Potash, for fertilizing, is scarcer than hen’s teeth.
No use to look to Germany, the normal source of sup
ply, for Potash can’t be gotten from there now.
But you can get Potash right here at home, in fer
tilizer which contains as a source of its ammonia
{
Every pound of Cotton Seed Meal, in addition to supplying
from 7% to 7i% of Ammonia, also contains 21% of Phosphoric
Acid and an average of 2% of Potash.
When your fertilizer contains Cotton Seed Meal, it not only
supplies your soil with the desired amount of ammonia, but
: also gives to it Potash in the most desirable form and in an
| amount larger than can be obtained from any other source of
ammonia. In addition it furnishes over 27 of Phosphoric Acid,
| another most important and valuable element of plant food,
; which fact is not generally appreciated.
I The fact must not be lost sight of that in using Cotton Seed
Meal you have a fertilizer which feeds the growing plant grad
vally during its entire growth and leaves in the soil a most
; valuable humws with which to sustain succeeding crops.
' A demonstration recently conducted at the State College
of Agriculture, extending over two years, proved that the best
&roduction per acre was made through the use of cotton Seed
Ll eal as a source of ammonia. '
! When your fertilizer is based upon Cotton Seed Meal, it
contains all that the other sources of ammonia have, and in
addition, Potash, which the other sources have not.

Twenty Miilion Bales More Likely
Than Twenty Cents a Pound,
Says Hastings,
Atlanta, Ga.—(Special)—That 1917
is a “danger year” for the south, and
that there is “dynamite in the pres
ent cotton situation for the cotton
growing farmer,” are the warning
words used by H. G. Hastings, presi
dent of the Southeastern Fair Asso
ciation and the Georgia Chamber of
Commerce, in an interview given to
the newspapers here urging farmers
not to increase their cotton acreage.
“Eighteen to twenty cent cotton at
planting time in spring,” he says, “is
the bait that will lure hundreds of
thousands of farmers in the south ‘to
each put in a few extra acres, and
should nature smile on the crop as in
1914, we-will come nearer a twenty
million bale crop than 20 cents per
pound, for evidence multiplies daily.
that they are ‘planting right up to'
the graveyard,’ as it is sometimes ex
pressed. ke :
*“On the Hastings farm we don’t ex
pect to put in an acre more of cotton
than we did last year, because we
think it a time above all others to
play safe. What we will increase to
the limit of our ability will be food,
grain and forage, beet cattle and
hogs. ‘-
“The safe way is to first supply all
needs of family and stock from one’s
own acres, and then put surplug acre
age in cotton. With bread and meat
in .hand, and -a garden producing
steadily through spring, summer and
fall; with home canned vegetables and
fruits on closet shelves for winter ta
ble use; with corn in the crib and hay
and fodder in the barn or stack, the
farmer can be largely independent of
cotton prices in the fall. The farmer
g 0 provided for is ncver ‘distressed.’
He can sit on his cotton bales with
mind at ease, and sell in his own good
time when prices are right. . Pie
“With labor comparatively scarce
and fertilizer high, any material in
crease in cotton acreage must nec
essarily be at the expense of food and
grain acres that are in reality far
more responsible for the south’s pres
ent prosperity than is 18 to 20 cent
cotton. '
“Memories are short, but wise far
mers need only to look back to 1914
and see the disaster due to too much
cotton that can’'t be eaten, and the
lack of food that one must eat. 1 re
peat this year of 1917, is a danger
year. Any farmer who increases cot
ton acreage and cuts food crop acres
is gambling with the cards stacked
against him.”
