Corn is our greatest Crop 
It is worth more than any other crop 
It costs more than any other crop 
A big item in this cost is over one hundred million dollars’ worth of actual 
potash, which the corn crop takes from American soils every year—more than 
eight times the total importations of 
POTASH 
The corn plant uses over 
a pound and a quarter of 
potash for every bushel of 
ears produced. 
It uses more than twice as 
much potash as phosphoric 
acid. 
Supplement the manure or 
clover sod by 400 to 600 lbs. 
per acre of a fertilizer con¬ 
taining at leasi as much 
potash as phosphoric acid— 
0-8-8 or 0-8-10—or broadcast 
300 lbs. acid phosphate and 
100 lbs. muriate of potash per 
acre after plowing and before 
harrowing, and drill in with 
the seed 100 lbs. per acre 
2-8-8 goods. On muck lands 
broadcast 100 to 200 lbs. 
muriate of potash per acre. 
To drive away cut worms 
and root lice, drill in 100 lbs. 
Kainit per acre with the seed. 
Potash makes more sound 
ears in proportion to the 
stalks. It makes much more 
and much better corn for 
eithercrib or silo. PotashPays. 
We sell potash in any 
amount from one 200-lb. 
bag up.
