IT PAYS TO USE FERTILE,
ING SALT.

Those who have used Salt on
light, sandy or WORKOUT soils are
almost unanimous in the opinion
that it is the cheapest and best
fertilizer that they can use on
this kind of land, especially for
oats. The application of from
600 lbs. to 1000 lbs. per acre is
said to more than double the crop.
Salt is also excellent as a weed
killer. The Vermont Experiment
Station especially recommends it
for killing Paint Brush on grass
land. G. S. Page, Hyde Park.
VT, sells a very desirable Salt for
fertilizing purposes, put up in
cheap 100-pOund sacks, for the
very low price of $3.50 per ton,
free on board cars at Hyde Park.
This price is considerably less
than that for which ordinary Salt
can be bought and his Salt con
tains considerable matter that
adds to its fertilizing value. The
freight rates to points between
Lunenburg and SwantOn and
Newport and White River Jet.
are very low on this material, es-
pecially in 10 ton lots. Write for
full particulars.
