. The Huns are whipped and you men on the farms have 
had a big share in doing it. You have overcome difficulties 
and pushed up the food production. "Victory Year” brings 
increased responsibilities. Hungry millions must be fed—lives 
saved. Bigger crops than ever are needed at home and abroad. 
You can secure “a greater yield from every field” by using 
E. Frank Coe’s Fertilizers

These fertilizers will start the crop quickly and carry it through to com¬ 
plete maturity. Many farmers in your section have used these famous 
brands tor more than a generation. They have always found them 
profitable and entirely satisfactory.

I overcome any bad results from this de¬

manure over each field some time after 
the ground has been frozen? Neither of 
the fields in question was manured this 
Fall. Would it, therefore, be advisable 
to use the manure instead of the straw, if 
by so doing I had to omit the manure

was manure enough last Fall to top-dress 
half of the field, a spreader being used. 
This half of the field gave a far better

the clover and Timothy seeding on the 
top-dressed part is more than double as 
compared with the other part of the field.

Again, it insures a good seeding to follow; 
in this way a good foundation for future

pasturage very scarce, and an early frost
