Home Mixed Fertilizers are
Cheapest and Best.

Practically all farmers who have given
home mixing a thorough trial are con-
vinced that this is by far the most eco
nomical and satisfactory method of
purchasing fertilizers. If you will send
us your name on a postal card with
request therefor, we will send you free,
postpaid, leaflets which give the opinions
of many successful farmers in this and
neighboring states regarding home
mixing. We will also send a number of
formulas which were made up for us by
the Director of the Vermont Experiment
Station and which have been used by
many farmers in Vermont with excellent
success. We will also give full direc-
tons for mixing fertilizer adopted to all
the crops commonly raised in Vermont
farms.

Hay and oats are high today; shall

That's how men do about painting
their houses and barns and fences.
Paint has been high for several years;
and so they have waited. Paint is high
yet; they are still waiting; thousands
of 'em are waiting for paint to fall.
Their property drops a trifle a year
and the next job of paint creeps-up

BABY SHOW TO
BE The BEST
ONE EVER HELD
THIS INTERESTING FEATURE OF
THE PENSACOLA INTERSTATE
FAIR WILL sURPASS THE ONE
HELD LAST YEAR IN EVERY
RESPECT.

During the past few weeks, Secre-
tary and General Manager N, ], Lii
lard, Of the Pensacola Interstate Fair
Association. has received great
ing Of a baby show at the Pensacola
Interstate Fair, which opens October
%. While Mr.. Lillard has been sure
that a baby show would occur this
year. 1t was not until yesterday aft
ernoon that the final arrangements
were made, SO that he can now give
more definite information concerning
this interesting and important fea-
ture, which was inaugurated last
year.
1t has now been definitely decided
that the baby show this year will be
under the supervision of the Daugh-
ters Of Isabella, the same organization
which conducted this feature SO sue
cessfully last year. and the ladies
having the matter in charge are be-
ginning work already.
The baby show last year was one
Of the most interesting and most
popular features connected with the
entire fair. although it was not men
toned until q week before the open
ing of the fair. 1t is expected that
the event this year will prove even
more interesting. as more time can be
spent In making the arrangements
and 1t will be better advertised.
