Kaffir Field in Sedgwick County, Kansas. The fertilized part of the field made 
30 bushels of seed per acre, while the unfertilized crop made 
nothing but fodder. 
FERTILIZERS FEED THE CROPS THAT FEED THE WORLD 
Right now, while grains are bringing high prices, is the time to work for bumper crops. It may be a 
long time before you get $2.00 a bushel for your wheat again so make your fields yield to the utmost while 
the prices are high. 
The one sure way to increase the yield is by applying fertilizer. . This not only makes a bigger yield 
but also makes the crop mature sooner. A few days at the end of the season may mean all the difference 
between success and failure. 
Put from 150 to 200 pounds of Top Dressing on your wheat this spring and the result will surprise you. 
There are three essential plant food elements. 
1st. Nitrogen: Ammonia is the equivalent term for nitrogen. It produces leaves and stalks and 
gives vigor to the plant. Stunted plants, spindling stalks, and pale green leaves clearly indicate that 
additional available ammonia is needed. 
2nd. Phosphoric Acid. This is the plant food element that developes root system, hastens maturity, 
makes plump, heavy kernels, solid corn, large cotton bolls and gives strength and productive power to 
the plants. 
3rd. Potash. This stiffens straw and stalk, promotes cellular growth and aids in starch formation. 
When any one of the essential plant food elements is lacking the crop must suffer both in yield and 
quality. 
We offer Swift's high grade fetrilizers which supply the food elements and will greatly increase your 
yield.

weed seeds. Also it spoils the looks of the lawn for some time. Pulverized Sheep Manure has been treated 
with intense heat and the germination of any seeds that may be in it has been killed. It being in powder
