A Good Year to Use Fertilizers.

The man who uses fertilizers
judiciously this year will find
more profit in them likely, de-
spite the high prices he must
pay for them, than in a normal
year. The prices of farm pro-
ducts have advanced more than
the prices of fertilizers. The
price Of farm labor will probably
advanced more than either be-
fore the summer is over, and
while fertilizers will not take the
place of labor, they can be made
to add greatly to it's efficiency in
many cases. Fertilizers should
be literally used this year.
And if high-priced fertilizers
should be used literally, how
much more should every pound
of manure be religiously saved
and every possible chance to i'm
prove the soil by the growing of
legumes be taken.
