The Southwestern Soil Improvement Association reports high grade fertilizers like 4-8-4 and 4-12-4 raise seed cotton yields. Tests in Arkansas counties show an average 540 pounds more per five tests, with potential net gains near $20 per acre using 400 pounds of fertilizer. War conditions limit early spring fertilizer changes. county agent Oliver L. Adams notes recent Hempstead county shipments of nitrates, phosphates, and mixed blends.
