For Better Crops 

 from Better Land 



The Blue Seal Plant Food Program is dedi- 

 cated to provide plant food materials to fit into 

 the well-known Illinois plan of permanent soil 

 fertility. Farmers should first have their soil 

 tested by the county Farm Bureau soil testing 

 laboratory and then purchase the materials 

 they need, following the advice of their Farm 

 Adviser. 



PHOSPHATES- Rock phosphate, superphos- 

 phate, or triple superphosphate, each has a 

 place on Illinois farms. Ample supplies of 

 these are available. 



POTASH — A deficiency of potash severely re- 

 duces crop yields. Illinois farmers are receiving 

 many times the pre-war tonnage of potash, 

 however the supply remains limited. 



NITRATES- Nitrogen, whether added to the 

 soil in the form of legumes or nitrogen ferti- 

 lizers, is absolutely essentiaL Due to the heavy 

 domestic and foreign demand, the supply of 

 nitrogen carriers is limited. 



HIGH ANALYSIS FORMULA FBRTILIZiRS- 



Our policy is to supply more actual plant food 

 and less filler in each bag of mixed fertilizer. 

 To this end, grades available for Fall use are 

 the higher analysis grades. They include such 

 as 4-16-16; 3-12-12; 0-20 10; and O 12-12.
