i* * v i r h' & i k Cotton Rust has done widespread damage in recent years, costing the South millions of dollars in lost yields. Many farmers in this sec tion lose many valuable pounds of seed cotton year after year, because they let Rust ravage their cotton crop. Yet cotton rust is easy to prevent by using plenty of potash. Leading authorities say that cot ton rust is simply potash starva tion. Cotton, like all other plants, manufactures its food in the leaves. Potash is needed for this manufac- tmring process and for the trans portation and assimulation of the food. When the cotton plant ap proaches maturity and begins to de velop burs, seed and lint, there is a 'tremendous demand for quickly a- vailable potash. If the cotton plant does not re ceive plenty of potash, food manu- facturing is hindered or stopped, the food is not properly distributed throughout the plant and a complete breakdown occurs as a result of a starved condition. Then you see Getton Rust. The leaves turn yellow, break dawn at the edges, become rusty or tilack and finally drop off. The fxritmg limbs are weak, the twigs supporting the burs are short and aaiall, and the burs are small and do not open properly. The cotton is hard to pick and the lint is weak and not uniform with some long and some short fibers. The seeds are small and immature with a low oil content. All of these losses are due to potash starvation, commonly known as Cotton Rust. Nitrogen and phos phoric acid do not preven Rust. The average fertiliser does not contain sufficient potash to prevent Rust. There is only one way to prevent Rust—simply uae enough potash to balance your plant food and help you get greater benefits from other more expensive elements in your fertilizer. Many farmers have found that it pays to use potash as a top-dess ing. They have gotten excellent results from using 100 pounds of Muriate of Potash, or 200 pounds of Kainit per acre. Other farmers uae nitrogen-potash mixed-goods top-dressers. All of these mater ials are on sale by leading fertilizer men. Potash top-dressing should he applied when you chop out.

State of South Carolina, County of Barnwell. Under and by virtue of certain Tax Executions to me directed by J. J. Bell, Treasurer of Barnwell County, I have levied upon and will sell to the highest bidder for cash in front of the Court House at Barnwell, S. C., on Monday, the 3rd day of January, 1938, this being salesday in said month, the fol lowing described real estate: 2 lots in the Town of Barnwell bounded on the North by Charlotte McCrary, East by Estate Nettie Fikes, South by street and on the West by County Home. ALSO: Levied upon as the property of H. D. Davis and sold to satisfy the above Executions and coats. ALSO: 1 lot in the Town of Blackville Sometimes our blessings seem so commonplace, and are so close to us, that we take them for granted and do not adequately evaluate them. The cotton mills in South Carolina, for instance, have for years been an integral part of our life, at our very elbows wherever we turn. We have become so accustomed to them that we actually look upon them as our just due, our very own, like the climate and like the many public facilities which we jointly own and enjoy. In reality however, the cotton textile mills are not public institutions at all. They are privately owned corporations, though actually they produce benefits which are publicly enjoyed. *. ■ Together our cotton mills supply a very large proportion of the man-made assets which the state afforsd. So many are the advantages which we as citizens derive from this industry, that hardly a man, woman or child can be found in the state who has not benefited from the payrolls or the sundry purchases of the mills, or the taxes which they pay. It is suggested that you study the figures below in the light of the benefits which you derive as a citizen, ask yourself the question, “Are the cotton mills worth keeping?” and First, consider the payrolls (wages only) $56,498,852.00 in 1936, according to the Department of Labor. Is it worth while to preserve this to supply the trade and income for our merchants, farmers, educators, bankers, doctors, lawyers, ministers, insurance men, and other trade and professional men and women? In the face of the decrease in our agricultural income, what would we do without our industrial payrolls ? The bulk of these payrolls are spent here in our state. Then consider the huge purchases of the mills: J . 1,155,094 Bale* of Cotton in 1936. 774,085,408 K. W. of Hour* of Electricity in 1936. 597,322 Tons of Coal in 1936. (S. C. Dept, of Labor Report of 1936). ^ And the huge amount of gasoline, oil, cord wood, building materials, freight, express and postal services, and hundreds of other services and general equipment and supplies purchased each year by the cotton mills. Together the mills’ purchases run into hundreds of millions of dollars as they buy from individuals and corporations through out the state. Together they represent the state’s largest customer. f These expenditures, when added to the millions of dollars of taxes paid by the mills, represent a figure spent in South Carolina totaling over $150,000,000.00. This is greater than the value of the state’s farm crops, greater than the expenditures for highway purposes, greater than the expenditures of the railroads within the state, the pow r er companies or any other single class of industry. It is greater than the total of individual bank deposits within the state, nearly six times greater than the total savings deposits within the state, greater than the total value of the annual products of all other industries in the state, and thirteen times greater than annual public school expenditures in South Carolina. The value to each South Carolina citizen of the annual expenditures of the cotton mills within the state is ap parent. If these advantages are worth keeping, are they worth protecting?
