While no great
degree of skill is
required in merely
combining materials to meet certain analyses,
accurate scientific knowledge and experience are
absolutely essential in manufacturing fertilizers
of the highest , crop-producing value.
It is due to advanced methods of manufac
ture, developed by scientific research and
years of practical fertilizer experience; that
"AA QUALITY" Fertilizers have the greatest
crop'producing powers and excel other
fertilizers by producing larger yields and better
quality crops. *

UNBURNABLK HOUHK
Built By Thornu Payne Tolbert Near

. ? ; ( I
Green wood, Feb. 15. ? The "house
which can't be burned/' now being
erected about eight miles south of
here by Thomas Payne Tolbert, was
yesterday visited by many persons
from over the Piedmont section.
Much interest in this curious house
was displayed by the visitors who
were permitted by Mr. Tolbert to in
spect thy house and to see something
of its construction. A few of the
more sprightly climbed the ladder
which connected the first and second
floors and inspected the rooms on the
second floor. The majority, however,
remained on the first floor, hearing
only second-hand of what was to. be
seen on the top floor.
'The house is built of fire-proof
material throughout, not a piece of
wood as large a a a match having gone
into its construction. With the ex*
ception of the cement and the metal
parts needed in the building, all of
the material came from tho Tolbert
plantation. One thousand truck load*
of granite, quarried on the place, wero'
used in building the house, together
with 2,500 sacks of cement and an
onormous quantity of sand.
"If there is another house like it
in the United States I have labored
in vain," Mr. Tolbert told an interest
ed group of spectators. "I want to
have a house different from anybody's
I believe I have gotten it, too. I don'tj
believe another one like it is to be
found from New York to Chicago."
Construction of the house was
started about four years ago and will
be finished some time this year, al
though Mr. Tolbent doesn't know just
when. Asked as to how much the
l\ouse cost, Mr. Tolbert said he hadn't
figured this up but that the cutting
and hauling of the stone alone cost
over 4,000. Added to this is the cost
of the cement, the metal used in the
doors and windows and the hauling
of the sand and miscellaneous mater
ials, including the plastering. ,
The house is two stories in height,
containing four rooms and a hall on
each floor. A circular hole is cut into
the floor on the socond hall and a
metal staircase* is to be put in at some
future date but this has not yet ar
rived.
Mr. Tolbert, a middle-aged bache
lor who lives alone, has had one house
burned and his father also had a
house burned, so this caused him to
plan a house which would be as near
unburnable as brains could plan it.
Added to this thought of having a
fire-proof structure, Mr. Tolbert has
sought to have a building which will
be different from any other house
and those who have seen it say he has
succeeded.
The house is in a thinly-settled re
gion, accessible over roads that are
none too good, but this has not pre
vented many spectators from making
a pilgrimage there. ? Greenville Pied

Productability !
Every farmer is looking for the ability
of fertilizers to produce. That fertilizer
which has the greatest "productability"
is the fertilizer which will gain in sales
each year. A perusal of the sales record
on Josey's Fertilizers show greatly in: ,
creasing sales each succeeding year!
There must be a reason!
