HOW TO USE FERTILIZERS 
Fifty pounds of Garden Fertilizer is sufficient for a garden 40x50 feet. 
For most field crops, use from 200 to 400 pounds per acre, according to the soil. 
Fertilizers can always be used to good advantage by opening up the row, sprinkling 
thinly the fertilizer; then cover same with a little soil and then sow your seed. Or, they 
can be used by working them into the soil along the rows after the plant is up, care 
being taken not to let it come in contact with the leaves or stem of the plant. For plants 
that are transplanted, work the fertilizer into the soil thoroughly before transplanting, using 
from a teaspoonful to a small handful, according to the size and the nature of the plant.

NITRATE OF SODA 
R.-H. co/s STANDARD BONE MEAL 
16% Nitrogen 
Everyone that uses Nitrate of Soda on their cotton and corn crops will 
be well repaid for the expense. Application of Nitrate of Soda on 
cabbage, lettuce, beets, etc., makes them more crisp and tender. Al¬ 
ways remember that Nitrate of Soda must be used carefully, as it is a 
caustic and will burn plants if used too liberally. It requires about 
100 to 300 pounds of Nitrate of Soda to the acre, depending on the crop.

Feeds the Crop—Sweetens the Soil—Nitrogen -f- Lime Fertilizer 
A valuable fertilizer for all crops such as corn, cotton, gardens, grains, 
grasses, pastures; also fruit trees, grape vines and berry plants. 
GranuK? "Aero" Cyanamid is a concentrated fertilizer material, contain¬ 
ing 21% nitrogen and 70% hydrated lime. In other words, one ton of 
Aero Cyanamid supplies 420 pounds of nitrogen and 1,400 pounds of 
hydrated lime. Aero Cyanamid is ideal fertilizer for your cotton. It 
will increase your yields. Aero Cyanamid is of especial interest by 
reason of its partial-sterilizing effect on the soil. Rightly used in large 
amounts. Aero Cyanamid aids in the control of weeds, nematodes, and 
disease organisms. After Aero Cyanamid has exercised its sterilizing
