S. STROM Main Street McCormick, S. C. THE NORTH CAROLINA EXPERIMENT STATION ^ tells you how to STOP RUST and START PROFITS . tw T'i' i <•> tt imjr ' , The NORTH CAROLINA EXPERIMENT STATION recommends top-dressing cotton with 50 to 100 pounds of MURIATE or 125 to 250 pounds of KA1NIT per acre on fields which have shown heavy Rust damage in the past and where the complete fertilizer treatment contained only 3% potash. The recommendation is made in a recent news release which describes a series of tests in which “plats receiving the additional amount of potash produced larger yields y heavier seed, heavier boll» y more lint per seed f better grade^ ionger staple y stronger fibers and a higher percentage of normal fibers. Rust demage f on plats receiving no additional potash y lowered the yield and reduced the quality of \ the fiber to such an extent as to lower the value of the crop $15 to $25 per acre/* L The Station selected fields of three farms which had shown severe Rust damage. One standard variety of cotton was planted in 1935 and 1936. At planting each field received 400 pounds of complete fertilizer containing 3%- t potash, common to the practice of the area. The fields were divided into plats and certain plats were given additional potash at chopping. The results of these tests prompted the above recommendation. N. V. POTASH EXPORT MY.
