0 No Land So Rich That Fertilizer Cannot Make It Better You use fertiliiers for the profit you get out of them—and the better the land the more profitably a good fertiUxer can be used on it.*. Do not imagine because land will produce a fair crop without Virginia-Carolina Fertilizers * • 9 that these fertilirer* cannot b* ptottably used on it, or that they were made only for land loo poor to jifoduce without them. If poor land will show a normal increase when fertilizer is used, good land will show at least double the increase. Use Virginia-Carolina Fertilizers to increase the quality, as well as the quantity of the crop—and you will increase the profits from your land. “1 have been using vour fertilizers for a number of years” says Mr. William Fraiser. of Glasburg, \Jk t "**dfind that it not only fayt la fertilise, but to </> plenty of it, and use the best fertilisers to be had, su. h as your brands. 1 have used a number of them and found them to be as recommended ami to give better results than any other fertilizers that 1 have ever used.” Every planter and farmer should have a copy of the new 1900 Virginia-Carolina Farmers’ Year-Book.
