It costs a little more because it’s worth more. But the difference in cost usually can lie measured in pennies per acre, while the differ ence in value often amounts to dollars per acre. Chilean "Bulldog” Soda gives you generous extra value. The nitrogen is 100 per cent nitrate. It’s 100 pejf cent available (quick-acting l; 100 per cent dependable.

Many farmers are now ready to buy this high priced fertilizer. Take for example nitrate of soda tests ’8 per cent, retails for $66 per ton. Cal-Nitrate of AN and L (Ammonium Nitrate and Lime) tests 20.5 per cent and sells for | the same priced as nitrate of soda The Comparison on these ni trogen figured on basis are: a ton Of nitrate of soda costs $60.00 to get the same amount of nitrogen from AN and L or Cal-Nitrate as in a ton o nitrate of soda will require 1561 pounds and will cost $46 83. Farmers, money saved is mon ey made, is the old saying. Buy wisely as you are as much a | business operatof as any other businessman.
