tory scientific and educational work of
the corporation so as TO include soil
and crop investigation. This is with
view to improving methods of fertili-
zation and spreading the knowledge of
its possibilities. By experiment. dem
onstration on a large scale Of the use
of fertilizers, and by the dissemina-
tion Of sound information, the cor
poration aims to be an educational
force, cooperating with other agencies
in the development of the science Of
fertilization: TO keep up with the pro-
gress of the science, and to spread its
teachings. Although great advances
have been made in fertilization. much
more remains to be done in the line of
educational work throughout the Am
erican agricultural world. This line of
endeavor cannot fail to benefit, not
only the farmer but the whole nation,
by making possible larger food sup
ply al lower cost of production.
The annual consumption of conrmer-
cial fertilizers is increasing at the rate
Of 100000 tons annually, reaching a
reported total OF 5.7s5,341 tons in
1910-1911, valued roughly at $125,000,-
900.
Growth of the Industry
The past rate of increase is. however,
no measure of future increase, for the
reason that education in the proper
utilization and value of fertilizers is
proceeding more rapidly than ever be-
fore. and for the further reason that
artificial fertilization, originally re-
garded as a necessity only on worn out
soils, is now known to be a profitable
investment under nearly all circum
S{a n tn hn
a dollar invested in fertilizer will pro-
duce five dollars in the form of en-
HANGED production. that form of invest
ment becomes increasingly popular.
The working out of this theory is al
ready seen in the extension of the fer
tiliZer market, once confined to the
South. to include western and south
western states. -
And when it appears that the aver
age American wheat production, for
example, is but 15.S bushels per acre,
as compared to 80 bushels or more per
acre in Germany, where fertilizat ton
has been reduced to universally ap-
piled science, it is evident that the
United States. with its millions of farm
acres, affords a fertilizer market with
boundless opportunities for expansion.
The problem of the fertilizer manu-
facturer is not-How should l increase
my business by securing from my
competitor that which he now enjoys?
but--How can | increase my facilities
for manufacture so as properly to care
for the twelve and one-half per cent
natural increase that comes year by
year, through a better appreciation by
the farmers of the benefits derived
from increased use of commercial fer
ti1izer?
This is the story of the International
Agricultural Corporation, with ample
but not excessive capitalization, an
economically sound organization, large
resources of natural products, and ade-
quate manufacturing capacity, to ac-
complish a useful service in the sup
ply, manufacture and distribution of
the materials necessary for the fertili-
"a ton of American farm soils.

The period of construction for the
International Agricultural Corporation
has not, as yet. been passed. One fac
one more just starting, but all will be
in operation by November !, 1911. The
position of the International Agricul-
tural Corporation is such that by
means of factories it owns outright, or
through factories where its raw ma
teria1 is controlled for sale, the cor
poration can offer it's products at eight
points in Georgia. four in South Caro-
lima, at three Alabama eenters, and in
Tennessee, Mississippi North Carolina,
Pennsylvania. New York and Ohio.
Twenty calculating works give to
the International Agricultural Corpor-
alton the broadest possible base Of op-
erations and a capacity for manufac-
ture fully sufficient to care for the
supply of sulphuric acid which it is
under contract to receive. Its produc-
ton of acid phosphate will exceed 600,
900 tons per annum.
To enlarge the market for its pro-
duets the International Corporation has
made contracts with a limited number
of independent plants in whose profits
| il participates. These arrangements
while preserving the independence OF
successful industries and retaining the
benefits of local contact with the CON
sumner, are mutually advantageous te
| the supply corporation, the local man
ufaeturer. and TO his customers.

Manufacturing Standards

In all the plants it owns or in which
it is interested. the corporation main
tains the highest standard of manu-
featuring efficiency. Such standards
are absolutely necessary in an indus
try where scientifcally-exact COM
pounding is essential to the value Of
the product. With advancing knowl
edge of the science of fertiliza ton, its
ada ptation to different soils and crops,
and the close supervision Of the indus
try by government agencies. this care
and eXpertness in manufacture, COM
bined with the use Of the best mate
IriaIs. becomes increasingly important.
To assure a uniformly high grade
quality of its products. the corporation
maintains testing apartments. suitably
equipped and employing experts whose

DOCTOR PRESCRIBES

Il wish to let you know of a couple
OF recent cures which I have made
by the use of the Cuticura Remedies.
Last August. Mr.. of this city

severe skin eruption. 1t was dermatitis
IN its worst form. 1t started with a
slight eruption and would affect most
parts OF his body, thighs, elbows,

terminate in little pustules. The itch.

would almost tear his skin apart, try

on prescriptions, but nothing seemed
to help him.
In the meantime my wife, who
was continually suffering with a slight
skin trouble and who had been try
ing different prescriptions and meth
DDS with my assistance, told me she
was going to get some OF the Cuticura
Remedies and give them fair trial.
