IBCl, Btrwiek, Oa.. nr*' “150 pounds of NV KAINIT per acre gave me a gain of 153 pounds of seed cotton per acre despite the worst drought I have seen in 40 years. I used 4-8-6 at planting but where no extra NV KAlNIT was used a third of the crop was dead from Rust when picking began. The pickers would hunt for kainit cotton because it was so much easier to pick. The bolls were larger, better matured and wide open. The staple was better and the seed better matured.” -NV- M. H. EVANS, Ty Ty, Oa., says: “I had about decided three years ago that I couldn’t make cotton because of Rust. Leaves would fall off before fruit reached maturity, bolls were knotty and the staple was poor grade. I decided I’d try NV KAINIT. I used 100 pounds of NV KAINIT with 300 pounds of 4-8-4 fertilizer per acre. My yield increased more than 50 per cent and I had no Rust at all. Before I started using NV KAINIT, my yield never went over a half bale per acre. Now I average more than three-quarters of a bale per acre and get a much better grade of staple. I’d hate to plant cotton without extra potash. It is the best crop insurance I can get, and the cheapest fertilizer I can buy.” i -NV- * i W. 1. ANDREWS, Cuthbart, Ga , says: "My 1936 cotton yield was 137 bales on 148 acres. For the last few years my crops have been equally as good. I use 400 pounds of 3-9-5 fertilizer at planting and top-dress with 200 pounds of 17-0-12. This gives me better maturity, cotton that is free from Rust, better lint and gin turn-out and a crop that is easy to pick. Where there is any indication of Rust, I apply extra kainit or muriate in addition to my regular fertilizer and top-dreAer. “This year I expect to top-dress with 200 pounds per acre of a mixture consisting of 140 pounds of nitrate of soda and 60 pounds of muriate of potash. Any top-dresser with out some form of potash does not give cotton a fair chance. Potash is too cheap to let the lack of it cut my crop and lower my profits. High-potash fertilizers are fine for corn, potatoes, small grains and other crops. The money that I spend for potash gives me the best returns.” In North Carolina they say: "NV POTASH PAYS!" L. O. MOSELY, Kiastoa, N. C.. says: “A six-acre field had been abandoned because of Rust. Three years ago I planted it to cotton. The first year I gave each acre 100 pounds of top-dresser made with soda and kainit in equal parts. I made 9 bales on the six acres, but some of the top bolls were rusty and the leaves looked rusty. The second year I changed my top-dreaaer to equal parts of nitrate of soda and muriate of potash to get more potash. All the bolls opened wide and turned out a fluffy, white lint that brought a premium of $7.SO per bale. My return per acre was 976 pounds of lint, which brought $146.40 and 49 bushels of planting seed which sold for $73.50. Think of growing fancy planting seed on old rusty abandoned cotton land.” j -NV- year after year—you too have some* thing to look forward to when you start top-dressing with NV POTASH. Top-dressing with 200 pounds of NV KAINIT or 100 pounds of NV MURI ATE per acre keeps cotton strong and healthy, maturing fruit until a full crop is made (including a good top crop). It PREVENTS RUST, helps quality lint. The time to top-dress with NV POTASH is when you chop out. Use 200 pounds of NV KAINIT per acre, or 100 pounds of NV MURIATE, or a nitrogen-potash, mixed-goods top- dresser containing plenty of genuine NV POTASH. Remember, N’ POTASH STOPS RUST and STARTS PROFITS. N. V. POTASH EXPORT MY., Inc., Hurt Bldg., ATLANTA • Royster Bldg., NORFOLK >, N. C., says: “My young son. R1ATE OP J. W IICHAIDSON, M« not knowing the difference between NV MUR1A1 POTASH and other fertilizers, top-dressed a three-acre Add of cotton twice with NV MURIATE OF POTASH, using 133 pounds per mere in addition to our regular fer tilizer. We thought he made a mistake, but the extra potash cured the Rust and gave us strong, healthy stalks that boiled right up to the top. The bolls were large and a man could pick twice as much and still have no skinned fingers. When night came, there were no rusty, dry leaves in the cotton to cause a bad sample. We made more than three bales where we were expecting only one and a half to two bales. The year before, the same field suffered badly from Rust and made only about one-half bale per acre. The stalks were dead long before picking time and produced some rusty bolls that were hard to pick. My boy didn’t make a mistake. We expect to cure some more rusty land in 1937 and show Mr. Rust where to get off.” -NV- H. L. HEI1ING, Csntral Wsrskooss, Kinston, N. C., says: “My cotton showed Rust for several years and in 1936 I used 4-8-10 fertilizer plus an application of 200 pounds of NV KAINIT per acre. The crop showed much improvement and very little Rust. I also believe in high-potash applica tions for tobacco, corn and beans.” In South Carolina they say: "NV POTASH PAYS!" M. E. SHULEl, Holly H1U, 8. C. says: “For years I used 3-8-3 and nitrogen top-dressing for cotton. But now I have changed to 3-8-8 under my cotton and use potash in my top-dreaaer. One field which showed decided Rust for IS years is now free of Rust and making as good cotton aa any on the place. “I have found that peas following oats, fertilized with soda and kainit in equid parts, make more peas and hay. There was a big difference in the grain from the use of potash. I used to allow 18 bundles of oats to the hundred pounds, but it takes only 14 bundles now.** -NV- C. C. WALLACE. l.r.D. Na. S, Nswbsny. t. C.saysi *1 used fertilizer containing 10% potash and top-dressed rusty spots at first chopping with 100 pounds of NV MURIATE OF POT ASH per acre. On 32 acres, having an average base production of 90 pounds of lint per acre. I produced an average of 300 pounds of lint per acre. Some of the best land ran as high as 500 pounds. The lint was uniform, with large, wide-open boils, making picking eaay. I had no Rust and shedding was materially reduced.” H. f MILAM, Saady Springs. 8. C., says. ”1 fertilized 12S acres of cotton with 600 pounds of 6-8-6 per acre. Six acres were top-dr eased with SO pounds of NV MURIATE and 75 pounds of soda. We had no rain from May 10 until August IS except a few small showers. During this drought the potash top-dressed cotton kept growing, retained its color and held its fruit. It made more than a bale per acre and no sign of Rust or Wyt could be found.” C., says: “For eight years I M. W. JACKSON, Wsgsasr, 8. C., says. have been using 8 to 10% potash in my cotton . fer tilizers. People told me it would burn up my crop, but it never has.

The yields are much larger and the lint is higher grade. I use the same fertiliser for my corn and find thsit it pays by filling out the ear and making good grain.” -NV- GEO. A. COPELAND, Clinton, 8. C., says: “For the last few years I have used a potash top-dresser 14-0-10 on my grain and have been well pleased with the results obtained. Also, I have increased the amount of potash used under cotton to double what I wa» using a few years ago and find that it pays well—especially on sandy land.” -NV- WILLIAM A. fPKADLEY, TbnwonrrilU, 8. C., says: "In 1935 our vocational teacher examined my cotton and found that ' it was damaged by Rust. The leaves shed off the plants before the cotton was matured. The bolls were small and the cotton hard to pick. The lint was short. In 1936 I used 100 pounds of NV MURIATE OF POTASH per acre, in addition to my regular fertilizer. As my cotton began to mature the leaves did not shed off. The holla were large and properly filled out. The lint was long and strong, and the yield was far better than it was last year. My net gam. after paying all expenses, was $12.42 an acre more than the year before. I am learning how to grow cotton.” In Alabama they say "NV POTASH PAYS!" J.W WILLIAMS. Osakan. Ala.. «Tt.**NV POTASH pmd me well in 1936. Figuring conservatively, with seed cotton at four cents a pound. 1 made a profit of $13.60 per acre, after allowing for the coat of an extra 100 pounds of NV MURIATE OF POTASH per acre, in addition to my regular fertilizer. The NV MURIATE was used aa a C. M 04MM SOI. 1.8.0. Na. I. Bwtewla. Ala., says. “One acre fertilised with 200 pounds of 8-8-4 mixed goods produced 800 pounds of seed cotton. One acre with the above and 100 pounds of nitrate of soda produced 1,047 pounds of seed cotton. One acre with the above amounts of mtsed goods and soda, which waa top-dr rased with 100 pounds of NV MURIATE OF POTASH, produced 1,299 pounds of aaed cotton. Where the extra potash was applied there area no Rust whatever.” W. 8. BOTVTT, 8.8. D. Na. 8. Easarpriaa, Ate., says. “Where I top-dr rased with NV POTASH I made 933 pounds of seed cotton per acre against 748 pounds where I didn’t use it. The NV POTASH made enough extra cotton to pay for aD the fertilizer, soda and potash and still return a profit of $3.10 per acre. My cotton eras badly damaged by two storms. In a normal year I believe NV POTASH would pay a still greater profit. It produces larger bolls that arc better matured and easier to pick.” All fertiliser analyses above are expressed as NPK, nitrogen, phosphoric acid and pet+k.
