform, high-quality lint.
