" THE BIGGEST STEP FORWARD IN
THIRTY YEARS."
Is what one man connected with' the U. S. Department of Agriculture
wrote us, after reading our literature on 4,N*?0 Brand Open-Formula
No-Filler Fertilizers."
"If the Farmer would buy his fertilizer^ Yfitty the same care he does
other merchandise, he oould double his crops and get rich." T?
"We think your plan of leaving out the Filler is splendid and will be
appreciated by those farmers who give some thought to what they are
using under thfcir crops." ' . '
Don't see how cheaply you ca^ buy a fertilizer, for cheap fertilizers
are not always good investments. Don'Jb' merely ask for an 8-8-3,
but ask your dealer what it's made df, how many pounds of each ma
terial are. used and how much filler, and if he cannot answer your
questions, then ask our representative,
W. R. HOUGH , at Camden, S. C.
To explain our Open-Formula No-Filler Utilizers. You will find we
put a tag on , every bag showirig exactly the number of pounds of each
material that we use ? and we use thie finest of ingredients, such as
the Genuine Peruvian Guano, etc., and you will find our prices rea- .
sonable ? and furthermore, will find that after we mix all the ingre
dients that are necessary to make an. 8-3-3 or an 8-4-4, or any other
analysis, we stop? we don't add any dirt filler or sand, but we ship
you the pure ingredients only ? leaving out from 200 to 500 pounds
of worthless filler, which does you no good and only means expense
for freight, handling and hauling, etc.
Don't continue to be satisfied to ask for 3n 8-8-8. Find out why you
need certain materials to give you the proper balance of plant food,
then insist upon your getting them, thereby steadily improving your
crop yields and at the same time getting some knowledge of the func
tions of the various fertilizer elements. Get away from fertilizing
like you did five or ten years ago, for you haven't started to get the
results you can obtain from fertilizers if you buy and apply them with
a full knowledge of the fact3. o,
