Beulah Bogue Farmer Friends: FOR BETTER YIELDS FROM YOUR FIELDS Use SCO-CO Fertilizers There Is a SCO-CO Fertilizer For Every Crop Manufactured By The Southern Cotton Oil Co. HERTFORD, N. C, NO NITBQGEN PHOSPHORUS NITROGEN FERTILIZER POTASH PHOSPHORUS POTASH MAKES PEANUTS MORE PROFITABLE than $15 increase in profit per acre has been realized in experimental work where pea nuts were grown with 40 lbs. of actual potash (K20). In addition to increasing the yield, the potash made the nuts larger, filled out the shells, and reduced the number of "pops." Your fertilizer should contain enough potash to insure a profitable peanut crop and still leave some fertility for the crop following. A mixed fertilizer containing 8 potash applied at the rate of 500 lbs. per acre or 80 lbs. of a high-grade potash material will supply 40 lbs. or more of actual potash per acre. ' Ask your county agent or experiment station how much potash your soil will supply and how much to add for a good crop of peanuts. Then make sure that your dealer sells you a fertilizer containing enough potash to supply what you need. You will be surprised how little extra it costs. Write us for further information and free literature on the profitable fertilisation of four crops.
