What  Are  You  Doing 
to  Get  the  High  Price? 
1917  promises  to  be  the  farmers  biggest  year.  The  prices 
obtained  for  all  farm  products  are  beating  all  records.  All  in¬ 
dustries  are  flourishing.  The  demand  for  foodstuffs  is  strong, 
and  prices  bid  fair  to  continue  good  throughout  the  year.  There¬ 
fore  you  are  well  justified  in  buying  the  best  fertilizer  obtainable 
and  making  every  cultivated  acre  produce  its  utmost.  Good 
farming  with  the  best  fertilizers  will  accomplish  this  result.
