to be taxed for their trouble.

CROP PROFITS

Depend Largely Upon the V
Fertilizer You Use
0
Many factors determine the profits you will make from your
crops: soil, weather conditions, farming methods 'and fertiliza
tion are the chief ones.
The successful farmer knows that good and profitable crops,
especially tobacco, depend more upon the fertilizer used thaa
any other single element.
It is, therefore, very important to be careful in the buying of
fertilizer to get the correct analysis nnd a reliable brand.
* You Can't Go Wrong With Acme
Acme Fertilizers, made at Acme, N. C., hn\e a wonderful rec
ord for producing quality crops and large yields. Acme has
gone so far into the study of the requirements of farmers; has
carried research and experimentation to such an extensive point;
and has developed such fine formulae that Acme Fertilizers are
standard with hundreds of farmers in the two Carolinas. These
farmers realize that they can depend upon Acme for producing
the greatest yield per acre.
Because Acme is an independent home company; bodbuse its
officials are vitally interested in every customer; because
Acme's dealings arc fair and square, without red tape or alibis,
the Acme customer gets completely satisfactory service from
this company and its dealers.
Try Acme This S?mon
Before placing your order for fertilizer this i>cat>on, get in touch
with the Acme dealer, or write us, and secure the complete data
on what Acme should do for your crops. Once you start using
Acme, it's fairly assured you will never switch to another brand.
