ThilRE are a lot of people being stung on 

 luimus. Being stung just because tliey seem 

 to think all humus is practically alike. Or if 

 there is any difference, it is only the difference 

 in price. 



They apparently totally ignore the fact that 

 most humus in its unprepared state, just as dug 

 from its watery bed, is generally injuriously acid. 

 They lose sight of the fact that any humus that 

 is sold from a dry sample and delivered wet, is a 

 mighty expensive way to buy water. 



They seem altogether to fail to grasp the fact 



that raw humus has absolutely no plant foods 

 added to maKe it a balanced fertilizer. 



They ignore totally, the fact that it takes four 

 tons of our raw humus to make one ton of con- 

 centrated Alphano Humus, that has first been sun- 

 dried and then further dried by expensive me- 

 chanical methods until 75 per cent, of the moist- 

 ure is driven out. 



They forget that humus that is sold from a dry 

 sample and then delivered in lumpy, chunky, 

 water-logged shape, contains just one-quarter the 

 plant foods that a dry analysis shows. 



Come To Onar Exhibit 

 At The New York Show 



and let us tell you all the facts and give you 

 all the figures about this important humus 

 question. 



Protect yourself against water at humus prices. 

 Or buying humus that is low in plant foods and 

 liable to be highly injurious because of its acidity.
