In a well-fertilized field 
of corn, many stalks 
have two good ears 
k 
instead of one. Anextraear 
for every hill means many 
extra bushels per acre

The extra bushels make 
the profit 
W HETHER the farmer used fertilizer or not, war-time prices 
made it comparatively easy for him to make a profit. 
To make more profit — then — the more progressive farmers used 
Swift’s Red Steer Fertilizers; to make sure of a profit —now—it is 
more necessary than ever to use Swift’s Red Steer Fertilizers. 
With low priced farm products you must raise more bushels per acre 
to make a profit because the average yield without fertilizer very 
often will not pay the cost of production. 
The extra bushels produced over and above the cost of production 
are the bushels that really make the profit. 
It costs the same for plowing, harrowing, seed, cultivation and land 
rent or interest whether you get a big yield or a small yield per acre. 
Plan now to get the biggest possible yields per acre so that you will 
have enough bushels to pay the cost of production and the extra 
bushels which put money into your pocket. Decide now the extent 
of your farming operations this season, the crop you will grow and 
the amount of fertilizer you will use. 
Order Swift’s Red Steer Fertilizers now from the local Swift dealer

Consider the function of plant food elements 
—ammonia gives the plant a quick start 
and dark green color; phosphoric acid pro¬ 
duces vigorous root growth and hastens 
maturity; potash promotes starch growth,

diseases. Then order the brand of Swift’s
