R. ("Uncle Bob") SMITH, husband of Mrs. Carrie B. Smith, who won first prize, with a yield of 6,640 pounds of lint on five acres, says: “Mrs. Smith planted Coker’s Cleve-wilt No. 4 seed and used 1,450 pounds of fertilizer per acre, 300 pounds of which was NV MURIATE OF POTASH. She used part of the nitrogen as a top-dresser and the remainder of the fertilizer before planting, putting it down in three bands. She sure made me keep a close eye on that patch of cotton. For years I used 6% potash in my regular cotton fertilizer, but Clemson College said I was short on potash, so I started using 10% potash. I made larger yields and the 10% potash completely pre vented Rust.” m B. R. SMITH Johnston, S. C. P. M. ARANT, Pageland, S. C., winner of second prize, with a yield of 6,265 pounds of lint on five acres, says: “My five acres got a ton of my regular fer tilizer at planting and then 2,800 pounds of top-dresser composed of Nitrate of Soda and NV MURIATE OF POTASH in equal parts. On my general crop I put down 300 to 400 pounds of complete fertilizer per acre at planting, chop out and then put 100 pounds of Nitrate of Soda and 100 pounds of NV MURIATE OF POT ASH per acre around it with a dis tributor. I work it fast and with any kind of a decent season, we always make a good crop of cotton.’ »» P. M. ARANT Pageland, §. C. X F. HOPKINS, Mayesville, S: C, who had the third largest yield, which was 6,080 pounds of lint on five acres, saysr: “My five acres received 800 pounds penacre of 9-4V£-5V£ (PNK) fertilizer- at planting and just after chopping,. 150 pounds of top-dresser made of* equal parts of Nitrate of Soda anct NV MURIATE OF POTASH. I put my fertilizer out about 15 days ahead of planting and got a good stand. It was very dry for a long time but really tumed out to be<^t good cotton year. We find that a nitrogen-potash top- dresser is fine for small grains and the land improves from year to year. We j •r r v* use this top-dresser on com also. J i • Ifou may not aspire to produce record yields; however, you certainly are interested in the best method of profit able cotton production. Plenty of NV POTASH in your fertilizer and top-dresser prevents Rust, helps control Wilt and produces strong, vigorous plants with less shedding, larger bolls that are easier to pick and better yields of uniform, high quality lint . . . .

Wallace, Secretary of Agriculture. ‘‘Farmers have reason to re joice”, says the Secretary, “as they review the gains of the past four years, but as we cast up agricul ture’s gains from economic self- government, let us not forget those farmers who have not fully shar- «d in those gains. . . . There can be no permanent solution of the farm problem which does not give a fair chance to those farmers at the bottom of the heap, as well as to the ones at the top. “Unless we admit that large numbers of farmers will have to live indefinitely on a self-suffi cient basis, we must see to it thatj nnd pr i ce condi tions affecting farm commodities give these people, as well as all the rest of our six million farm- rs, an opportunity to make a de cent living through fair exchange A their products in the market >lace. “In the long run, no farmers— ig or little—gain but they all lose ..giicullure’s expert markets are ^cvi ihe election of ever fler tariff walls at home. In the g lui., no farmers gain but they lose if surpluses pile up and . ia.in . .es. .u larmers gain t they all lose if short supplies i - lion ire ight or other ^end prices sky-rocketing nd lure agriculture into another ycle of speculative dealing in land, Ml waste, big production, and illy another crash. “When we urge as parts of our jng-time farm program an ever Tranary, together with ^mmodity loans and crop insur ance, we are thinking of the wel fare of all of our farmers, includ ing those at the bottom as well as those at the top.” Jungle Princess” At The Hollywood Theatre C'-of a hundred maident elephants upon a bamboo Malm/- village, the death leap of ar furiated rran-eatin; .her. and battle in the <-”ee f nns p. ’’••o"'' cf baboons, are a few of the whril in “The Jungle Princess”, show n at the Hollywood Theatre 7 ri ~ and Saturday, March 5th and 6‘n The friendship of a lu^gle ri- with a tiger and giant chimpanzee and the love which is born between her and a white man lost in he: dangerous domains, keep the story moving and form the romantic background for the thriller.
