OF ammonia and nitrate Of soda. Or
ganic may mean anything. You
can't tell what 1t means from the tag.
When you buy fertilizer with that
tag on 1T you are buying a pig in
POKE. This may also account for
some low prices you hear Of When
a man has thing to sell he usually
gives the best description Of it that
1t will stand.
Some people every year mix their
own fertilizer. They buy acid, cot
ton SEED meal, kainit and muriate
and mix their own goods Their only
source of ammonia in this goods is
cotton seed meal, which is very good
while 1T lasts. 1t gives out about the
time the cotton begins to fruit and
that causes it to shed.
Now, if blood, tankage, sulphate OF
ammonia and fish are worth any
thing in fertilizer, our goods must
be better than your home mixed
goods, where YOU use none OF these
ammoniates.
BY using cotton seed meal only as
an ammoniatc, you may make an
S-3-3 for 50 ton less than we ask
for it,
That 81 ton will represent q diff
ference Of from forty to sixty cents
an acre in your fertilizer bill We
don't think there is any doubt that
S-3-3 ammoniated as we ammoniate
it will make 100 pounds of lint cot
ton to the acre more than a home
mixed fertilizer with cotton seed meal
as the only source Of ammonia. This
100 pounds OF lint cotton Is now
worth about $10.50. We don't know
what it will be worth next fall-off-
hand we should say from $S to $12.
1t doesn't seem likely that cotton
will bring over IL cents next fall, and
we sincerely hope 1t won't bring less
than s cents.
Where farmers have been using
the best fertilizers and using it freely
we wish to suggest to them the i'm
propriety Of using an inferior goods,
and using 1T less freely, as if they do
their lands will become rundown.
Most farming lands In this section
are in a good state Of cultivation. It
will be cheaper to keep them that
way than TO let the 'and ruurdOvR
and then bring II az, e you haye Il
faL horse II will cake lcas corn .
Keep him rat than 1t viii to lot hin,
set poor and thon fatton him 40
again.
1t is the same way in fertilizing
your land, and besides you will lose
the extra crop that you failed to
make while your land is run down.
Our 10-i and 10-6 are good fertiliZ-
ers to use where your lands are fiat
or where cotton grows very rank and
some Of the bolls fail to open. This
extra percentage OF phosphoric acid
in the 10-4 and 1916 will give the
cotton boil an early maturity. And
when a cotton boil is grown it opens,
Just as when a watermelon will ripen
when it is grown. and it won't ripen
until 1T gets its growth.
We want to urge YOU to use on
your ordinary lands our S3-3, 9-3-3,
SID, 10-4-4 and 1898. You will,
get more ammonia and less filler, and
you will get more fish in these fer
tilZers than in any others. We can
make any analysis you want. Max
ing fertilizers is like making clothes.
You can take a bolt Of cloth to a
tailor, and from that bolt he can
make suit Of clothes to fit 10
yearold boy, and by using more
cloth he can make suit of clothes
to fit man weighing $50 pounds.
1t is the same way in making fer
tiliZers. By using more or less Of
the potash and ammonia we can
make any goods you want.
And now a last word to the home
mixers If you use the same ammo
mates we use, your goods will cost
you more than we ask you fon ours,
and your goods won't be as well made
as ours because you are not equipped
for it. If you don't use the ammoni-
atcs we use your goods will not be
as good as ours, nor as well manipu-
lated.
If YOU give two cooks the same
materials for making bread, one will
make better bread than the other.
The more experienced cook will make
the better bread And the fertilizer
man who gives his time and thought
to it. and has the equipment. is
bound to mix it better than the man
who only mixes q few days in the
spring Of the year without the equip
ment.
Fertilizer is the cheapest and most
reliable labor you can get on the
farm. 1t is tho only labor You can
get that works "a hours day, rainy
days, Sundays, holidays and Satur-
days Get the best; whatever you do
