THE BARNWELL PEOPLE-SENTINEL. BARNWELL. SOUTH CAROLINA B. f. rowin. Union, S. C. (.hown on tho hotoo a! right bolow) soyai “My neighbors and I here in the Pea Ridge section of Union county, S. C., used 5,516 bags of 3-6-10 (NPK) for wheat and cotton in 1937.1 used 250 pounds of 3-8-10 per acre under my wheat and top-dressed with nitrogen. It stooled well and averaged 24 bushels per acre which sold for $1.25 per bushel. On our cotton we had a nine weeks’ \ drought with only one light shower. Cotton all around us rusted but where the 3*8-10 was used there was no Rust. The difference in cost between 400 pounds of 3-8-10 and 400 pounds of 3-8-3 was only 84 cents per acre. With cotton at 10 cents, it took only 8H extra pounds of lint per acre to pay this small difference in cost. It was worth a lot more than that on my farm, even with the bad season." wmmm pH ' ' A ■■■■■■'' - llllllllll £ f < ;; ■ t • ' •••• <■•. S j* LEWIS W. TABOB, Parry, Oa. (sb«Ts) says i “I harvested 28% bushels of wheat per acre where I used 3-9-5 (NPK) fertilizer at planting and top-dressed with nitrogen. On part of my field, where I top-dressed with nitro gen and 100 pounds of NV MU RIATE per acre, I harvested 4 0 % bushels per acre. I consider pot ash very necessary in growing high yields of good quality grain." w mm V'/V-V. */•:;vvwft AV V*vV/A* . i * aw,. •, ,.J'v-,. ..;.VV ' /i-V'Wai P. T. SMITH, Spartanburg, S. C. (abavs) says: “My tenant, M. A. Harrison, pro duced 97% bushels of wheat and 64% bushels of oats per acre in 1937 by using 200 pounds of 4-8-8 (NPK) fertilizer when planting and top-dressing with 100 pounds of 21-0-10 per acre. Oats were planted in September and wheat in October. Fertilizer applied at plant ing helped it to stool well. On cotton and corn we use 4-8-8 with a top dressing of 21-0-10. For the past 10 years we have used high potash fer tilizers, from 4-8-6 to 4-10-10, and find them profitable.” ..... Wm ■ f i 'i f i wm I s.: \ \ Wmi# DB. WADE STACKHOUSE, Dillon, S. C., says: “In 1894 I grew my first cotton crop and sold it for 4% cents per pound, with seed at 11 cents per bushel. In 1901 I learned that Rust was due to a shortage of potash and repeatedly since then I have grown excellent crops of cotton on ‘cotton-sick’ land by using large amounts of potash. “In 1937 here at Dillon I used 6% POTASH in my cotton fer tilizer at planting and then just after chopping a top-dresser con taining 10% POTASH. On my Millen, Georgia, farm I used 25% POTASH in my cotton top- dresser. For small grains I use a nitrogen-potash top-dresser, be cause I find it is better than straight nitrogen. The extra potash gives larger yields of better quality grain, improves the hay crops which follow, and leaves the land in better condi tion for cotton.” J. E. DAVIDSON, Fart Vallay, Qa., says: “On 115 acres of wheat I used 175 pounds of 20-0-10 (NPK) per acre and averaged 24 busheb. Thu gave me plump grain and stalks that would not bed-down. I used 8 to 10% POTASH in my fertilizer on 263 acrCs of cotton and made 265 bales. Potash is cheap and farm ers cannot afford to use less than 8% if they want the best results.” A. C. THOMPSON, Baakstaa, Ala., says: “A test in 1935 with an extra 100 pounds of NV MURI ATE of POTASH per acre con vinced me of the need of extra potash for cotton. In 1936 I produced 13 bales on 14 acres by using extra potash. In 1937 I used 10% POTASH in my cotton fertilizer, having a small plot with 5% POTASH as a check. The cotton receiving 10% POTASH withstood the drought and the rain which followed better. Bolls were larger and easier to pick. The yield was about one-third more.” HAMEB SMITH, Clia, S. C., says: “In 1937 I put 200 pounds of nitrate of soda over a field of oats. On part of the field I added 100 pounds of NV MURIATE of POTASH per acre. Without the extra potash the yield was 44 bushels per acre. With the extra potash the yield was 58% bushels per acre, an increase of 14% busheb. The hay crop following the oats was better where the extra potash was used. I used 6% POTASH in my cotton fertilizer at planting and a nitrogen- potash top-dresser just after chopping. I ginned the first bale of cotton in Marlboro county in 1937." T. B. HOBN, aiamraad, Ala., says: “For 25 years I have used extra potash as a top-dresser for cot ton. First, I used 50 pounds of MURIATE per acre and then increased the amount to 100 pounds per acre on 300 acres of cotton. I have used 200 pounds per acre on some land. This pre vents Rust and brings my cotton to full maturity.” / J. M. O BA HAM. Chaster, S. C. (above) says: “I learned about potash when I went to mature Rose Hill Plantation between Bishopville and Sumter in 1921. Those were the 2-8-2 (NPK) and 3-8-3 days. There were French spots or Rust in the cotton so we increased our potash in the fertilizer at planting to 7% and then used 100 pounds of NV KAINIT per acre with our nitrogen. We stopped Rust, increased yields, improved the staple and made better quality all the way around. In 1934 are made 904 bales on 774 acres. “Here at the Chester Seed Farm are 305 bales on 301 acres in 1936. Potash works the same here as it did in Lee County. We used 3-9-7 (NPK) at planting and two applies Hons of 12-0-20 top-dresser. With a bad s»asnn and boll weevil in 1937 we made 342 bales on 350 acres. Potash keeps cotton from giving back, reduces shedding, makes bigger boOa with better staple and the result is larger yields of better quality. “In 1937 on four acres of wheat, planted after alfalfa and given three applications of nitrogen-potash top-dresser (325 pounds par acre), I threshed 161 busheb and had three big loads of hay from around the edge of the field.” IT WILL PAT YOU TO USB MORE NV POTASH.
