The first year I lost three acres of cotton from bad Rust and had rusty spots all over the place. The next year I used 400 pounds of 5-7-5 per acre and added 100 pounds «f MURIATE of POTASH along with my nitro gen. Rust disappeared and I haven’t had any since because I have been using extra potash every year.” ■ ' -v. •:*:;y <- . \ KEEPS COTTON ON THE JOB! COTTON NEVER RUSTS when well-fed with X TO NV POTASH—it’s too busy producing a healthy, high-yielding, high-quality crop— it's too busy producing heavier bolls, heavier seed, more lint per seed, better grade, longer staple and stronger fibers. Throughout this section, farmers are find ing out that NV POTASH PAYS IN MANY WAYS! But you must use plenty of it Some farmers use cotton fertilizer containing 8 to 10% POTASH at planting—others top- dress with 100 pounds of NV MURIATE per acre—others prefer top-dressing with 200 pounds of NV KAINIT per acre—while still others use a nitrogen-potash mixed- goods top-dresser, made with genuine NV POTASH. Different farmers apply extra NV, POTASH in different ways, but all agree that extra NV POTASH pa^s. Choose your own method of application, but make sure you use more NV POTASH if you want your cotton to stay on the job producing bigger yields of a better quality crop. N. V. POTASH EXPORT MY. f Inc.

VIRGINIA JIM KELLY, Tennille, Gn., says; “In 1937 I used 400 pounds of 6% POTASH fer tilizer per acre and top-dressed with nitro gen and 100 pounds of MURIATE of POTASH. On 202 acres I ginned better than 240 bales, averaging 500 pounds and on one 14-acre plot I ginned 22 bales. My gin turnout and staple were good and my crop was free from Rust/’ I : \ V< B. L. JENNINGS, Samson, Ala., aayai “I operate six plows and on one place where I used extra NV POTASH on seven acres I made 1200 pounds of seed cotton per acre against 700 pounds per acre without the extra potash on the rest of the place. Anybody could walk down that field and tell the potash cotton to the row. When I pooled my cotton I got credit for full staple on the potash cotton, but not on any of the rest. On lots of places where I didn't use extra NV POTASH the cotton, mated badly and some of it died in July.” C. P. JOHNSTON, Sasser, Qa., says: "Folks told me that part of my land was ’cotton-sick’ because cotton grown there rusted so badly. In 1937 I listed on 200 pounds of KAINIT per acre before planting, used 400 pounds of 4-8-6 at planting and later top-dressed with 150 pounds of 13-0-12. The cotton did not rust. I averaged a bale per acre; the staple was very good, and the gin turnout was excellent. A tenant said: ’Boss, where you used extra potash we got a good first picking, a good second picking, and a good third picking, but where you didn’t use the extra potash we didn’t get but one picking and that one wasn’t so good.’ ” L. Z. PEPPERS, Albartvills, Ala., says: ‘Tn 19371 produced 22 bales on 13 acre**. I used 400 pounds of 4-8-5 fertilizer per acre at planting and later a nitrogen* potash top-dresser. For 8 or 10 years I had been troubled with cotton dying, but the extra potash helped to correct this condition. My son had! some cotton fertilized just like mine, but without the extra potash. cotton rusted but mine did not and my cotton was much easier to pick.”' W. W. RELLETT, el J. P. Kellett h Sen, Fountain Inn, 8. C., says: ’’For- three years we have used 3-8-10 cotton fertilizer where we used to use 3-8-3. Although our section suffers from Rust the.extra potash in the 3-8-10 has prevented Rust and given larger yields. The extra potaahi also produced larger bolls, which were easier to pick, and an improved: staple. We averaged a bale of cotton per acre for the last three years. All fertiliser analyses mentioned above are ex pressed as NPK (nitrogen-phosphoric acid-potash).
