gen is. The "complete fertilizers" that contain the most Food for 

 Nitrogen in the form of Nitrate are the ones to use, and an s 

 the ones which do not contain Nitrate or which do I7 

 not give information on this vital point should 

 not be purchased. If you have on hand a "complete fer- 

 tilizer" containing a small percentage of Nitrogen, and only 

 in organic form, such as cotton-seed, "tankage," etc., it will 

 be of great advantage to use one hundred pounds per acre of 

 Nitrate of Soda in addition to this fertilizer. This is often 

 an economical and convenient method of buying fertilizers. 

 No fertilizer is really complete without Nitrate.

Are the Farmers of Little Europe More Intelligent 

 Than Those of America ? 



It certainly seems so. The English and European 

 farmers instead of buying their Nitrogen in complete fertili- 

 zers and paying over 25 cents per pound for it, use annually 

 over eight hundred thousand (800,000) tons of Nitrate of 

 Soda as a fertilizer, while yet only a few thousands of Amer- 

 ican farmers are using it at a cost generally of less than 20 

 cents per pound.
