a fine asset for any farm

NEED TO BE WELL FED 
ECAUSE they are used directly as human food 
B and because they furnish important miner- 
als and vitamins, vegetable crops have priority 
in receiving fertilizer. Crops in class B will get 
fertilizer only after reasonable diligence has 
been shown in getting plant food to vegetables. 
Fertilizer grades especially recommended 
for vegetable crops in New England include 
8-16-16, 8-16-8, 8-8-8 and 5-10-5. In Pennsyl- 
vania, Delaware and Maryland these grades are: 
8-16-16, 6-18-6, 8-8-8, 5-20-10 and 5-15-5. 
In all areas 5-10-5 is the special home garden 
grade although farmers may use any grade 
they apply in normal operations. You can find 
specific recommendations of grades for differ- 
ent vegetable crops in an article beginning on 
page 22 of this issue. 















* COOPERATIVE - 
Eastern States plants now have cured fer- 
tilizer on hand and they have the manpower 
to ship NOW. Under present conditions the 
best time to accept delivery on fertilizer is 
NOW! Then you are sure of it. You can safely 
store fertilizer until spring if you will keep it 
DRY! Pile it on a slatted, wooden platform 
several inches off the floor. Pile it loosely to 
permit air circulation. Store in a weather- 
tight building. 
See your representative or warehouse 
about getting winter delivery of your 1944 
fertilizer. If everyone gets going on fer- 
tilizer late, it may be TOO LATE for all!
