DR. WADE STACKHOUSE, Dillon,
S. C., sayi: “In 1894 I grew my
first cotton crop and sold it for
4 % cents per pound, with seed at
11 cents per bushel. In 1901 I
learned that Rust was due to a
shortage of potash and repeatedly
since then I have grown excellent
crops of cotton on ‘cotton-sick’
land by using large amounts of
potash.
“In 1937 here at Dillon I used
6% POTASH in my cotton fer
tilizer at planting and then just
after chopping a top-dresser con
taining 10% POTASH. On my
Millen, Georgia, farm I used
25% POTASH in my cotton top

FLU PRECAUTIONS
ISSUED GEORGIANS
BY HEALTH BOARD
A warning to use precautions to
Prevent catching cold and to ward
influenza and pneumonia was is
sued recently by Dr. T. F. Aber
crombie, director of the State De
partment of Public Health.
“This is the time of year when
public is most vulnerable to
c °hls, influenza and pneumonia.
With decided temperature varia
tions, germs causing respiratory ail
me nts are to be guarded against,”
health director stated.
Care should be exercised in the
Personal application of certain fun
damental rules, such as avoiding
crowds, keeping regular sleeping
,our s, consuming nourishing food,
keeping and working in rooms filled
fresh air, and avoiding drafts,

dresser. For small grains I use a
nitrogen-potash top-dresser, be
cause I find it is better than
straight nitrogen. The extra
potash gives larger yields of
better quality grain, improves
the hay crops which follow, and
leaves the land in better condi
tion for cotton.”
J. E. DAVIDSON, Fori Valley, Ga„
iay*: “On 115 acres of wheat I
used 175 pounds of 20-0-10
(NPK) per acre and averaged 24
bushels. This gave me plump
grain and stalks that would not
bed-down. I used 8 to 10%
Abercrombie stated.
When the first symptoms of a
cold are noticed or any slight illness
is felt persons should go to bed at
once, and send for a physician.
Pneumonia frequently attacks
well people suddenly, and in many
cases, develops in those suffering
from a slight cold, the health direc
tor pointed out. Asa consequence
no cold should be considered to be
a minor ailment.
Dr. Abercrombie also pointed out
that there are many types of pneu
monia, and it is important that a
physician determine the type of the
disease early, as the treatment de
pends on the variety. Early treat
ment with a special serum may be
life-saving for certain types of this
illness.

POTASH in my fertilizer on 263
acres of cotton and made 265
bales. Potash is cheap and farm
ers cannot afford to use less than
8% if they want the best results.”
A. C. THOMPSON, EankUon, Ala.,
says: “A test in 1935 with an
extra 100 pounds of NV MURI
ATE of POTASH per acre con
vinced me of the need of extra
potash for cotton. In 1936 I
produced 13 bales on 14 acres by
using extra potash. In 1937 I
used 10% POTASH in my cotton
fertilizer, having a small plot with
5% POTASH as a check. The

0. 0. Mclntyre, the noted column
ist, says:
“The national mood has become
astonishingly rustic. Everybody, it
would seem, wants to get away from
the turmoil of cities, away where
they can relax and meditate on the
blessed promises. The movies and
plays that stress such a theme im
mediately click.
“It used to be the country boy
going to the city that thrilled, but
now it’s the city boy going back to
the land. Observers say that the
complexities of economics have
shorn many of the ambitions once so
pronounced.
“Men realize it is not going to be
possible for this generation or the
next to build up the huge fortunes
of the recent years. So why strug
gle? Why not take things easy?
And it is impossible to coast in the

withstood the drought and the
rain which followed better. Bolls
were larger and easier to pick. The
yield was about one-third more.”
HAMEH SMITH, Clio, S. C., says:
“In 1937 I put 200 pounds of
nitrate of soda over a field of oats.
On part of the field I added 100
pounds of NV MURIATE of
POTASH per acre. Without the
extra potash the yield was 44
bushels per acre. With the extra
potash the yield was 58 % bushels
per acre, an increase of- 14%
bushels. The hay crop following
the oats was better where the
extra potash was used. I used 6%
larger cities and survive.
“A large percentage of the gran
diose estates on Long Island and in
Westchester are either shuttered or
are for sale. Hundreds of the own
ers are living in the little homes of
the former lodge-keepers and ap
parently enjoying life just as much.
“There are any number, once
wealthy and now just able to keep
j off the sheriff, who say they would
] not go back to The Grand Splurge.
!It may be whistling in the dark,
| but it doesn’t seem so to the ordi-
nary listener.
“Anyway, all the talk is of sim
plicity and contented life on the
prairies and among the hills. It is j
no longer glamorous to be rich. It
is the day of the Have Nots.”

POTASH in my cotton fertilizer
at planting and a nitrogen
potash top-dresser just after
chopping. I ginned the first bale
of cotton in Marlboro county in
1937.”
T. R. HORN, Glenwooc’, Ala., says:
“For 25 years I have used extra
potash as a top-dresser for cot
ton. First, I used 50 pounds of
MURIATE per acre and then
increased the amount to 100
pounds per acre on 300 acres of
cotton. I have used 200 pounds
per acre on some land. This pre
vents Rust and brings my cotton

A HYMN OF THANKSGIVING
For all the blessings of the year,
For sunshine and for showers.
For seedtime and for harvest rich, |
For bird songs and for flowers,
From hearts o’erflowing with Thy

Accept, O Lord, the thanks we raise.
And for the gift of Thy dear Son,
From sin to set us free,
No tongue can tell, no words express
The praise we offer Thee.
For Christ, who came for us to die,;
Accept our thanks, O God on high, j
And for the hope of His return,
Dear Lord, Thy name we praise; j
! With longing hearts we watch and
wait
For that great day of days.
I For Christ, our coming Lord and
King,
To Thes, 0 God, our thanks we
bring.

J. M. GRAHAM, Chester, S. C. (above) says: “I
learned about potash when 1 went to manage
Rose Hill Plantation bet* ten Bishopville and
Sumter in 1921. Those were the 2-8-2 (NPK)
and 3-8-3 days. Theri ■• •• French spots or
Rust in the cotton so we increased our potash
in the fertilizer at planting to 7 rr ,, and then
used 100 pounds of NV I'AINIT per acre
with our nitrogen. We si onped Rust, increased
yields, improved the si.ipte and made better
quality all the way around. In 1934 we made
904 bales on 774 acre...
“Here at the Chest . Seed Farm we made
305 bales on 301 acres in 1036. Potash works
the same here as it di 1 in Lee County. We
used 3-9-7 (NPIQat plantin'; and two applica
tions of 12-0-20 top-dre v. With a bad season
and boll weevil in 1937 we made 342 bales on
350 acres. Potash k< c ■ ton from giving
back, reduces sheduin.. m ike* bigger bells
with better staple an' the result is larger
yields of better quality.
“In 1937 on four am o. wheat, planted
after alfalfa and given i hr.-e applications of
nitrogen-potash top-dri : r ;J25 pounds per
acre), I threshed 161 bushels and had three
big loads of hay from wound the edge of the
