TAKEYOim HimUZER .There's a ctisU in the makingt If stocks pile up in fertiliser planta and agents' ware houses, the stream of supply will choke up. They must move fast or the lack of man-power will cause a para lysing shortage. * Take the Chilean Nitrate situation for example. To supply the quantity needed for 1945 crops, many car goes must be unloaded each month at each port, then moved out by train and truck for immediate allocation. It must move out of agents' hands as fast as it moves in. If not. the choke-up starts and works back to the ports, even back to the shipa. Already there's a threatened shortage of nitrogen. due to sharply increased war needs. Unless you help smash the bottle-neck by taking your nitrate as soon as it-is ofrered, the shortage will become acute. Thous ands of tona will pile up at U.S. ports or on the docks in Chile. The only place Chil ean Nitrate does you any good is on your crops. Get yours now ... while you can. Storogt Tips Kit sll mottriols os dry boards hi borii or shod. fHo BMtoriolsMporotoly.
