SUMMARY OF INCREASED YIELDS p°°«* '""^

From Application of loo Pounds per Acre of — ~ — 



Nitrate of Soda. 



It should be pointed out that in the recorded 



experiments with Nitrate of Soda on Money ^'^^ '" ^"""^^ °^ 



/-. u^r urujT? ^ c • Farm Products. 



Crops heretofore published in Experiment Station 



Reports and Bulletins, Farm Products were much lower in price. 

 The prices of agricultural Products have risen to a high water 

 mark, and in certain cases, notably corn, the advance has been to 

 extreme figures, and all Farm Commodities are now higher than 

 they have been for some years. Our statements heretofore 

 published, showing the profit resulting from the 

 Crop increases due to the use of Nitrate of Soda, ^^^^'"^ ^^ ^^°^'^ 

 if re-arranged on a basis of to-day's values for 

 Crops, would show more Profit than before. It should also be 

 remarked that the prices of other Ammoniates 

 have risen higher than Nitrate of Soda, and it is Other Ammoniates 

 yet the cheapest of all Ammoniates in the market. 

 Economists of authority tell us that the cost of 

 living is to remain for a considerable time on the P'^obable Stability

high basis recently established, so that it is to be 



expected that the prices of Agricultural Products will remain 

 at a high level. 



In this connection your attention is called to 

 many experiments with Fertilizers in which ^^^'^ Results Due 

 Nitrate of Soda is said to have been used in order 

 to produce results to be exploited as due to materials other than this 

 Standard Money Crop Producer. 



Further, one may add, that when Nitrate is 

 used at the rate of ^oo pounds per acre, the Result— Slight

quoted below will produce increased yields as tabulated hereunder: 



WHEAT 300 pounds of grain. 



OATS 400 pounds of grain.

BARLEY 400 pounds of grain. 



POTATOES 3,600 pounds of tubers. 



HAY 1,000 pounds, barn-cured.
