You are richer today than you were yesterday . . if you have laughed often, given something, for given even more made a new friend today, or made stepping-stones cf stumbling blocks; if you have thought mere in terms of “thyself" than “my self,” or if you have managed to be cheerful even if you were weary. Yru are richer tonight than ycu were this morning ... if you have taken time to trace the handiwork of G:d : n the commonplace things of life, or if you have learmc) to court out things which really do pot count, or if you have been a little blinder to the faults of friend and f:e. You are far richer if a little child has smiled at you, and a stray dog has licked your hand, or if you have looked f r the best in others ard given others the be^t in you.—Ancnyrmus.

When their crop makes a quick start “down hill” in July and August, they fail to recognize Rust as the real cause. Unless Rust is very severe its signs are hard to detect in the field. Cotton Rust is potash starvation. No matter how hard you try to make a fine crop, if cotton can’t get plenty of potash it becomes weak and starved and has to quit. Leaves turn yellow and brown and drop off. Bolls are small, poorly filled out and hard to pick. Yields are poor, lint is low quality and not uniform. Top-dressing with 100 pounds of NV Granular 50% Muriate or 200 pounds of NV High-grade 20% Kainit per acre keeps cotton green and healthy, maturing fruit until a full drop is made (includ ing a good top crop). It PREVENTS RUST, helps control Wilt and produces strong, vigorous plants with less shedding, larger bolls that are easier to pick and better yields of uniform, high-quality lint. - # Thousands of tests by experiment stations and leading farmers prove it pays big dividends to give/cotton a lot more potash than the average fertilizer contains. In these tests the many extra pounds of valuable seed cotton added to the crop by potash top-dressing were very profitable because they were produced at such low cost. The time to top-dress with potash is when you chop out. This balances your plant food and helps you get greater benefits from other more expensive elements in your fertilizer. Use 100 pounds of NV Granular 50% Muriate per acre, or 200 pounds of NV High-grade 20% Kainit, or a nitrogen-potash, mixed-goods top-dresser con taining plenty of NV POTASH.

NV POTASH Stops dust Starts Profits m : - v Typical bolls from the field just above. Lint from the po^asb- top-dressed cotton measured a full inch and was uniform, high quality. Lint from the other cotton measured seven- eighths and was not uniform, with some long and some short fibres. r l I N. V.

No fertilizer was applied to this crop of Austrian winter peas which followed cotton in the field just above. 1 his difference in yield was due en tirely to the residual effect of the potash top dressing applied to the cotton.
