Special Fertilizers 



Adco Artificial Manure. The scarcity and 

 cost of stable manure has made its ex- 

 tensive use impracticable, and the com- 

 post pile, although of undeniable value, 

 is a long and tedious undertaking. The 

 process of making artificial manure con- 

 sists of merely making a heap of all gar- 

 den trash, wetting it thoroughly and add- 

 ing the bacterial powder Adco. In the 

 course of three or four months this heap 

 is converted by action of the growing 

 bacteria into excellent manure. 25-lb 

 sack (enough for 12 wheelbarrows waste).
