IT PAYS TO USE THEM 
A spoonful of fertilizer to 
each square yard of 
ground! Each plant gets 
so little that it is of the 
greatest importance the 
fertilizer you apply 
should be thoroughly and 
evenly mixed 
Be sure that each plant gets its proper 
proportion of plant food 
An application of 300 pounds of fertilizer per acre is 
equivalent to about one ounce—a little more than a 
spoonful—to each square yard of land 
Syvift's Red Steer Ferti¬ 
lizers are so carefully 
mixed that each plant 
gets its full share of each 
plant food element con¬ 
tained therein. This re¬ 
sults in even growth, 
even maturity and maxi¬ 
mum yield 
Feed your crops 
a balanced ration 
T HE successful livestock feeder 
knows that in order to get best 
results, each head of stock must get 
a properly balanced ration. 
The same principle applies to 
crop feeding. Your crops need bal¬ 
anced rations just as your livestock 
does—fertilizers that are carefully 
and scientifically compounded from 
the best source of plant food ob¬ 
tainable, so processed and thor¬ 
oughly mixed that each plant is 
sure of its proper ration. 
Why Swift's is preferred

manufacture of fertilizer from the 
balanced ration viewpoint. Twenty-

Fertilizers for New York 
It pays to use fertilizers—high analysis 
fertilizers. This is the message which goes 
out to the farmers of the land from the 
agricultural colleges and experiment sta¬ 
tions in many states—with definite recom¬ 
mendations, based upon years of research 
and experiment, as to the fertilizers which 
will give best results on individual soils 
and crops. 
For New York, only five analyses are 
required, according to recommendations 
issued by Prof. E. L. Worthen of the New 
York State College of Agriculture. These 
analyses are: 
0 - 10-10 
4- 8-10 
4- 12- 4 
5- 10- 5 
6- 8- 4 
For grain, the 4-12-4 analysis is recom¬ 
mended. Other analyses are for truck 
crops. 
As Authorized Swift Agent for the sale 
of Swift’s Red Steer Fertilizers, we are 
co-operating with the agricultural 
authorities in our state by handling the 
brands recommended above which apply 
to local conditions. 
Come in and let us select 
the analysis that meets your 
own soil and crop require¬ 
ments.
