TOP-DRESSING COTTON with 125 pounds of KAINIT per
acre produced 364 pounds MORE seed cotton per acre, or top
dressing with 250 pounds of KAINIT per acre produced 445
pounds MORE seed cotton per acre in tests conducted by the
North Carolina Experiment Station on fields damaged by Rust
in previous years.
*
The extra cotton that KAINIT produced represents a better
profit than most farmers made when lint was 12 cents per
pound. 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.

of 3-8-3 per acre at plant

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.

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.

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.

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.
