J. O Brien. “WILL ROGERS was ever eager to extoiul a helping hand to anyone in the other ways than by gifts of money. Joel McCrea, the movie star told how Rogers aided him at a time when he was discouraged and about to abandon his career in the films. lie met the genial Oklahoman on the movie lot one day just when the outlook seemed blackest. “ ‘What’s the matter, kid?’ sang out Rogers. ‘YoyMook like voiir last friend had busted into the Y nk stole your life savings and then eloped with your wife.’ * “McTroa ‘oY Rogvr. i :•* vlmlc dim Y had about decided to give up. Rogers listened patiently. * C “ ‘Son,’ counseled Rogers', ‘what you need is to uct some good dirt soil under vour feet. Get vourself a piece of ground that you can call your own, a place where vou can run awav and hide and invij,e your soul to go along. Some place where you can get your perspective hack. Plant something; grow something; raise something. Get some animals and then see how vou like it.’ “McCrea bought a thousand-acre ranch in the San Fernando Val ley, and Rogers advisgd him on the purchase of cattle, horses and farming implements. Crops were planted, and McCrea found life was not so drear as* he thought. As his outlook changed, so did bis luck. Success came his way as he was given better and better parts.” —- * , J Y~- Apply 100 Pdunds Muriate of Potash at Chopping Time. ■ RUST IS A SURE SIGN OF POTASH STARVATION. Cotton needs extra potash to prevent rust, reduce wilt, and increase yields. Without sufficient potash, cotton plants be come weak and show lack of vigot. Leaves <tum yellow and drop off prematurely. Bolls are small, poorly developed, and hard to pick. Yields are low, lint is of poor quality and lacks uniformity. - * The South Carolina Experiment Station has found that where cotton rust appears, a liberal t*- application of muriate of potash per acre should be applied as a top-dresser. This is in addition to the potash in the fertilizer mixtures used at planting. a * * • The Mississippi and Arkansas Experiment Stations have found that the addition of potash will decrease wilt and greatly increase yields. POTASH SHOULD BE APPLIED TO COTTON AS A TOP-DRESSER IMMEDIATELY AFTER CHOPPING. WHERE RUST IS BAD, 100 POUNDS OF MURIATE OF POTASH PER ACRE WILL PAY LARGE DIVIDENDS. AMERICAN POTASH INSTITUTE, INC.
