Reduce Your Crop Costs
V^'
Follow this Four-Point Plan
1. Use a fertilizer made right.
2. Fertilize liberally the acres
you plant.
3. Use a high analysis fertilizer.
4. Consult the A. S. A.
Your profit on cotton is decided largely
by your cost of producing. Larger yields of
better cotton per acre cut your cost.
Swift's Red Steer Fertilizers increase the
yield and improve the quality. "It Pays to
Use Them."
For cotton and corn I recommend Swift's
Red Steer 12-4-4. Come in and let's discuss
your fertilizer requirements.
