POTASH 

 PAYS 



Before the fertilizer salesman arrives, go to your dealer and exptain to him that 

 you will not buy 2 per cent, goods that contain only 40 pounds of Potash 

 'nnTAi^f per ton. Show him that modem, profitable fertilizers contain from 

 5 to 10 per cent. Potash, and that the composition of crops and the 

 effect of crops on soils require that 

 the per cent, of Potash should be 

 increased until it is as great as, or 

 greater than, the per cent, of Phos- 

 phoric Acid in the fertilizer. It is this grade of goods that pays you 

 and your dealer best. The quantity and quality 

 of the crops are better and the actual plant food 

 costs less per pound.
