Every Southern farmer knows that ARCADIAN, THE AMERICAN NITRATE OF SODA increases yields of cotton, corn and all other crops. But not all know about the Extra NITROGEN in "Arcadian". And that Extra Nitrogen is something really worth knowing about. In cash value the Extra Nitrogen over the 16% guaranteed, runs as high as 88c per ton. This is reported by the Deportment of Agriculture and Immigration of the State of Virginia. Every time you buy "ARCADIAN", you are sure of two things: 1 ? superior crop-growing value a? proved by many tests; 2?Extra Nitrogen which does not cost you one extra cent. When you buy ARCADIAN, THE AMERICAN NITRATE OF SODA you get extra caih value which it jutt like putting money right in your own pocket.
