I9U8 No Land So Rich That Fertilizer Cannot Make It Better You use fertilizers for the profit you get out of them? aiul the *- better the land the more profitably a good fertilizer can be used on it. Do not imagine because land will produce a fair crop without Virginia- Carolina Fertilizers thai those fertilizers cannot be profitably used on it, or that they were made only for land too poor to produce without them. If poor land will show a normal increase when fertilizer is used, good land will show at least double the increase. Use Virginia-Carolina Fertilizers to increase the quality , as well as the quantity of the crop ? and you will increase the profits from your land. "I have been using your fertilizers for a number of years" says Mr William F raiser, of (ilasburg, La ./'and fi/id that it not only pays to fertilize, hut to do plenty of' it, ami use (he best fertilisers to be /tad, su. lt as your brands. 1 have used a number of them and found them to be as recommended and to give better results than any other fertilizers that 1 have ever used."
