The Potassic and Phosphatic Fertilizer.<; should be appHed as 

 soon as the land is workable. 



Many disappointments with fertilizers are due to the fact that 

 they have been applied too late for the crop to get full benefit 

 from them in the first season. Remember that fertilizers are not 

 used up ill the first sea.son, but are effective for .several .seasons. 

 Nitrate of Soda should g:enerally be applied as a top-dressing at 

 planting time. .Slower acting Nitrogenous fertilizers can be ap- 

 plied earlier with the other materials. 



Muriate of Potash and Sulphate of Potash 



can be obtained from the leading fertilizer dealers and seedsmen.
