134 bales of cotton, averaging 512
pounds each, on 125 acres —that’s
the 1928 accomplishment of Mr.
Paul Burson, of Monroe, Georgia.
Broadcasting over the radio from
Atlanta recently Mr. Burson said:
“My success is due to soil improve
ment —I practice liberal fertilization
and intensive cultivation...l carried
out a test in 1928 using 100 to 150
pounds of muriate of potash as a
side application with 200 pounds of
nitrate of soda and found that potash
increased my yields from 100 to 300
pounds of seed cotton per acre."
Here are the results of his test, in
which he compared three plots, all
fertilized the same way except that
two plots received extra potash as
a top-dressing:

Mr. Burson is just one of
more than 250 cotton grow

potash pays extra cash. Each
$1 invested in potash top
dressing returned them an
average of $5.50 in extra seed
cotton.

PORTER FERTILIZER

Grow Cotton
at a lower cost per pound
•
How to grow cotton at a lower cost per pound is the big
problem the Southern Farmer faces today. There is
abundant evidence to show how this can be done.
THE FAMOUS PORTER FEETILIZERS
are adapted to the soils of Rockdale and adjoining Coun
ties. A liberal amount of this well balanced fertilizer will
produce larger profits from cotton.
Farmers crop contests, results of experiment station tests,
and the experience of thousands of practical farmers clear
j em^ ns^ra^e that the more liberal use of a well-balanc
ed fertilizer will greatly increase acre yields and lower the
per pound cost of producing the crop.
High yields per acre and low cost of production go hand in
hand.
PORTERS’ FERTILIZERS have been sold and used suc
cessfully in this territory for more than a quarter of a cen
tury.
A full line of PORTERS’ FERTILIZESS is carried by-
