Onca thay put antra potash on trial, they find it just tho thing thair cotton noads to pay thorn antra cash. For instance, there is V. S. BICKLEY, of Lexington, S. C., who writes: "Last year I planted cotton on two plots of sandy land which formerly had shown severe Rust. Both received the same fertilizer and top-dresser, except that one plot got 100 pounds of NV Muriate of Potash per acre. On this plot the yield was 2,444 pounds of seed cotton per acre, while the other plot yielded only 778 pounds. "My private gin showed 39% lint for the potash-top-dressed cotton as against 33% lint for the other cotton. The staples were 1 1/16 inches as compared to 15/16 inch. Before the cotton opened I weighed 50 green bolls from each plot taken from the same positions on the stalks. The potash bolls weighed 96 ounces and the rusty bolls 66 ounces. I just about broke even on the rusty cotton and made a profit of $76.24 per acre from the potash-top-dressed cotton." Then there is MRS. PEARL POLLARD, of Wedowee, Ala., who writes: "For three years our cotton was ruined by Rust. One acre, where the old house and bam stood, was completely eaten up in 1935. Rust struck before a boll matured and what little cotton we did get was so terrible to pick, that we named it ‘the old rusty acre.’ “My husband swore he’d never try this spot in cotton again. After it was planted in Austrian peas for com, I asked to use it as a test plot. He and the two boys hooted at me but finally agreed. April 20 it was planted with the same variety of cotton seed it grew before, using 200 pounds of 6-8-4 in with planting. In June, after chopping out, we top-dressed with 200 pounds of NV Kalnit. Our first rain came the 28th of July. “In 1935, a good season, we made 500 pounds of seed cotton on this acre. In 1936, we picked 1,700 pounds of seed cotton and didn't find a speck of Rust, except on the four rows which we left as a check in the middle of the field without NV Kainit. We are convinced about NV Kainit for Rust." W. A. GAINEY, of Dunn, N. C., wanted to plant a 9-acre field in cotton, but his children begged him not to. They said it would produce a lot of knotty, ludf-open bolls which nobody could pick, because it had always done this before. Mr. Gainey writes: “At an evening school our new agricultural teacher told us that plenty of potash would prevent Rust, so I decided to plant the 9-acre field. I used 500 pounds of fertilizer per acre and top-dressed with 100 pounds of Muriate of Potash and Nitrate of Soda. "Where I used to get short, inferior staple from ■m*n, knotty bolls, I got a good staple cotton from wide-open bolls that were easy to pick. My field remained healthy and produced large well-matured both to the top of the stalk. -f "Where I used to get about 200 to 250 pounda of low-grade lint per acre, I made slightly better than a bale of high-grade Hnt and I am —rifled that the 100 pounds of Muriate of Potash made the difference." _ DANA A. WHITFIELD, of Ty Ty, Georgia, beat his Father growing cotton last year and NV Kainit was the difference. Mr. Whitfield writes: "My Father and I planted our cotton on April 1 with the seed bed in just fair condition. We planted my field first and then his field, mrfng the same planter, same fertilizer distributor, — seed and same fertilizer. Everything waa exactly alike, the fields being about the same, except that I top-dressed with 200 pounds of Kainit per acre right after chopping out and he didn’t My Father's cotton was practically d—d from Rust by the 1st of August, but mine remained healthy right on through picking. There was no Rust or Wilt in my cotton. About one-third of the fruit on his cotton reached maturity, while all of mine was well matured. Our land was almost identical. We plowed and fer tilized alike, except that I used Kainit and he didn't. I made 456 pounds of seed cotton per acre more than he did and extra Kainit waa the difference." _____ ^ _____ Thousands of fananrs throughout tha Sonih havo found that tho small antra cost of antra potash roturns big dividends in !n- oraasad yields of hotter quality cotton. , .
