Shipments of both Eainit and Manure Salt have been resumed but the shortage of coal and cars and high freight rates make it more desirable to ship Manure Salt, which contains 20 per Cent of actual Potash, instead of Kainit,, which contains less than 13 per cent actual Potash. MANURE SALT can be used as aside dressing on Cotton in just the same way as Eainit and will give the same results. Where you used 100 pounds of Eainit, you need to use but 62 pounds of Manure Salt, or 100 pounds of Manure Salt go as far as 161 pounds of KainitT - 'MANURE SALT has been coming forward in considerable amounts and cotton growers, who can not secure Kainit, should make an effort to get - Manure Salt for side dressing to aid in making a big Cotton Crop. , MMFSaite II PottasUn 50 per cent actual Potash, has been coming forward cJso, 100 pounds tf Muriate are equivalent to 400 pounds of Eainit or 250 pounds of Manure Salt These are the three Standard GERMAN Potash Salts that were always used in making cotton fertilizers and have been used for all these years with great profit and without any damage to the crop. The supply is not at present as large C3 in former years, but there is enough to greatly increase the Cotton Crop if you insist on your dealer making the necessary, effort to get it for you.
