G.CPLANTFOOD 



NEEDS WINTER 

 ACCOMMODATIONS 



'Lefs Cooperate 



during the coining fall and winter months 

 by storing plant foods on the farm. It 

 appears that the supply by next spring's 

 crop season time will not be sufficient 

 to fill the need of Illinois farmers. It 

 promises to be more plentiful, however, 

 during the "off-season" fall and winter 

 months. 



Your Blue Seal Distributor will secure a major portion of the supply for your county 

 during these months, but it is obvious that he con order no more than can be stored. 



Give a hand — by storing next season's needs on your form — your supply will be 

 assured, the handling expense will be less, and your savings will be increased.

FARM STORAGE HINTS 



1 . Keep fertilizer dry from the car to your barn. 



2. Store it in a weather tight building. (Tight roof and sides and a good floor.) 



3. Pile away from walls since they collect moisture in cold weother. 



4. Pile on a wooden floor, or better yet, on a platform several inches ofF the floor. 



5. Limit piles to 5 or 6 high, if possible, certainly not over 10 high. Greater weight 

 increases tendency to harden. 



6. Pile ttie bags loosely, leaving a space between piles for free air drculotion.
