This fat must be in as con¬

It has got to come from

is a vigorous feeder and re¬ 
sponds well to liberal fertiliza¬ 
tion. On corn lands the yield 
increases and the soil improves 
if properly treated with fer¬ 
tilizers containing not under 
7% actual 
Potash. 
A trial of this plan costs but 
little and is sure to lead to 
profitable culture.

One grower writes: 
OR DRY POWDER GUN. 
“ Your Compound 
worked to a charm, 
killed potato bugs 
and stopped blight. 
One of my potato 
plots was attacked 
by grasshoppers in 
such numbers as to 
threaten its entire destruction. I went over the patch 
with the Compound and in 24 hours very few live 
grasshoppers could be found. Was also bothered 
with flea beetles, but one application of Compound 
was sufficient I never saw another flea and they had 
been very plentiful. Used the Champion Gun and 
believe It more than saved Its cost on the one plot of 
potatoes.” Circulars furnished showing how to do it.
