order to produce the - , j
very greatest possible Q
yield from any soil it *
must contain an actual Kj/ij.

by the plants.
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
