* The Seminole Indians
More than a century ago when
the Indians were being driven from
this section of the country and cor
ralled in the territories, the Semi
noles barricaded themselves in the
Everglades of Florida and refused
to be driven from their place of
abode and native section of this
country. For years, the Seminoles
have lived in the great swamps of
Florida, refusing to deal with the
white man, and when pressed, these
helpless, native Americans, have
moved deeper and deeper into the
reservation of the Everglades.
Federal authorities have tried to
overcome the bitterness held by the
Seminoles against the white man.
In various ways the government has
tried to gain their confidence and
establish friendly relations, but to
no avail. Some years ago, the fed
eral authorities in Washington had
built a commodious school building
at Miami, for the Indian children,
but when the school was opened the
Indians refused to send their chil-
dren. Now, however, it appears
that a more friendly feeling exists
among the Seminoles. Recently a
petition was received by the authori
ties in Washington, requesting that
a school be established at Brighton.
This action by the Indians is an in
dication of a better understanding
on their part of the intention and
purposes of the white man.

THROUGHOUT the South there is a definite swing to fertilizers well balanced
with plenty of NV POTASH. Farmers are asking for more NV POTASH in
their fertilizer because the small extra cost of the extra potash returns them
greatly increased yields of better quality crops. Look at your new fertilizer
price list. Note how little extra it will cost you to use a higher potash mixture.
Figured in terms of an acre, the extra cost is so small it will surprise you.
fat COTTON
8% POTASH in your fertilizer helps to PREVENT
RUST, control Wilt and produces vigorous, healthy
plants with less shedding, larger bolts that are easier
to pick and better yields of uniform, high-quality lint.
To completely PREVENT RUST, many farmers also
apply extra potash as a side-dressing, using either NV
MURIATE, NV KAINIT, or a mixed-goods top-dresser
containing plenty of NV POTASH.
jjo t TOBACCO
8% POTASH in your fertilizer reduces wastage, im
proves the body, makes smoother leaves, reduces dis
eases and produces bigger yields of better quality
which bring better prices. Tobacco is a potash-loving
crop, removing from the soil more potash than both
nitrogen and phosphoric acid combined. Many farm
ers find that it pays to side-dress their tobacco 20 days
after transplanting in the field with 100 to 200 pounds
of NV SULPHATE of POTASH per acre.
fat CORN
8% POTASH in your fertilizer prevents burning of
corn blades at the tip and along the margins, produces
healthier stalks that withstand dry weather better,
increases yields and gives you ears that fill to the tip
with better quality grain. The bushel test weight is
higher. An application of 300 pounds of fertilizer con
taining 8% POTASH supplies enough potash for 24
bushels of corn. Many farmers use extra potash in
their top-dressers for corn.

"JOHN D.” LEFT AN ESTIMATE
OF 26 MILLION, MOSTLY CASH
New York.—John D. Rockfeller,
Sr., who died in Florida on May 28,
1937, left a net estate of $26,410,-
837, consisting principally of securi
ties.
A transfer tax appraisal filed list
ed the gross estate at $26,905,182,
of which more than $17,000,000 was
in United States treasury notes.
Virtually the entire estate was
left in trust for a granddaughter,
Mrs. Margaret Strong DeCuevas;
her two children; and the Rockefel
er Institute for Medical Research.
It was estimated that the state
would collect $4,616,467 in taxes.
The only other beneficiary was
John D. Rockfeller, Jr.

GEMS OF THOUGHT
Simplicity, of all things, is the
hardest to be copied.—Steele.
tt t t
Simplicity of character is the na
tural result of profound thought.—
Hazlitt.
“Love one another" (I John
3:23), is the most simple and pro
found counsel of the inspired writer.
—Mary Baker Eddy.
tt t t
Nothing is more simple than great
ness; indeed, to be simple is to be
great.—Emerson.
tt t t
There is a majesty in simplicity
which is far above the quaintness of
wit. —Pope.
fat VEGETABLES
8% POTASH in your fertilizer produces bigger yields
of the No. 1 grades that bring top prices—vegetables
that are uniform in size, shape, color, texture and
flavor. Potash-fed crops stand up under shipping and
reach the market fresh, bright and firm. Potash is the
quality builder. Remember, the average truck crop
removes from the soil more potash than both nitrogen
and phosphoric acid combined.
fat POTATOES
8% POTASH in your fertilizer produces smooth,
chunky, uniform No. 1 potatoes of better color and
more even maturity. Potash-fed potatoes are more
compact, better developed, thicker, shorter and wider
—they have a high starch and low protein content,
making them white, mealy and palatable when cooked.
A minimum of 10% POTASH in sweet potato fertilizer
is recommended.
fat PEANUTS
8% POTASH in your fertilizer is needed to maintain
a proper soil plant-food balance and to replace potash
removed. When fertilizing peanuts, the crops that fol
low should be considered. It is often said that peanuts
YOUR FERTILIZER MAN will be glad to supply you with a mixture well bal
anced with 8% POTASH, derived from genuine NV POTASH, that will increase
the yields and improve the quality of your crops. Tell him you want this high
quality fertilizer that contains so much extra-profit-producing plant food at such
low extra cost. Tell him you want more NV POTASH in your fertilizer. It Pays!

As taxes are greatly reduced this

State, County, and Schools need the
money due them. By paying, you
save the interest and cost of fi fas.

Tax Collector, Jackson County.
are “hard on land.” This is because a good crop of
nuts and vines removes a very large amount of potash
from the soil. Cotton following peanuts generally suf
fers from Rust, or potash starvation.
fat TOMATOES
8% POTASH in your fertilizer greatly increases the
yield of No. 1 tomatoes and reduces the cat-faces,
puffs, culls and small, poorly-colored fruits. It keeps
tomato plants vigorous and productive, helps them to
resist disease and adverse weather, reduces cracking
around the stems of the fruit, increases the percentage
of good, red color and thickens the walls, making the
fruit firm, well-filled-out and meaty.
fat ORCHARDS
8% POTASH in your fertilizer increases the yield of
high-quality fruit and improves the foliage and tree
vigor of your orchard. Potash-fed trees resist disease
and winter injury and produce fruit of better size and
color and better keeping quality. Fruit trees, like gen
eral crops, need balanced fertilizer to produce good
yields year after year.
fat OATS and WHEAT
8% POTASH in your grain fertilizer, followed by a
top-dresser containing extra potash, gives you in
creased yields and plump, bright grain that has extra
weight per bushel. The hay crop that follows is an all
legume hay with very little, if any, crab grass. When
you remove both a small grain crop and a hay crop
from the same land, you rob the soil of its available
potash unless you supply the grain crop with abun
dant potash. When this is done, the soil is in much
better condition for the crops which follow.
