ADCO in the GARDEN 
B Y the use of ADCO all non-woody vegetable 
refuse such as stalks, cuttings, weeds, 
withered leaves and flowers, vines, etc., is con¬ 
verted into artificial manure. You not only get rid 
of a lot of useless and unsightly rubbish, but you 
turn it into rich, clean manure. 
The method is very simple. The refuse is ar¬ 
ranged in layers, sprinkled with ADCO and satu¬ 
rated with water. Nothing further is required be¬ 
yond keeping the heap moist and perhaps turning 
it over once or twice. In from three to six 
months it becomes converted into real manure of 
excellent quality. 
DON’T BURN YOUR LEAVES 
D RY LEAVES make splendid manure. Each 
foot-high layer is sprinkled with ADCO, the 
latter shaken through by stirring the leaves, and 
the mass is wetted and trodden down. One layer 
on top of another is arranged in this way, the heap 
is sprinkled with water occasionally if rains do not 
keep it moist, and next Spring you have a fine lot 
of clean manure. The leaves may appear unchanged, 
but crumble at a touch. Isn’t this better than burn¬ 
ing such valuable material? 
ADCO on the FARM 
M ANURE is the best fertilizer—every intelli¬ 
gent farmer knows that—but as long as the 
supply depended on live stock, there never could 
be enough of it. Now, thanks to ADCO, you can 
make quantities of manure out of straw, cornstalks, 
etc. There need never be any scarcity. And manure 
pays— pays big returns in increased crops due to 
richer, more drought-resistant soil. Every profes¬ 
sional grower owes it to himself to know about 
artificial manure and how to make it. 
T HE farmer can turn his surplus straw into ma¬ 
nure as it comes from the thresher, or he can 
treat his corn stover in the Autumn and have it 
ready by Spring. The vegetable grower can use 
his wastes, such as stalks, vines, leaves, etc., as 
they come along. The florist can treat his cut¬ 
tings and other refuse as it collects. Little labor 
is involved and the profit far exceeds the cost. 
“Whatever may be claimed for prepared fertilizers 
nothing really takes the place of organic manure, whether 
it be from the stable or made from leaves, straw and 
refuse with Adco. This season I supplemented my hen¬ 
roost material with Adco-treated straw and leaves; in 
fact the vegetable lot was wholly dressed with arti¬ 
ficially-made manure, and I never had finer peas, beans, 
carrots, onions and tomatoes.”—T. A. Weston, the 
eminent authority on gardening (The American Home).
