Ground Limestone For Soil 

 Betterment. 



The fertilizing properties of lime seem 

 to extend in the direction of overcoming 

 acidity of soil supplying mineral neces- 

 sary for plant growth; actively assisting 

 in the fixation of phosphorus, potash and 

 nitrogen, rendering them more attainable 

 and convertible; all of which means better 

 and larger crops.

HOW TO BUY THE MOST PROFITABLE 

 BRANDS OF FERTILIZERS AND BE- 

 COME YOUR OWN FERTILIZER 



EXPERT. 



There are tnree important plant foods 

 that are essential to plant life; namely, 

 Nitrogen, Phosphoric Acid and Potash. 

 Practically all soils are amply supplied 

 with the other elements, so in selecting 

 fetrilizers the buyer should know that: 



Nitrogen (equivalent of Ammonia) pro- 

 motes the growth of the plant, and that Jt 

 it is not possible to secure the maximum 

 amount of fruit on an undersized, unde- 

 veloped, unhealthy stalk. A sufficient sup- 

 ply of Nitrogen insures vigorous growth. 



Phosphoric Acid enters most largely in- 

 to the fruit; in the case of the Cotton 

 plant, into the boll, lint and seed. It 

 hastens and increases development of the 

 fruit, and forces early maturity. 



Potash assists the development of the 

 plant and fruit, it aids the formation of 

 grain and cotton boll, it imports the sweet- 

 ness to fruit. It is the health giving tonic 

 that the plant requires, hardening the 

 growth and enabling it to resist disease. 



The growing crop, yield and quality in- 

 dicate clearly the plant food lacking in 

 your soil. A chemical analysis of your 

 soil is not a reliable guide as it shows 

 only the amount of plant food present and 

 not the amount available for present crop. 



When your land produces a poor growth, 

 Nitrogen is the vital element necessary in 

 your fertilizer. 



If the growth is good and the fruit is 

 lacking, Phosphoric Acid is what is prin- 

 cipally needed. 



If your land produces a sufficient growth 

 and fruits well, but your Cotton has a 

 tendency to wilt, rust or shed, Potash is 

 what is required. 



When Corn grows rank and high and 

 Oats and Wheat rank and lodge, and the 

 y4eld and quality is pdor, it is a sure 



sign that your soil needs more Phosphoric 

 Acid and Potash. 



When crops show poor growth, poor 

 quality and poor yields, liberal quantities 

 of all three elements are necessary. 



BETTER AND LARGER YIELDS. 



To grow vegetables of any kind pro- 

 fitably use HIGH GRADE PALMETTO 

 GUANO (guaranteed analysis 8% available

"BACKWARD GROWTH." 



By this we mean where a plant shows 

 no desire to bloom or produce its fruit it 

 is in want of food. Top dress your back- 

 ward crops with TRUCKERS FAVORITE, 

 (analysis 8% available phosphoric acid. 

 3% ammonia and 1% potash.) Let's get 

 away from the idea that fertilizer is a 

 stimulant any more than horse food or cow 

 food is. The human body needs food to 

 keep it alive; so does the plant. The 

 ground has fed you for centuries, now give 

 back to the earth enough plant food to 

 keep it alive. This fertilizer is put up in 

 100 pound sacks at $3.00 per sack. For 

 home gardens, we make a specialty of sell- 

 ing in small packages of 1 pound, 15
