■ IP IIV w -'iWIII" /IP THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1»S7. rn RARNmOX PEOPLE-SENTINEL, BARNWELL, SOUTH CAROLINA PAOB 212 BALES ON 212 ACRES J. E. BRIM, of Dawson, Ga., has had 35 years of experience in farming. This has taught him that good fertilizer and good seed are essential to successful cotton pro duction. He produced 251 bales on 225 acres in 1Q34, 178 bales on 198 acres in 1935, and 212 bales on 212 acres in 1936. He blames his low yield in 1935 on a long drought. He uses 400 pounds of S-O'-S NPK fer- i tilirer per acre ' at planting and top- dresses with 200 pounds of 14-0-12 after his cotton is chopped out. Mr. Brim says: “Potash in my top-dresser prevents Rust and gives me better maturity, better lint turn-out and better matured seed. I sell over 3,000 bushels of Wilt-resistant Seed annually. The cost of potash is low and I find high-potash fertilizers profitable for all farm crops.” CONTROLS WILT E. F. CALHOUN, of Eufaula, Ala., says: “Cotton, well-fed with NV Potash, weighs 10 to 15 pounds more per basketful than cotton grown with just my regular fertilizer. The plants look healthier and fruit closer. Where I had MV Potash I had no Wilt but lots of stalks died where I had only my regular fertilizer.’* FEWER BOLU MAKE A POUND **Look at that top crbp, M aaysH.J. JOHNSON, of Wagenerj S. C. “That’s where extra potash gets in its best work with large, fully matured bolls right up to the top of the stalk. It takes fewer of these bolls to make a pound. Plenty of potash makes the cotton pick better and im proves the staple. “Since 1934 I have been giving my cotton three times as much potash as I did before and have been making considerably more cotton. Rust has been stopped in most of my fields but some spots need still more potash. I use a good complete fertilizer at planting and extra potash as a top-dressing along with my nitrogen. The use of 3-8-8 NPK fertilizer at planting is growing in our section.” Mr. Johnson, standing in Ms pet patch wMch pro- ' duced 3,657 pounds of lint on three acres. He doubled Ms potash application in this field. l.OOd pounds of seed cotton per acre had been picked before this picture was taken. -r*' - BIG, PRETTY BOLLS W. A. ROBINETT, of Enterprise, Ala., says: “In 1936 I had 30 acres in cotton and used 400 pounds of 3-8-5 NPK guano per acre. I top-dressed two acres with 100 pounds of Soda per acre and on one of these I put an additional 100 pounds of NV Muriate of Potash. On the entire 30 acres I made nine bales of cotton. The acre top-dressed only with Soda made 570 pounds of seed cotton. The acre top-dressed with Soda and NV Potash made 919 pounds—a gain of 349 pounds of seed cotton. Allowing for the cost of potash this is a profit of $16.54 per acre. You could tell the potash cotton by walking through it. It stayed vigorous and healthy and kept making the biggest, prettiest bolls I ever saw." DOUBLED HIS YIELD H. F. STRENGTH, of Daleville, Ala., says: “In 1936 I top-dressed 7 H acres with 100 pounds of NV Muriate of Potash per acre and made seven 500-pound bales and 138 pounds of lint. That figures a bale to the acre as compared with 1,000 pounds of seed cotton per •ere in 1935, when only part of my cotton was top- dressed with NV Potash and half a bale to the acre in 1934, when I didn't use any extra potash. “In 1934 my cotton rusted badly, like most cotton in this section. I decided to try potash top-dressing and I have been well pleased with the results. This year my cotton stayed healthy and kept growing, while my neighbor’s, adjoining me, rusted badly and died. I am going to top-dress every acre of cotton I plant this year with NV Potash.” WpnWftjPmiBMM 16 BALES ON 9 ACRES — O'CAIN, of Orangeburg, S. C., says: “On my average cotton crop last I used 4* t potash in the fertilizer at planting and 200 pounds per acre of M. L. year I used 4', potash in the fertilizer at planting and 200 pounds per acre of top dresAing consisting of NV Muriate of Potash and Nitrate of Soda in equal parts. I had no Rust, except on a three-acre block where I didn’t use the extra potash. The photographs tdl the story. “On one block rtf 9 i/m acres which I fertilized rather heavily, using 160 pounds of NV Muriate as a top-dresser, I made 16 bales and a remnant. On one field where cowpeas followed oats, which had received only nitrogen. I lost my hay crop. But on another field where the oats got 60 pounds of NV Muriate per acre with the nitrogen, I made a ton of pea-vine hay per acre.” STOP RUST start profits ^VHEN you buy your fertilizer and top-dresser, tdl your fertilizer man you want more NV POTASH. Plan now to top-dress with 100 pounds of NV MURIATE or 200 pounds of NV KAINIT per acre, or use a nitrogen- potash, mixed-goods top-dresser containing 10 to 25% NV POTASH. If you prefer to use your extra potash at planting, select a fertilizer containing 8 to 10% NV POTASH. Where Rust has been very severe you may need both high-potash fertilizer at planting and potash top-dressing to STOP RUST and START PROFITS. Thousands of farmers have found that it pays to give cotton a lot more potash than the average fertilizer contains. NV POTASH keeps cotton strong and healthy, maturing fruit until a full crop is made (including a good top crop). It PREVENTS RUST, helps control Wilt and produces strong, vig orous plants with less shedding, larger bolls that are easier to pick and better yields of uniform, high-quality lint. NV POTASH PAYS! N.
