THE CORN CROP IS SHORT THIS YEAR. Late corn is almost a failure, and there is very little early corn. Buy ing corn makes your crops expensive. We wish to suggest to the farm ers that they prepare well, one or two acres to the plow, three would be bet ter; fertilize it well and sow it in oats. Between the middle and last of next May your oats will be in, and after that you can finish your crop with very little corn. You can fertilize your oats this fall with our 10-4 goods and top-dress next spring with soda. This will make fine oats. This 10-4 is a fine fertilizer for oats or wheat and it is cheap. If you try this plan we believe it will pay you. PHOSPHATE & OIL I p ANDERSON, - JOHN JOOST, Katherine St., Opposite Walhalla Hotel, -- AGENT FOR ' Jno. T. Burriss Metal Shingles.
