on twice as heavy, the yield was better and the bolls were larger
although it was on poor soil."

FACTS ON KEEPING
THE LAWN
Much progress has been made to
wards improving lawns, but in many
cases the foundations of successful
la'wn development and maintenance
have been overlooked. Developing a
good lawn and maintaining it requires;
careful grading, drainage, good soil
proper fertilization, and systematic!
mowing, says on NV Potash Institute
bulletin.
Proper grading is important to give
an interesting effect. Drainage is nec
essary to adapt the soil to the re
quirements of the lawn grasses, since
most of them do not thrive on poorly
drained soils. A good soil is also es
sential but most any soil well prepared
supp]ied with the essential plant
foods may be used successfully .
| Alter the soil is well prepared, the
J bulletin continues, the fertilizer should
be worked into the upper four inches
of soil, and the seed broadcast, or the
sod transplanted- In the case of per
j nianent laWn grasses, the seed should
be planted in the spring after the
.... . .. .. .
with a iight roller to insure a good
I stand. If sod is used, it may be trans
; planted at most any season of the
year, provided there is sufficient
moisture in the soil to insure growth.
It should be covered so as to leave
smooth surface for mowing.
The most common failure in main
taining a lawn is the lack of proper
fertilization. An annual spring ap
plication of a good complete fertilizer,
such as the 4-8-8 or 6-8-8 mixtures,
and frequent light applications of nit
rogenous fertilizer, during the grow
ing season, are found to be the best
fertilizer treatment for lawns, In
many cases a fall application of com
plete fertilizer is advisable for fertil
izing shrubs, and winter grasses seed-
W. J. VERDIN, Greenville, S. C., says: "Despite bad
weather and boll weevil, I got 600 pounds of seed
cotton per acre at first picking and the photograph
below shows open cotton for the second picking

while still others use a nitrogen-potash mixed-goods
top-dresser, made with genuine NV POTASH. All of
these are on sale by your fertilizer man.
Different farmers apply extra' NV POTASH in dif
ferent ways, but all agree that extra NV POTASH
pays. Choose your own method of application, but
make sure you use more NV POTASH if you want
your cotton to stay on the job producing bigger yields
of a better quality crop.

ed in the fall. The complete fertil
izer, if applied in the spring only,
should be applied at the rate of from
thirty to forty pounds per 1,000 square
feet of lawn. If applied in two appli
cations, spring and fall, one half thi 3
amount may be used at each applica
ti^n.
Commercial fertilizers are largely
organic salts of high concentration

"This field had hlgh-potash fertilizers
for three years," says M. L. O'CAIN,
Orangeburg, S. C. "In 1938 I used
4% POTASH fertilizer at planting
and top-dressed with 100 pounds of
NV MURIATE OF POTASH per acre
in addition to nitrogen. The boll
weevil got all of the top crop but the
yield was still two bales per acre. In
19371 made 11 Vi bales on five acres."
