.utnn NJ HYDE park VI

From S. W. Newton, No. Hyde Park. Vt.
Spread one ton of salt on four acres and
SOWed TO oats, all of 1t steep side hill, upon
which have never known any manure to be
drawn. Had SOWed some two acres to oats for
3 successive years and obtained more last year
where | used salt than in the three previous
years altogether. 1t is much cheaper and re-
suits as good. if not better than commercial
fertilizers, for small grains and on dry or sandy
soil.
From E. NJ. Davis, johnson, VT
Sowed half a ton on two and half acres of
land last season and received as good oats as l
did when ! used 10 loads OF manure to the acre.
Shall use two tons this year.
From A. L. Jennings. Wolcott, vt.
Have used the salt for killing paint-b brush. 1t
has always killed wherever used for that pur-
pose.

give perfect satisfaction.
From H. F. Hayford, Eden, vt.
Am fully convinced that as fertilizer for
oats 1t is the best and cheapest in the market.
Used 800 pounds to the acre IN place of manure
with good results.
From Geo. Courser, johnson, vt.
Results very good on oats and barley, but
failure on my potatoes Think perhaps put on
too much
From II. Z. Kneeland, johnson, vt.
Used salt in 1913 on varions crops with good
results, but best results to Oat crop. Turned
over several acres OF worn out grass land and
sowed it at the rate of 400 lbs. per acre with no
other fertilizer, also used it on Oat stubble of
previous sowing, and in both cases as good re.
suits were obtained as when ! used barn ma
nure. Think it is the cheapest fertilizer for the
money invested that Rave used. Intend to use
more the coming season.
From Mrs. Ella A. QUAD, johnson, VT
Have used your salt for the last five years
with very good success. Last year used salt,
ashes and lime on oats and new stocked land,
also salt alone on potatoes. Think it Just right
for dry land. Intend TO use more next year
than last
From VIM Reaves, johnson, Vt.

rels of eached, and barrels of unleached
ashes, and soWed on five acres of oats. Could
see decided improvement over the acre tina
had none of the mixture. Think it paid me fully
twice its cost
From a. w. Edwards, Jacksonville, vt.
Sowed 5000 Tbs. on 10 acres ofvery poor, badly
run out land. Used no manure Threshed out
367 bushels oats, ana there were several bushels
wasted by severe storm just before harvest.
Think the use of salt gives more grain and bet
ter quality. Gives good results on dry land.
From Ex-Selecman A. c. Davis, Hyde Park.
SOwed half ton OF your salt ON two acres OF
ground. Ground not in good condition. Had
raised two crops before on same land with very
little manure. Result. good crop of oats, and
the oats weighed more than 80 lbs. to the bushel.
Think salt coed for dry, light soil. Shall use
more next season.
From W. S. Newcomb, Eden, vt.
Used it on oats. Made straw sitter and
brighter and less liable to lodge and rust and
the grain heavier. The best fertilizer, consider
ing Its cost, that can get, especially on light,
dry soil Keeps the ground moist and insuros
better catch where it is desired to sow grass
seed with oats.
From James Atwell, Eden, vt.
Used salt on old meadow land that had moved
IL years, then plowed and sowed to oats with
out manure. Got 80 bushels of oats from two
bushels sowing. On another piece sowed three
pecks ofbarley and got two bushels on pOllypod
brake land that was all played out tor era So
Shall use more next season than last.

The salt proved better than expected. Shall
use more the coming spring.
From J. D. Langdell, Cambridge, vt.

Does good both to crops and land. | know it
makes oats taller and the straw sitter and less
liable to lodge. Shall use more this year than
last,
From E. A. Allen, Morrisyiile, Vt.
/ think it helps to break up the mineral mat

Consider il the cheapest fertilizer | have ever

nure.

Used 1900 lbs. on three acres of oats last

and the straw did not rust a particle. Think
money invested therein will pay more than
double and that it is one of the best fertilizers
l can get.
