COTTON BLIGHT. 



Cotton blight can be largely, if not entirely, prevented 

 by the use of kainit Prof. Atkinson states as the results 

 of his experiments, that " in all of these plots it was easy to 

 see by comparison with the others that the entire or partial 

 prevention of the disease was due to the kainit * * * 



NO FERTILIZER. 



POTASH AND NITROGEN. 



There can be no doubt as to the effect of kainit, as my 

 former experience is the same as that of this year, but I 

 think to thoroughly prevent the disease would require not 

 less than 500 or 600 pounds of kainit per acre."
