“Five years ago I took a new
farm. 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.”

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.

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/’

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).
