Good farmers—for over a hun dred years—have hauled natural nitrate for their crops. Since 1830, when the first nitrate cargo “arrived from Chile, millions of tons have been used on American farms . . . 3,300,000 tons since the outbreak of the war. This year’s supply of Chilean Nitrate depends largely on ships avail able to bring it in. Ii everyone takes his share promptly when offered, at least 850,000 tons can be supplied for this year’s crops. While some nitrate normally goes into mixed fertilizer, most of it is applied direct to the crop —top dressing for grains and grasses, side dressing for com and cotton. Direct application to fruit and vegetable crops is vital to yield and quality. Chilean Nitrate is quick-act ing inorganic nitrogen. It is im mediately soluble in normal soil moisture. It is all available to the crop But beyond all this, Chilean Nitrate is natural... the only natural nitrate in the world. Because of its natural origin, Chilean Nitrate of Soda contains, in addition to large proportions of nitrogen and so dium, small amounts of boron, iodine, manganese, copper—34 different elements in all—many of which are known to be essen tial to healthy plant growth. Good farmers the world over have learned by experience to prefer Natural Chilean Nitrate of Soda. In experiments, test plots and in the field, it has demonstrated its worth. It is the safe, sure nitrate for your crops. A ..HI Ib»V Hondl*... lo«v to Uf Natural (hiliai Nitrata corntr Is two fanm—Champion brand and Old Stylo. It roaclMi you In Una mtchonicol con dition.
