Use Nitrate on
Growing Crops

In connection with the sale of nitrate
OF soda to farmers. wish to explain to
those who have never used nitrate that
its effect is almost magical ugon plants.
1t is highly Soluable in water, and for
that reason readily available as plant
food, and when applied to the growing
crops its effects are noticeable within 5
to s days, giving the plant a green,
vigorous color and producing a healthy
growth that is surprising.
Where winter oats have been frozen
down, as most of the fields have within
the past few weeks in this section, an
application of 90 to 100 pounds Ofnitrate
OF soda per acre will bring them out
and put such yigOr into the crop as to
insure good harvest. In cotton and
corn, where there is always spots that
are tagging behind the rest OF the field,
a little nitrate applied alongside the
plants will enable them to catch I'D
with the crop and thus produce an even
growth of plants which is essential to
a maximum crop, This is especially
advantageous in corn, which should
reach Silking time as evenly as pcs.
Sible.
Garden truck, melons, etc.. are much
benefited by small applications OF nj.
trate of soda responding very readily,
and no progressive trucker attempts
to grow crops without it.
