W. BAINES, of Newport News, 
Virginia, made affidavit before H. H. 
Nobles, Notary Public of the following re- 
sults secured with Alphano grown potatoes. 
He states that half his rows were 
treated with a fertilizer costing $ 45 . a ton. 
The other half with Alphano at one- 
third the price. In both cases a like 
amount of each was used. 
The above photograph shows potatoes 
dug from same number of hills. The left 
hand one is from Alphano fed sod. 
It is evident that three times the crop 
was produced at one-third 
the fertilizing cost. 
Be it also borne in mind, 
that the soil was the loose 
sandy sort. 
It is safe to assume that 
part of the increased yield 
was due to the moisture

holding properties of the rich organic base 
used liberally in the making of Alphano. 
Another factor was doubtless the teem- 
ing bdlions of active mineral food liberat- 
ing bacteria that this organic matter 
puts into the soil. Potash is one of the 
foods these bacteria are positively known 
to unlock from the soil and make useable 
to the roots. 
Alphano in itself is rich in potash, 
phosphate, nitrogen and natural lime. 
Alphano is an All-In-One fertilizer. A 
perfectly balanced soil ration, that is high 
in plant foods and low in cost. 
In use for 1 1 years. We stand 
back of every pound sold. 
Alphano is equally good 
on grass, shrubbery', flowers 
or vegetables. 
Buy it, try it and judge 
for yourself.
