C. O. BRICE, Banrick, Ga., 1*71: “150 pounds of NV KAINIT
per acre gave me a gain of 153 pounds of seed cotton per
acre despite the worst drought I have seen in 40 years- I
used 4-8-6 at planting but where no extra NV KAINIT
was used a third of the crop was dead from Rust when
picking began. The pickers would hunt for kainit cotton
because it was so much easier to pick. The bolls were
better matured and wide open. The staple was
better and the seed better matured.”

M. H. EVANS, Ty Ty, Ga., «ayr: “7 1' ’ £..:ut dscid.d three
jc&rs ago that I couldn’t ma’ e co;..cn t of Res*
leaves would fall off before fruit reached n turity, bolls
were knotty and the staple war. t jo. trade. Z decided I’d
try NV KAINIT. I vsed 100 pounds or HV J JNIT with
300 pounds of 4-8-4 fertilizer per a< re. My yUd increased
more than 50 per cent and I had no Rust at all. Before I
started using NV KAINIT, niy yield neve went over a
half bale per acre. Now I average more than tlu ee cuarters
of a bale per acre and get a much better grade of staple.
I’d hat*, to plant cotton without e tra potash. It’s the best
<rop insurance I can get, a.,d the cheapest f rtilizer T
can buy.”

•f. a. ANPAKV T • -AKt*. C-., “My 1?? > cotton
yield was 13V bales on 148 acres For the last fe.7 years my
crops have been equally as good. I use 400 pounds of 3-9-5
fertilizer at planting and top-dress vi'h do‘> pounds of
17-0-12. This gives me better maturity, cotton that is free
from Rust, better lint and gin turn-out and a crop that is
easy to pick. Where there is any indication of Rust, I Jnnly
extra kainit or muriate in addition to my regular fertilizer
and top-dresser.
“This year I expect to top-dress with 200 pounds per
acre of a mixture consisting of 140 pounds of nitrate of soda
and 60 pounds of muriate of potash. Any top-dresser with
out some form of potash does not give cotton a fair chance.
Potash is too cheap to let the lack of it cut my crop and
lower my profits. High-potash fertilizers are fine for corn,
potatoes, small grains and other crops. The money that I
spend for potash gives me the best returns.”

L. O MOSELY, Kinsion, N. C., says: “A six-acre field had
been abandoned because of Rust. Three years ago I planted
it to cotton. The first year I gave each acre 100 pounds of
top-dresser made with soda and kainit in equal parts. I
made 9 bales on the six acres, but some of the top bolls were
rusty and the leaves looked rusty. The second year 1
changed my top-dresser to equal parts of nitrate of soda
and muriate of potash to get more potash. All the bolls
opened wide and turned out a fluffy, white lint that
brought a premium of $7.50 per bale. My return per acre
was 976 pounds of lint, which brought $146.40 and 49
bushels of planting seed which sold for $73.50. Think of
growing fancy planting seed on old rusty abandoned
cotton land.”

not knowing the difference between NV MURIATE OF
POTASH and other fertilizers, top-dressed a three-acre
field of cotton twice with NV MURIATE OF POTASH,
using 133 pounds per acre in addition to our regular fer
tilizer. We thought he made a mistake, but the extra
potash cured the Rust and gave us strong, healthy stalks

man could pick twice as much and still have no skinned
lu.gers.. When night came, there were no rusty, dry leaves
in the cotton to cause a bad sample. We made more than
three bales where we were expecting only one and a half
to two bales. The year before, the same field suffered
badly from Rust and made only about one-half bale per

cotton showed Rust for several years and in 1936 I used
4-8-10 fertilizer plus an application of 200 pounds of NV
KAINIT per acre. The crop showed much improvement
and very little Rust. I also believe in high-potash applica
tions for tobacco, corn and beans.”

M. E. SHULER, Holly Hill, S. C„ says: “For years I used
3-8-3 and nitrogen top-dressing for cotton. But now I
have changed to 3-8-8 under my cotton and use potash in
my top-dresser. One field which showed decided Rust for
15 years is now free of R ast and making as good cotton as
any on the place.
“I have found that peas following oats, fertilized with
soda and kainit in equal parts, make more peas and hay.
There was a big difference in the grain from the use of
potash. I used to allow 18 bundles of oats to the hundred
pounds, but it takes only 14 bundles now.”

C. C. WALLACE, B.f.D. No. J, Newberry, S. C., says: “I used
fertilizer containing 10% potash and top-dressed rusty
spots at first chopping with 100 pounds of NV MURIATE
OF POTASH per acre. On 32 acres, having an average base
production of 90 pounds of lint per acre, I produced an
average of 300 pounds of lint per acre. Some of the best
land ran as high as 500 pounds. The lint was uniform, with
large, wide-open bolls, making picking easy. I had no Rust
and shedding was materially reduced.”
-NV
H. P. MILAM, Sandy Springs, S. C., says: “I fertilized 125
acres of cotton with 600 pounds of 6-8-6 per acre. Six acres
were top-dressed with 50 pounds of NV MURIATE and 75
pounds of soda. We had no rain from May 10 until August
15 except a few small showers. During this drought the
potash top-dressed cotton kept growing, retained its color
and held its fruit. It made more than a bale per acre and
no sign of Rust or Wilt could be found.”

M. W. JACKSON, Wagintr, S. C., say#: “For eight years I.
have been using 8 to 10% potash in my cotton fer
tilizers. People told me it would burn up my crop, but it
never has. It makes my cotton fruit better, boll right up

larger and the lint is higher grade. I use the same fertilizer
for my corn and find that it pays by filling out the ear and
making good grain.”

GEO. A. COPELAND, Clinton, S. C., says: “For the last few
years I have used a potash top-dresser 14-0-10 on my grain
and have been well pleased with the results obtained. Also,
I have increased the amount of potash used under cotton
to double what I was using a few years ago and find that it
pays well —especially on sandy land.”

WILMAS* —u) EV, Timmonsville, S. C., says: “In 193
our vocation'l examined my cotton and found ti.c
it was damaged cy Rust. The leaves shed off the plants
before the cotton wa: matured. The bolls were small and
the cotton hard to pick. The lint was short. In 1936 I used
100 pounds of NV iviURIATE OF POTASH per acre, in
addition to my regular fertilizer. As my cotton began to
mature the leaves cid not shed off. The bolls were large and
properly filled out. The lint was long and strong, and the
yield was far better than it was last year. My net gain,
after paying all expenses, was $12.4 2an acre more than the
year before. I am learning how to s row cotton.”

"NV POTASH PAYS!-*"

.». W. WILLIAMS, Goshen, Ale., says: “NV POTASH paid me
well in 1936. Figuring conservatively, with seed cotton at
four cents a pound, I made a profit of $13.60 per acre, after
allowing for the cost of an extra 100 pounds of NV
MURIATE OF POTASH per acre, in addition to my
regular fertilizer. The NV MURIATE was used as a
top-dresser.”

C. M. GAM MAGE, R.F.D. No. 9, Euianla, Ale., says: “One acre
fertilized with 200 pounds of 6-8-4 mixed goods produced
800 pounds of seed cotton. One acre with the above and 100
pounds of nitrate of soda produced 1,047 pounds of seed
cotton. One acre with the < >ove amounts of mixed goods
and soda, which was top-dressed with 100 pounds of NV
MURIATE OF POTASH, produced 1,299 pounds of seed
cotton. Where the extra potash was applied there was no
Rust whatever.”
-NV-
W. P. BOTETT, R.F.D. No. t, Enterprise, Ala., says: “Where I
top-dressed with NV POTASH I made 933 pounds of seed
cotton per acre against 746 pounds where I didn’t use it.
The NV POTASH made enough extra cotton to pay for all
the fertilizer, soda and potash and still return a profit of
$3.10 per acre. My cotton was badly damaged by two
storms. In a normal year I believe NV POTASH would pay
a still greater profit. It produces larger bolls that are better
matured and easier to pick.”
