Cotton needs extra potash to prevent rust, reduce wilt, and increase yields. Without sufficient potash, cotton plants become weak and show lack of vigor. Leaves turn 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 ap pears, a liberal 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. The Mississippi and Arkansas Ex periment Stations have found that the addition of potash will decrease wilt and greatly in crease yields. Potash should be applied 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.
