It compares earthly hunger to spiritual hunger, urging listeners to seek righteousness, forsake sinful ways, and trust that God fulfills promises.

Side Dressing For Cotton and Corn Demonstrations

The Chilean Nitrate Educational Bureau and related departments ran 280 cotton and 174 corn side-dressing tests from 1986 to 1989. Cotton yielded 1133 pounds per acre with Chilean Nitrate vs 764 without, while corn reached 30 bushels per acre with Nitrate versus 18 without. Results suggest nitrogen boosting yields with proper timing, rain, and age, notably 40 to 50 days after planting. Georgia could double corn yields with 82 pounds of nitrogen per acre, supporting wider adoption by FFA, 4 H, and adult farmers to profit from cotton and corn.
