Saving* Plan&b purred By
New York Fair Interest
In at least thirty-eight States
banking institutions are now op
erating New York World's Fair
1939 Savings Clubs, organiza
tions lor depositors which induce
them to save stipulated sums
each week* for a trip to the Fair
?est Spring.
This savings plan, announced
just one year ago, has for its
slogan, "Save Today to Sec the
World of Tomorrow" and several
banks have linked it to their
Christmas and Vacation Clubs.
Fair Club*, following closely
the pattern of those In banks, j
have also been set ap in the col
leges and school*.
The prompt and favorable re
action to Fair clubs came after
booklets explaining the idea had
been sent to 17,000 banks in all
of the nation's forty-eight states
by Crover A. Whalen, President
of the Fair Corporation.
"The operation of the New
York World's Fair 1939 Sav
ings Clubs," Mr. Whalen pointed
out at that time, "will make it
possible for many to enjoy thr j
Fair who, otherwise, might be
unable to make the trip."
Seven classes of club* are pro
vided for under the plan. These,
respectively, call for weekly de
posits of fifty cent*, $1, $2, S3.
14. $5, or 910. Accumulating to
totals of <40. <80, S160. >240.
(320. $400. and MOO. these
sums will be payable by check
to the depositors before the
Fair's opening day.

W. J. SNIPES, R. D. 2. Hurdle*
mill (left), says: "In 1938 1 fol
lowed the recommendation of
my Experiment Station and
side dressed ray tobacco with
100 pounds of NV SULPHATE
of POTASH per acre in addi
tion to using 6co POTASH fer
tilizer under my CTop. My to
bacco had more weight and
less diseart. Many of my
neighbors plan to use NV
SULPHATE of POTASH in 1939
to produce bigger yields of
better quality tobacco."
H. C. ROBUCK, R. D. 1. Rober
?onrille (right). Bays: "3-8-8
gave me 2 50 pounds mere to
bacco per cci? than 3 8 5 in a
test on my farm in 1SCP The
3-8-8 tobacco had mere weight
and less disease."
WOODLEY HILL. R. D. 1. Deep
Run (right below), says: "I am
farming with my father in-law.
Albert Heath. We switched
'froqj* 3-8-5 to 3-8-8 tobacco fer
tilizer. We will use 3-8-8 again
this year because it has given
us bigger yields of better qual
ity tobacco."
v H. H. AVERETTE. B. D. 5. On
forf (left). says: "Last year for
the first time I side-dressed my
tobacco with 50 pounds of NV
SULPHATE of POTASH per
acre in addition to using 6%
POTASH fertiliser under the
crop. The exlia potash pro
duced bigger yields and the
yellow spots, indicating dis
ease. were greatly reduced. I
will increase my NV SUL
PHATE of POTASH side drees
ing this year- using 75 to 100
pounds per acre."
Says Mr . Hard i son
W. M. HARDISON. R. D. 3. Williamston. Martin
County, conducted a fertilizer test on his farm last
season to find out just how much NV SULPHATE
OF POTASH his tobacco could use at a profit. On a
field which received 1.000 pounds of 3-10-6 fertilizer
per acre, he side-dressed five different plots with
different amounts of NV SULPHATE OF POTASH.
20 days after transplanting. The table below shows

MR. HARDISON'S results are a striking demonstra
tion oi the effect of NV SULPHATE OF POTASH on
improving the quality oi tobacco. Where the extra
potash was used, the tobacco ripened much better
and produced broader, better-developed leal which
sold lor a higher price. Many growers in this section
have produced bigger yields of better quality to
bacco by side-dressing with NV SULPHATE OF
POTASH at 100 to 200 pounds per acre.' 20 days
alter transplanting in the field.
Mr. HARDISON has alto found that it pays to
ate plenty of potath on tweet potatoes. He a tet
10% POTASH in flit fertilizer at planting and
tide-drettet with NV SULPHATE OF POTASH.
H. MAYNARD HICKS. Snow Hill
(below), say*: "Before we1 switched
lo 3 8 8 in 1933. we were unable
to grow a profitable tobacco crop.
3-8-8 certainly started profits by
giving us higher yields of better
quality tobacco. In 1937 we aver
aged more than $425.00 per acre
and even in poor years our return
has never been less than $321 00
per acre. We shall aapin use 1.0C0
pounds cf ^ fc' P per here in 1939,
the seventh year we have ust-d
this better tobacco fertilizer."
B. G. FUTTHELL. H. D. 2. Pink Hill.
iay?: "I changed from 3-8-3 to
3-8 8 and alio aide-dressed with
100 pounds ol NV SUI.PHATE ol
POTASH per acre. The entra pot
ash gave me a smoother, better
bodied leql with more weight. I
plan to use 3 8 8 and side-dress
with NV SULPHATE of POTASH
this year."
THESE NORTH CAROLINA TOBACCO GROWERS
are only a few among thousands all over the state who
hare discovered that it pays to give tobacco plenty of
NV POTASH. That is why such mixtures as 3-8-8
TOBACCO FERTILIZER have become so popular.
That is why so many farmers now side-dress their
tobacco with NV SULPHATE OF POTASH.
The Tobacco Research Committee recommends fer
tiliser containing at least 6% POTASH at 800 to 1,200
pounds per acre, plus a side-dressing of potash equal
to 100 to 200 pounds oi SULPHATE OF POTASH per
acre, the aide-dressing to be applied within 20 days
after transplanting.
It does not always pay to buy fertilizer on brand
name alone. Check up on the analysis. Make sure
ypu are getting enough NV POTASH. Your Fertil
izer Man can supply you with 3-8-8 made with NV
POTASH to use at planting and for side^iressing he
hen NV SULPHATE OF KJTASH. POTASH PAYS1
