"If the Farmer would buy his fertilizer^ Yfitty the same care he does other merchandise, he oould double his crops and get rich." T? "We think your plan of leaving out the Filler is splendid and will be appreciated by those farmers who give some thought to what they are using under thfcir crops." ' . ' Don't see how cheaply you ca^ buy a fertilizer, for cheap fertilizers are not always good investments. Don'Jb' merely ask for an 8-8-3, but ask your dealer what it's made df, how many pounds of each ma terial are. used and how much filler, and if he cannot answer your questions, then ask our representative, W.
