CONVERTS Garden and Kitchen 
Waste into valuable Organic Humus 
Fertilizer. Grass cuttings, Leaves, 
Weeds, Tomato vines, Pea vines and 
pods, Carrot tops, Corn stalks, and in 
fact any and all non-woody organic 
materials and animal manures are 
cheaply and quickly changed into or- 
ganic humus fertilizer containing the 
essential elements required for vegeta- 
ble and small fruit crop production— 
Nitrogen, Potash, Phosphorus, Boron, 
Sulphur, Manganese, Magnesium, Cal- 
cium, Iron, Zinc, and Copper. 
The time to start a compost pile is 
NOW! —anytime of the year. Start 
saving crop remnants, weeds, etc., and 
you will be surprised at the hundreds 
of pounds of valuable organic fertil- | 
izer you can compost for a few cents. 
Remember Organic Fertilizers supply 
Humus to the soil—the material that 
billions of soil bacteria, yeasts, molds, 
etc., feed upon and give “life” to your 
soil and help liberate and make avail- 
able the mineral elements contained in 
the soil. Prevents the ammonia nitro- 
gen from escaping. Non-injurious. 
TYPES OF COMPOST PILES 
Three types with various modifications are generally followed: 
The EARTH PIT, the WOODEN BOX, the PILE on top of ground.

AVAILABLE SUPPLY — 
Where the space 1s available and the 
ground permits, this type is recom- 
mended. 
2. THE WOODEN BOX 

HINGED OPENING 
AT BOTTOM 
A wooden box hinged at the bottom 
allows the finished organic fertilizer 
to be withdrawn, while new material is 
added at the top. 
3. PILE ON TOP OF GROUND (the least efficient method) 

HOLLOW TOP JO HOLD WATER 
This method may be employed where 
it is not possible to use either the earth 
pit or box method, or where large 
‘amounts are to be composted.
