USE GOOD


You can make better crops using our ready mixed goods than you can
with your home mixed goods. In the first place, in making your. home
mixed goods you get your ammonia from cotton seed meal, which isa good
ammoniate, but it does not last long enough. About the time your cotton
begins to fruit-take o bons-your cotton seed meal is almost exhausted:
So that just at tine time when the strain is greatest on the cotton plant and
needs the greatest amount of plant food the supply of plant food which you
get from cotton seed meal is about exhausted and is rapidly growing weaker
and the result is that your cotton sheds.
Now in getting our mixed goods, the ammonia is derived from Fish,
Blood, Tankage, Cotton Seed meal and Sulphate of Ammonia. AS one of
these ammoniates exhauas another comes in and takes its place, fish last
ing longer than any So that a one of these ammoniates gives out another
comes il and crop is supplied with plant food from the time it sprouts
in the ground, all during the working season, all during the layingby season
and until the crop is grown end ready to be gathered. Now if fish and
blood and tankage and sunbate of Ammonia are worth ANYTHING in a
fertilizer, it makes a better fertilizer than where the ammonia is de-
rived from cotton seed meal only and our fertilizer is better than your
home mixed goods If put in the same anomalies in your home mix
ed fertilizer that we put in ours it would cost you as much as ours will and
it won't be as good, for the simple reason that it won't be IS well mixed.
1t won't run as regular, and the crops grown from it won't be IS regular.
They will be spotted, some good stalks and some small stalks. It'll the
regular field of cotton where all the stalks are about the same size that
turns off cotton at gathering time. The prospect now, is that the next
crop of cotton will bring a goodprice, S % you want a good crop and don't
want to take any chances in making a good crop In using our goods I'M
nominated as they are you ar not taking any chances, for you Az getting
the best fertilizer to be had, and the only thing is to use enough of it.
oronah's nHm mi t% ~ ar atp msn m pf Su ~ ~ he w a $50 So IT. does n a
seem to be a good business to take any chances on making a good crop.
Suppose you make your home mixed goods getting your ammonia
for, and you use 400 pounds to the acre. A ton covers five acres, our
goods will cost you twentyfv cents n acre more than your home mixed
goods. Suppose your home mixed goods costyou So a ton less than ours
and you Use 400 pounds ito the acre, our goods will cost you 40 cents an
acre more than yours. The difference in the crops will be a great deal
more than this. You can tell the difference in the crops in riding along
the road. Good farmers who are close observers say that when they can
tell the difference between two fields of cotton by riding along the
road, the difference must be at least eco pounds of seed cotton to the
acre. That makes about a 100 pounds of lint cotton and that means at pre-
sent prices about $500. Now, you don't think it will pay you to risk this,
trying to save 90 or 40 cents an acre en- your fertilizer bill, when it
takes the same labor for both.
You won't make any mistake to Use our SS3 or 933 or 1888 on
your red lands, and our s44 and 1914 on your gray lands. Cotton was
late opening this fall and there was quite a little cotton to be gathered af
ter Christmas.
One advantage in using 1888 and 1044 is that this 10 per cent of
Phosphoic Acid hastens the maturity of the bons. And when a cotton
boil is grown it will open, just as when a peach is grown it will rpen, and
when a watermelon is grown it will ripen.
There is nothing better than the goods made by
