TOP-DRESSING COTTON with 125 pounds of KAINIT per
acre produced 364 pounds MORE seed cotton per acre, or top
dressing with 250 pounds of KAINIT per acre produced 445
pounds MORE seed cotton per acre in tests conducted by the
North Carolina Experiment Station on fields damaged by Rust
in previous years.
The extra cotton that KAINIT produced represents a better
profit than most farmers made when lint was 12 cents per
pound. Figure it out for yourself: Subtract the cost of the
KAINIT from the value of the extra cotton that KAINIT
produced.
The table below shows the results of this experiment. Study it carefully.
All plats received 400 lbs. Where Top-dressed Top-dressed
of 3-8-3 per acre at plant- NO KAINIT with KAINIT with KAINIT
ing and 100 lbs. of nitrate was used as at 125 pounds at 250 pounds
of soda top-dressing top-dressing per acre per acre
Seed Cotton per Acre 775 pounds 1,139 pounds 1,220 pounds

Lint Index 5.41 grams 6.75 grams 7.17 grams
Fiber Strength 3.28 grams 4.38 grams 4.55 grams
Strong Fibers 68 % 76% 83%
Note that the KAINIT top-dressing not only produced many
extra pounds of seed cotton, it also improved the quality of the
entire crop. KAINIT produced heavier bolls, heavier seed, more
lint per seed, better grade, longer staple and stronger fibers.
RADIO STATIONS GET
ULTIMATUM
Chicago.—A blunt notice that the
standards of radio programs must be
improved —by law, if necessary
was served upon the nation s broad
casters by Federal Communications
Commissioner George Henry Payne.
Contending the ether waves were
the inalienable property of the pub
lic, he told the national conference
of educational broadcasting:
“The ideals of the broadcasters
must be changed, even if such chang
es are made at the risk of a severe
jolt to these gentlemen. Like the
moving pictures, the average pro
gram of these broadcasters is ad
dressed to an intelligence possessed
by a child of 12. It is important to
raise this average to the adult age;
otherwise there is the danger that
radio will perpetuate mental im
maturity in the grown-up.
“There is the danger that radio
and the movies will in time make us
a nation of grownup children. Radio
must be prevented from stopping
the growth of the American mind.”
Man’s Pockets Picked As He Warns
Gypsies
Augusta, Ga. —While H. L. Mur
phey, prominent merchant of He
phzibah, was talking to three gypsies
and telling them they must not camp
on his place, they removed a roll of
bills amount to S3O from his pocket,
and drove off in their car, he said.
County officers later apprehended
two, a man and a woman, and placed
them in Richmond County Jail.
They are booked as Tom and Rose
Jlobinson.
FINLAND WILL PAY
HER DEBT ON TIME
Washington. —Finland took steps
to preserve its record for prompt
payment of its war debt to the Unit
ed States, notifying this government
it would meet the December 15 in

One of the 13 war debtor nations
which together will owe $1,680,-
179,447 this month, Finland alone
has not defaulted in the past.
The other 1? have been in de
fault since 1933. None has given
any indication thus far that it in

WORDS OF A GREAT
STATESMAN
Benjamin Harvey Hill, of Georgia,
was a great statesman before and
after the Civil War.
From one of his great speeches
these words of wisdom are taken:
Who saves his country saves all
things, and all things saved do bless
him. But he who lets his country
die lets all things die; and all things
dying curse him.
THE JACKSON HERALD, JEFFERSON, GEORGIA
REMEMBER THE SABBATH
(From Crisp County News)
There might have been a time
when the people herabout possessed
a feeling of alarm as they viewed
those of other sections, perhaps
mostly in other nearby states,
working on the Sabbath. But if so,
that time has passed. Today finds
our own city with many of its busi
ness places wide open early on Sun
day morning and ready for the big
gest day’s business of the seven
days. The most alarming part of it
is the fact that our people appear to
take it as matter of fact, pass it up,
and there is nothing done about it.
Like so many other things which
should not be tolerated, but which
are treated in a like manner, it
grows worse week by week. Ere
long, unless there can be some re
strictions thrown around such do
ings, it might be that all places of
business will be kept open and all
classes of laborers will be required
to work seven days each week.
The Good Book says, “Six days
shall work be done: but the seventh
day is the Sabbath of rest, a holy
convocation, ye shall dto no work
therein: it is the Sabbath of the
Lord in all your dwellings.”
OLD TIMER
The oldest grocer in the United
States, in the point of service, is
believed to be 83-year-old Albert A.
Cole of South Portland, Maine. He
went to work the day Lincoln de
livered his famous Gettysburg ad
dress—74 years ago.

PROFITS START WHEN YOU STOP RUST!
NORTH CAROLINA EXPERIMENT STATION
recommends top-dressing cotton with 125
to 250 pounds of KAINIT or 50 to 100
pounds of MURIATE per acre on fields
which rusted in the past and where the fer
tilizer contains only 3% potash.
SOUTH CAROLINA EXPERIMENT STATION
found that 120 pounds of MURIATE per
acre increased the yield by 686 pounds of
seed cotton per acre. In these tests, fer
tilizer was used at 600 pounds per acre:
5-10-0 produced 557 pounds of seed cotton,
5-10-5 produced 1,015 pounds and 5-10-10
IT WILL PAY YOU to get the extra yields and extra quality
that extra potash adds to your crop at such very low extra cost.
PROFITS START WHEN YOU STOP RUST! Use fertilizer
well-balanced with 8 to 10% NV POTASH at planting; or top
dress with 100 pounds of NV MURIATE per acre, 200 pounds
of NV KAINIT, or use a mixed-goods top-dresser containing
plenty of genuine NV POTASH. All of these are on sale by
your fertilizer man.

A GROWING DISEASE
Morbus Sabbaticus attacks the pa
tient suddenly every Sunday; no
symptoms are felt on Saturday night,
the patient sleeps well, wakes up
feeling well; eats a hearty break
fast, but about church time the at
tack comes on and continues until
services are over for the morning.
Then the patient feels easy and eats
a hearty dinner. In the afternoon
he feels much better and is able to
take a walk, talk about politics, and
read; he eats a hearty supper, but
about church time he has another
attack and stays at home. He re
tires early, sleeps well, and wakes
up Monday morning refreshed and
able to go to work and does not have
any symptoms of the disease until
following Sunday. The peculiar
features are as follows:
1. It always attacks members of
the church.
2. It never makes its appearance
except on Sunday and prayer meet
ing night.
3. The symptoms vary, but it nev
er interferes with the sleep or appe
tite.
4. It never lasts more than twen
ty-four hours.
5. It sometimes attacks the head
of the family.
6. It is contagious.
7. No physician is ever called.
8. It always proves fatal in the
end to the soul.
9. No remedy is known for it ex
cept prayer.
10. Christ is the only antidote.
—Mrs. Grier Daxis, in The Calhoun
Times.
PRODUCED 1,243 POUNDS. The potash
was equally effective applied at planting
or as a top-dressing.
GEORGIA COASTAL PLAIN EXPERIMENT
STATION produced 1,092 pounds of seed
cotton per acre with 600 pounds of 3-9-5
fertilizer. By adding 50 pounds of MURI
ATE top-dressing the yield was increased
to 1,142 pounds, with 100 pounds of
MURIATE the yield was 1,221 pounds,
with 150 pounds of MURIATE the yield
was 1,316 pounds and with 200 pounds of
MURIATE the yield was 1,403 pounds.
