Many farmers will feed their stock as much nourishing food as they can possibly assimilate, yet will starve their crops on the mistaken notion that they are "economizing" on fertilizer. The experiences of farmers, government experts, and agriculturEalists everywhere confirm the fact that plants, like animals, need the fullest possible amount of nourishment that they can obtain if they are to be developed to the utmost. The economy in fertilizers is not in the amount used but in the ratio of quality to cost. Virginia-Carolina Fertilizers are the best in the ^ world for the least money. More than one million tons were the officers arrived. The arrest L>f Stratford was made on th^ strength <>t evidence that he had * quarrel with young Furr SunJay and was heard to say that lie intended to g?t even with the boy.
