Patent Applied For 



The value of Mulch Paper for growing crops has been estab- 

 lished through scientific tests made by Agricultural Colleges, by 

 the United States Department of Agriculture and by results 

 obtained by farmers and gardeners. Results of these tests show 

 the following: 



1. Increased Germination, contributing to a greater yield 

 per acre. 



2. Increased Yield was found to be in proportion to the 

 surface covered, the greatest increase following a complete cover- 

 ing by the paper. 



3. Saving of Labor by elimination of inter-row weeding and 

 cultivation. 



4. Earlier Maturity of some crops, which is a decided advan- 

 tage for growers anxious for an early market. 



5. Better Crops, in point of size, quality and cleanliness. 



6. " Conservation of Moisture in the soil and increase in soil 

 temperature.

METHOD OF LAYING MULCHING PAPER: (A) The soil is prepared for planting in the same 

 manner as if the paper mulch was not used. (B) The paper, which comes in rolls 12. 1 8 or 36 inches wide, 

 is then laid in the direction which the rows or drills are to run, leaving 2 inches space, more or less, de- 

 pending on the crop, between the edges of the paper for sowing of seed or setting out of plants, or holes 

 may be made in the paper for such crops as cabbage, tomatoes, etc. (C), The paper should lie in firm 

 contact with the soil and the edges kept in place by a ridge of earth, staples, strips of wood or stones.
