Of ammonia and nitrate Of soda. Or
ganlc may mean anything. You
can't tell what It means from the tag.
When you buy fertilizer with that
tag on 1T you are buying pig in
poke. This may also account for
some low prices you hear OF. When
man has thing to sell he usually
gives the best description Of it that
it will stand.
Some people every year mix their
own fertilizer. They buy acid,
ton seed meal, kainit and u :. .,ate
and mix their own goods. Their only
source of ammonia in this goods S
cotton seed meal which Is very good
while it lasts. 1t gives out about the
time the cotton begins to fruit and
that causes it to she'd
Now, If blood, tankage, sulphate &c
ammonia and fish are worth any
thing in fertilizer, our goods must
be better than Your home-miXed
ammoniates.
BY using cotton seed meal only as
an ammoniate, you may make an
S-3-3 for 50 a ton less than we ask
for it.
That 50 a ton will represent a 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

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 it 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 it less freely, as If they do
their lands will become rundown.
Most farming lands in this section
are In good state Of cultivation. 1t

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 do n.
Our 10-4 and 1916 are good fertil =
erS to use where your lands are fla
or where cotton grows very rank, and
some Of the bolls fail to open. This
extra percentage Of phOsphoric acid
III the 1914 and 1916 will give the
cotton boil an early maturity. And

Just as when watermelon will ripem
when 1t Is grown, and it won't riDen
until it gets it's growth.
We want to urge you to use on
your ordinary lands our S-3-3, 9-3-3,
SD, 10-4-4 and 1898. You will
get more ammonia and less filler, and
YOU will get more fish in these fer
tilizers than In any others. We can
make any analysis you want. Max
ing fertilizers is like making clothes.
You can take bolt of cloth to a
tailor, and from that bolt he can
make a suit Of clothes to flt 10
year-old 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
mako any goods you want.
And now 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 for 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-
ates we use your goods will not be
as good as ours, nor as we'll 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 1t, and has the equipment, is
bound to mix 1t better than the man
who only mixes few days in the
spring Of the year without tho equip
ment.
Fertilizer Is the cheapest and most
reliable labor you can get on the
farm. 1t Is the only labor you can
get that works "a hours a day. rainy
days, Sundays, holidays and Satur-
days. Get the best; whatever you do
the Anderson goods.
