cost of all fertilizers for 20 acres On Coastal Pain soils with red subsoils ton of kainit increased the yield of seed cotton 28O pounds worth $11 00, which is more than enough to pay for all fertilizers applied to 20 acres Additional kainit did not pro duce profitable increase The Black Belt of lime lands of middle AIahana show response of 1.120 pounds additional seed cot for ton of kainit and 1,640 pounds for. two tons of kainit. At cents per pound the above in- than pay for all acid phosphate. nitrate of soda and kaint applied to 20 acres.
 There two divisions of soil in Alabama CPed- mont and Appalachian Plateaus) on which potash does not increase the yield sufficiently to pay for all fertilizers applied, but on these divisions the return per dollar invested in potash is $2o1 and $S6s. re- spectively, for application of one ton fkant to 20 acres. Extra kainit was not profitable.
 In north Alabama throughout the Limestone Val ley region, there isolated of gray and yell low chert-free lands with yellow subsoils on which potash gives largest returns in the state. One ton of kainit increased the yield 2,240 poundseed cot ton, and two tons kainit 200 pounds seed cotton per 20 acres. These yields worth $21960 and $2S8. .0O, respectively. The return per dollar in- vested is $l6.o9 and $l1.0S, respectively. The heavy red clay lands found in the Limestone Valley region of north Alabama, according to the farmers of that section, do not need commercial potash, but the tests show that ton of kanit, cost ing $130O increased the yield of seed'cotton 1900 pounds, worth $11700.
 There are other results from various subdivisions in line with data given above. In studying the re- turns per dollar invested in the various fertilizer materials it was found that the profit from potash greater than from either phosphoric acid nitrogen, with the exception of the Piedmont Plateau soils. ~S
 Potash is very essential, and the most profitable ingredient in fertilizer mixtures for cotton in Ala bama. Apply 6S cents worth of potash per Jr-e and it win make enough additional cotton to pay all the fertilizer materials added, except on the t, soils noted above.

EEBoyd says Potashis most profitable ingredients in fertilizer mixtures'for cotton, in Alabama.

TN an article in BETTER CROPS, F. E. Boyd.
 Agronomist of the Alabama Extension Service, A gives figures that prove potash profitable.
 He says:
 The principal field crop in Alabama is cotton. During the 1923 season. 767 per cent of all the fer tlizers used applied to this crop. When bale of cotton (seed lint and stalk is produced given of land, it from the soil 28 pounds of phosphoric acid, 75 pounds of nitrogen and 54 pounds of potash. Either the soil must give up these fertilizer clements or they must be supplied in com mercal form. The average acre of land devoted to cotton in Alabama contains in the surface seven inches less than ,000 pounds of phosphoric acid and less nitrogen. The potash content of this land varies from about 2500 pounds in the Coastal Plain region to approximately 25,000 pounds per acre seven inches in the heavy clay lands of east and north Alabama.
 With the above analyses figures basis farmers have been led to believe that when buying fertilizer ingredients for cotton, it was not necessary to in- clude any potash for the clay lands of the northeast two-fths of Alabama, and not much, if any, on lands with red subsoils throughout the Coastal Plain ton of the state.
 Since it is generally conceded by all farmers that phosphoric acid and nitrogen essential for the normal development of the cotton plant, and that potash, being present in such abundant quantities in most sols is not essential and be easily left of the mixture, it shall be the purpose of the remainder of this discussion to show what potassic fertilizers have done and are capable of doing for the farmers of Alabama
 The Alabama Experiment Station, in cooperation with 143 "dirt" farmers representing every soil division in the state, conducted from 1911 to 1922 more than 200 regular cotton fertilizer tests These tests covered period of IF years and included years before and after the appearance of the boNweevil. with high and low rainfall and other conditions that might be Expected during any 12-year period.
 Based on these tests, the Alabama Station recom- mends for cotton minimum application of 200 pounds acid phosphate, 100 pounds nitrate of soda and 100 to 200 pounds of kanit or its equivalent, per acre At this rate per acre, and at the present cash price of fertilizer materials the total cost of fertilizers for 20 of cotton is $950o $1O800 depending the amount of potash used. Kaint valued at $1300 per ton and seed cotton at per pound
 On the gray lands with yellow subsoils of south- east Alabama one and two tons of kainit on 20 3o6O pounds, valued at $131.40 and $275.40 re- spectively. Compare these values with the total

NEW YORK, Dec TIT has

Castro, the president of Venezuela,
would bring half of Europe down
upon his neck because he chose TO

1t may be that the name of

He saw himself as a Napoleon of
