1.4OO acres Of mari deposit in, .c,n!tral
Texas. Mari is high class IL til;zer
and, so far as is known. there is but
one other bed in the United States and
that is located in Tennessee. Experts
at Iowa State college at Amcs have
analyzed the Texas marl and have de-
clared it a balanced fertilizer. %o;ih in
comparison with other fertilizers $50

The Stratford men, DR.. w. a. HarrOd

1t is the intention to dispose of the

Those who know say that the STRAIT

is located in Leon county and is said
to be an old sea bed. 1t lies beneath

with calcium carbonate. 1t is used
as fertilizer for soils deficient in
