Do You Use Fertilizers?

Commercial Fertilizers are coming into greater demand every year. Yet IL Is an astonishing fact that many farmers cling to barnyard manure and cotton seed as the only means they nave of enriching their tired and worrl- out lands, and still have doubts about the value of commercial fertilizers. In view of the actual experience of others who are raising fine crops with commercial fertilizers these doubt are being rapidly dispelled.
 some may ask what are commercial fertilizers? Briefly stated. they are composed of substances of which plants are composed. and the object of their Use iS to feed the plant.
 There are two features about the use of commercial fertilizers that are too often lost sight of. First. that their intelligent and iudicious appli- cation frequently inSures crop, whereas their absence would mean a failure. \ second thing to remember k, that. far from adding To the ex- pense. they will. by increasing the acreage yield. reduce the cost of pro- duction thus enabling their user te reap greater profit for his labor. or To reap profit even when he market prices of his products are so low that ol hers are obliged To sell at loss.

on the allegation hat Walsh had
bought goods 20 the value of the judg-

this was true and stated he had in
stalled the goods in a fiat. His coun-
sci termed the company a trust and
argued that the defendant did not

a trust any more than he would have
TO pay a gambling debt. Walsh's de-
Tense was based solely upon his anti
