On the other hand, such a loan should run long enough to give the farmer a good chance to meet it when (ue. Provision should be made in a long time loan for the gradual reduction of the principal.

Not only should the farmers who have heretofore used fertilizer continue the conservative use of it, but there are farmers in every community who have depended solely on their own efforts and the original plant foods in poor soil to make their crops, who should now supplement these things with added plant food, at least on a ,few acres, and get away from unprofitably low yields. We cannot afford to farm at a loss again this year, and yields of 15 to 20 bushels of corn or a fourth to a third of a bale of cotton an acre will not pay for the labor, seed, and use of tfie land and leave a profit. It is essential, then, that our yields be raised well above the average, and the only practicable means of doing this for this year is with fertilizer wisely used. d calling your attention to others of a ve have our own axe to grind, but we >n seed for fertilizer that gives the farmer f6r his seed that can be obtained any your seed or complete your fertilizer natter up with us. are absolute essentials in the produc mns.
