FERTILIZE CLOVERS 
Insure your clover crops by fertilizing. About 200 pounds at planting makes for a perfect stand, that 
would otherwise fail through adverse weather or soil conditions. When the stand is old it can be again 
renewed to old-time vigor by a top dressing of from 300 to 500 pounds to the acre. The cost is small. 
Don’t take a chance. Write us for prices and methods of application.
