for the following reasons:
1st. It can be supplied at about ONE HAIY Tia
cost Of Peruvian. I'd. 1t has been proven to con.
bine property peculiar to it, which DESTROYS
ALL INSECTS in the soil, where the Peruvian
produces them to an extent which neutralizes to
great degree its fertilizing qualities Sd. It has
