From "Ambassador of Good Will and
Prince of Wit and Wisdom''—By
P. 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.” —-

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.
