TOP-DRESSING GRAIN

Now is tho time to apDly fertilizers

This is especially true after severe
winters and wet spring seasons. sucn
as We have been having. and when the
price OF all grain and foodstuf is as

ordinarily, materials carrying only
nitrogen arc used for top-dressing pnr-

lima experiment station shows that a
fertilizer carrying both phosphoric acid
and nitrogen. can he used profltably
as top dresser. Particularly is this
true hen the material is applied carly
