increasing, they must have q diet
of both nitrogen and lime Cyan
amid contains both in the proper
amounts. so the organisms can
manufacture the rich humus IN
the soil which all plant life re-
quires for healthy development.
Fortunately, too, the growth
stimulating nitrogen in this ma.
terial is of an organic type so
that it doesn't wash out with the
first heavy rains - but lasts all
season long. No more early wilt
ing and fading away!
Converting organic refuse such
as last years flower or vegetable
stalks, leaves and grass clippings
into humus can be accomplished
in q remarkably short time.
Here's all there is to it:
Measure your garden area and
simply spread evenly by hand or
fertilizer spreader one pound Of
Cyanamid for every rs square
feet. Apply it right on top Of the
remains Of flowers, vegetables,
grass or leaf m-ulches-Wherever
you intend to plant or seed Then
turn the Cyanamid along with
the crop refuse under to q depth
of 5 to 8 inches a week or more
before planting or seeding.
Try leaving a small portion Of
your garden without this treat
ment and watch what difference
those happy. well-fed soil organ
1sms make in the size and beauty
Of your flowers and vegetables.

Every amateur gardener wants
his flowers and vegetables to look
as seed packages and catalogues
picture them. But he's so often
disappointed when they don't de-
velop that way at all. Frequently
the reason is q lack Of adequate
soil humus.
Called the closest thing to .
"cure-all' for ailing gardens, hu,
mus adds body to sandy soils and
makes clay soils crumbly and easy
to work. In both cases, humus IN
creases the capacity of soil to.
hold moisture around the roots
where it's needed.
Amateur gardeners can easily
make their own humus thanks to
a unique material - calcium cy-
anamide. Until now available only
to farmers and professional
growers. it is natures aid for
building soil humus fast. Known
as Lawn and Garden Cyanamid.
this material rapidly charges
crop refuse, including leaves and
grass clippings, into rich, loamy
humus - much like a virgin soil.
Moreover, il does this right in
your garden area where you want
it. So don't burn or throw away
that valuable plant refuse, max
ing it necessary to buy and haul
in all sorts of expensive substi-
tutes.
Good soil is not dead like it APP
pears, but very much alive with
millions Of beneficial microbes in
every shovelful To keep alive and
