 Miss Horney is one of Forrest City's most beautiful and attractive young women, and has never appeared to better advantage that when raking in her treasures from the hay; after which, leaning against the haystack, she expressed her appreciation in the following lines;

Increase Your Yields
 of Corn, Oats, Wheat, Grasses and Strawberries, .as MT. F. J. Shillito, of Rhea Springs, Tenn, did.

MT. F. J. Shillito, of Shillito, Hardins X Ewing, Rhea Springs, Tenn, writes: 1 have used fertili- gers on both of my plantations east and south of Spring City, for the past several years. Your brands have given entire satisfaction wher- ever used, and personally. I am satisfied that Virginia-Carolina Fer tillzers are the best all-around ferti- llzers for all kinds of soils and various crops 1 have ever used, in- creasing my yields of wheat, corn, oats and grasses from 333 % to 50 %. The past season my wheat was sown last winter just before the great freeze, and some lay in the ground, and never came up un- til about February lst of this spring, obtaining a good stand, how ever, and it made an increase of fully 333 z over the year before; and any person can see for himself. My present corn crop 1 consider the best crop 1 have raised in many years, using POO pounds per acre of your fertilizers at the time of plant ing same. 1 am confident that if | had used POO pounds more Virginia Carolina Fertilizers per acre as top dresser at my second blowing, so as to furnish plant food at the growing season, the yield would have been much greater. 1 shall urge all my friends to use your fer tilizers. wish to add: Virginia Carolina Strawberry Fertilizer, which k being used in this section of Tennessee by our strawberry growers, generally very extensively, has proven q great success, increas- ing thin yields and making a more marketable and better shipping berry.
 This is only one of many letters from farmers who have been very successful, which you will enjoy reading in the Nirginia-C1c--';na Fertilizer Year Book or Alman.
