Figure it out for yourself: Subtract the cost of the KAINIT from the value of the extra cotton that KAINIT produced. The table below shows the results of this experiment. Study it carefully. All plats received 400 lbs. of 3-8-3 per acre at plant ing and 100 lbs. of nitrate of soda top-dressing Where NO KAINIT was used as top-dressing Top-dressed with KAINIT at 125 pounds per acre Top-dressed with KAINIT at 250 pounds per acre Seed Cotton per Acre Weight per Boll Weight of 100 Seed Lint Index Fiber Strength Strong Fibers 775 pounds 5.17 grams 9.33 grams 5.41 grams 3.28 grams 68% I, 139 pounds 6.56 grams II. 48 grams 6.75 grams 4.38 grams 76% 1,220 pounds 7.07 grams 12.44 grams 7.17 grams 4.55 grams 83% PROFITS START WHEN YOU STOP RUST! Note that the KAINIT top-dressing not only produced many extra pounds of seed cotton, it also improved the quality of the entire crop. KAINIT produced heavier bolls, heavier seed, more lint per seed, better grade, longer staple and stronger fibers. A 124 |ps m NORTH CAROLINA EXPERIMENT STATION recommends top-dressing cotton with 125 to 250 pounds of KAINIT or 50 to 100 pounds of MURIATE pet acre on fields which rusted in the past and where the fer tilizer contains only 3% potash. SOUTH CAROLINA EXPERIMENT STATION found that 120 pounds of MURIATE per acre increased the yield by 686 pounds of seed cotton per acre. In these tests, fer tilizer was used at 600 pounds per acre: 5-10-0 produced 557 pounds of seed cotton, 5-10-5 produced 1,015 pounds and 5-10-10 PRODUCED 1,243 POUNDS. The potash was equally effective applied at planting or as a top-dressing. GEORGIA COASTAL PLAIN EXPERIMENT STATION produced 1,092 pounds of seed cotton per acre with 600 pounds of 3-9-5 fertilizer. By adding 50 pounds of MURI ATE top-dressing the yield was increased to 1,142 pounds, with 100 pounds of MURIATE the yield was 1,221 pounds, with 150 pounds of MURIATE the yield was 1,316 pounds and with 200 pounds of MURIATE the yield was 1,403 pounds. IT WILL PAY YOU to get the extra yields and extra quality that extra potash adds to your crop at such very low extra cost. PROFITS START WHEN YOU STOP RUST! Use fertilizer well-balanced with 8 to 10% NV POTASH at planting; or top- dress with 100 pounds of NV MURIATE per acre, 200 pounds of NV KAINIT, or use a mixed-goods top-dresser containing plenty of genuine NV POTASH. All of these are on sale by your fertilizer man. ! 't* * V-i 1 •* ! •4‘ I ! ^ k i y* *’.• ViV* • I ! .-'V Jr. | * a'* i m X-X-i* i Vi ! i CT'V- » N.V.

Life Of Roads Being Studied How long do the highways of Mc Cormick county “live”? What is the "normal l^fe expectancy” of the many highways in South Carolina? In order to answer these and nu merous other questions, the High way Planning Survey has inaugu rated a road-life study of highways In McCormick county and other counties in the state. No road has been built to last forever. Consequently, each *;oad may be said to have a “life”. 3y a road’s “life” is meant the number of years from th3 rme its su-fac-* is built until its “death”, or ihat time when it is abandoned or changed by reconstruction. For ex ample, if an asphalt road was com pleted in 1923 and no changes were made until it was re-surfaced in 1935, the “life” of that surface would be twelve years. Thus, the “life” of every road can be designated. Summaries can be made which may be likened to birth, death, and population tables for human beings. Life tables and curves can be computed and the “probable average life” forecasted. The average service “life” of road construction of different types is being obtained by a careful study of all the contracts let by the State Highway Department since its be ginning in 1917. From these con tracts, the officials of this study will record the design and con struction features, construction costs, improvement costs, and other factors pertaining to the “life” of each highway. The final objective of the road- life survey is to determine, in any proposed program of improvement, now much it will cost annually to build and maintain loads suited to the needs of vehicles traveling over them. These needs are to be defined from data gathered by the traffic study and other divisions of the survey. ‘• X ? ricnce Service Faeilitien Hay Feeding Rack Those are the important things in measuring ihe worm of a funeral director, and should be borne in mihd whoo you have occasion to choose one DISTANCE IS NO HINDRANCE TO OCR SERVM:* and there Is no additional charge for service out ui tou t* V, Of Ckmson Design j| T § PRO Proves Real Value Clemson, Dec. 4.—A new type of h' 1v r ecd’T)^ rp.c'r designed by Prof. J. r ‘. laMaster. head of the Davy Pepartment of Clemscn College, ii being recommended to South Carolina farmers by Extension Ser vice dairying specialists as very nractical and serviceable in feeding dairy cows. It was designed and is used in the Clemson herds mainly os a means of permitting the cows free access to roughage during the day. The new rack is of very simple constniction, is built on the ground, on a well-drained spot in the lot, and if placed so that cows may have access to both sides without hemming, there is practically no waste of roughage. If preferred it can be constructed under a large open shed. In any case cattle can eat from both sides of the rack, which should be long enough to allow at least two linear feet for each cow. No floor is re quired and if posts and lumber are creosoted the rack will last a great deal longer. T. F. Cooley, a.ssistant dairy spe cialist, announces that a simple drawing showing the construction of the Clemson hay feeding rack may be secured from the extension dairy specialists at Clemson.
