212 BALES ON 212 ACRES
J. E. PRIM, of Daws n, Ga., has had 35
years of experience in forming. This has
taught him that good fertilizer and good
seed are essential to successful cotton pro
duction. He produced 251 bales on 225
acres in 1^34, 178 bales on 198 acres in
1935, and 212 bales on 212 acres in 1936.
He blames his low yield in 1935 on a long
drought.
He uses 400 pounds of 3-9-5 NPK fer
tilizer per acre at planting and top-
dresses with 200 pounds of 14-0-12 after
his cotton is chopped out. Mr. Brim says:
“Potash in my top-dresser prevents Rust
and gives me better maturity, better lint
turn-out and better matured seed. I sell
over 3,000 bushels of Wilt-resistant Seed
annually. The cost of potash is low and
I find high-potash fertilizers profitable
for all farm crops.”

CONTROLS WILT
E. F. CALHOUN, of Eufaula, Ala.,
says: “Cotton, well-fed with PJV
Potash, weighs 10 to 15 pounds
more per basketful than cotton
grown with just my regular fertilizer.
The plants look healthier and fruit
closer. Where I had NV Potash I had
no Wilt but lots of stalks died where
I had only my regular fertilizer.”
BIG, PRETTY BOLLS
FEWER BOLLS MAKE A POUND
“Look at that top crop,’’says H. J. JOHNSON, of Wagener,
S. C. “That’s where extra potash gets in its best work
with large, fully matured bolls right up to the top of the
stalk. It takes fewer of these bolls to make a pound.
Plenty of potash makes the cotton pick better and im
proves the staple.
“Since 1934 I have been giving my cotton three times
as much potash as I did before and have been making
considerably more cotton. Rust has been stopped in most
of my fields but s-’me spots need still more potash. I use
a good complete fertilizer at planting and extra potash as
a top-dressing along with my nitrogen. The use of 3-8-8
NPK fertilizer at planting is growing in our section.”
Mr. Johnson, standing in hi, pet patch which pro
duced 3,657 pounds of lint on three acres. He doubled
his potash application in this field. 1,000 pounds of
seed cotton per acre had been picked before this
picture was taken.
W. A. ROBINETT, of Enterprise, Ala., says: “In
1936 1 had 30 acres in cotton and used 400 pounds of
3-8-5 NPK guano per acre. I top-dressed two acres
with 100 pounds of Soda per acre and on one of these
1 put an additional 100 pounds of NV Muriate of
Potash. On the entire 30 acres I made nine bales of
cotton. The acre top-dressed only with Soda made
570 pounds of seed cotton. The acre tep-dressed with
Soda and NV Potash made 919 pounds—a gain of
349 pounds of seed cotton. Allowing for the cost of
potash this is a profit of $16.54 per acre. You could
tell the potash cotton by walking through it. It
stayed vigorous and healthy and kept making the
biggest, prettiest bolls I ever saw.”
DOUBLED HIS YIELD
H. F. STRENGTH, of Daleville, Ala., says: “In 1936
I top-dressed 7 !s acres with 100 pounds of NV Muriate
of Potash per acre anti made seven 500-pound bales
and 138 pounds of lint. That figures a bale to the acre
as compared with 1,000 pounds of seed cotton per
acre in 1935, when only part of my cotton was top-
dressed with NV Potash and half a bale to the acre in
1934, when I didn’t use any extra potash.
“In 1934 my cotton rusted badly, like most cotton
in this section. I decided to try potash top-dressing
and I have been well pleased with the results. This
year my cotton stayed healthy and kept growing,
while my neighbor’s, adjoining me, rusted badly and
died. I am going to top-dress every acre of cotton I
plant this year with NV Potash.”
16 BALES ON 9 ACRES *
M. L. O CAIN, of Orangeburg, S. C., says: “On my average cotton crop last
year I used 4 c potash in the fertilizer at planting and 200 pounds per acre of
top-dressing consisting of NV Muriate of Potash and Nitrate of Soda in equal
parts. I had no Rust, except on a three-acre block where I didn’t use the extra
potash. The photographs tell the story.
“On one block of 91/20 acres which I fertilized rather heavily, using 160
pounds of MV Muriate as a top-dresser, I made 16 bales and a remnant. On
one field where cowpess followed oats, which had received only nitrogen, I
lost my hay crop. But on another field where the oats got 60 pounds of NV
Muriate per acre with the nitrogen, I made a ton of pea-vine hav per acre,”
WHEN you buy your fertilizer and top-dresser, tell your fertilizer man
you want more NV POTASH. Plan now to top-dress with 100 pounds of NV
MURIATE or 200 pounds of NV KAINIT per acre, or use a nitrogen-
potash, mixed-goods top-dresser containing 10 to 25% NV POTASH. If
you prefer to use your extra potash at planting, select a fertilizer containing
8 to 10% NV POTASH. Where Rust has been very severe you may need
both high-potash fertilizer at planting and potash top-dressing to STOP
RUST and START PROFITS.
Thousands of farmers have found that it pays to give cotton a lot more
potash than the average fertilizer contains. NV POTASH keeps cotton strong
and healthy, maturing fruit until a full crop is made (including a good top
crop). It PREVENTS RUST, helps control Wilt and produces strong, vig
orous plants with less shedding, larger bolls that are easier to pick and
better yields of uniform, high-quality lint. NV POTASH PAYS!
