The Way to Get Bigger, 



Better Crops, and 



Good Profits 



Do you know that in Europe they 

 raise 200 bushels of Potatoes, and in 

 Egypt, 400 lbs. of Cotton, and the 

 world's average, outside of U. S. for 

 Sugar Cane, is over 26 tons per acre? 



Here we raise only 97 bu. Potatoes, 

 185 lbs. of Cotton per acre, and our 

 average Sugar Cane production in U. S. 

 is but 1 1 tons to the acre, less than half 

 of the world's average. 



The reason is that farmers abroad 

 use fertilizer containing 5 per cent, phos- 

 phoric acid and 4! per cent, available 

 nitrogen, largely made up of Nitrate of 

 Soda. We use much fertilizer contain- 

 ing 8 per cent, phosphoric acid and but 

 2 per cent, nitrogen, which is mostly 

 unavailable, therefore a disappointment 

 to the user. 



To insure good crops of good quality 

 that will fetch top notch prices, use 100 

 pounds of Nitrate of Soda to the acre 

 on seeded crops and 200 pounds on cul- 

 tivated crops and fruits, as soon as the 

 growth starts, or just at seedtime. 



"Its use (Nitrate of Soda) has become exten- 

 sive for general farm crops. It is one of the 

 most valuable of nitrogenous fertilizers." Prof. 

 Snyder, Minnesota State Agricultural College. 



If you will write William S. Myers, 

 Director, 25 Madison Avenue, New 

 York, being sure to state what crops 

 you grow, he will send, without charge, 

 a booklet, giving valuable information 

 regarding fertilizing for profitable re- 

 sults.
