Order Seeds Early

Orders for seeds should be
sent out carly. 1t is always a
good plan to order carly. Then
If there is any mistake or delay
in filing the order or making de-
livery, there IS time enough
left to get the matter straighten-
ed out by planting time. 1t
sometimes happens that the
stock of a certain line OF seeds
carried by dealer runs out
before the last Of the season.
and those who order late must
be disappointed. These argu-
mcnts for early orders hold good
every year. but this year there
is an additional rcason-namely.
a serious shortage Of cars exists
all over the country and freight
often cannot be moved as
promptly asin other years. On
the whole, the man who places
his order carly has a much bet
ter chance OF being satisfied
with the results. The advant-
age OF having good seeds is too
great for one 10 take any chances
on not getting them.

many as a sort of revolution in
practice is that the use OF some
potash is recommended for
gro wing cotton, after a number
OF experiment stations in the
cotton belt have said Southern
soils have enough potash for
most crops. Dr.. Knapp has
been in charge OF experiments
with cotton and has been able TO
observe the results OF a great
number OF experiments over a
wide territory and under vari-
Gus conditions. The reasons he
gives for the use Of potash for
cotton is that it improves the
fiber. something all desire. He
also states that to some extent

il prevents the shedding OF bolls.
