As result of the growing scarcity of labor, many farmers are finding it necessary to con fine their efforts to small areas. This searcity of labor, with a consequent concurrence of high prices, has been a stimulus to ward theluse of improved labor saving machinery, which is be inig increased annually. Many of the best farmers are now operating their farms on a r ~. basis, but while the nihods now used are in m an ycases very good, they are of'tern Dot the best that could bemployed. Within the .ast few years more atten ion has been given to the study o adaptation of soils to the different crops than formerly, cease' wently improvement of v :ilds are noted.

Th nah of frtilizer does not mean anything until you nov t ourci of ammonia in the fertilizer. The di7erence P the ihophric lacid and in the potash of the different man Sa1t. - 1 eriize r does not cut much figjure, because it is -1 p :cay ihe s-ame. One is about as good as another. The diferenicn lertilizer depends upon the ammonia used. e use a little of nitrate of soda to make the crop start off Isceb:. and then we use blood, tankage, fish, cotton seed meal S uphate of arnmonia. This makes the best goods put in -sacks and it makes a groods that will analyze well A manufacturer can get ammonia from hoof meal, horn -nea, and ieather meal, and make a fertilezer that will analyze 'igner than ours, and can make so that it will sell for $3 a ton ess than we can sell ours and make more profit per ton than xe make on oirs. This may account for some of the low 'rices you hear of. But the goods wor't make the crops that ur goods will make, for the reason that hoof meal and horn ?neal and leather meal are available as plant food. They are act available as plant food. They are not available as plant ood. They are not available for the simple reason that they ire not soluble in water. Hoof meal, and horn meal and leath r meal are hoofs and horne and leather ground finely, just as 7orn meal is corn ground finely. You can take hoof meal and iorn meal and leather meal and put it in water and let it stay or a year and go back to it and the hoof meal and hain meal md leather meal are not dissolved. They can't possibly be -ome Iplant food until they do dissolve. Now sorn and cotton are planted and get their growth and naturity within seven month. If hoof meal and horn meal mnd leather meal cah't be dissolved in water in a year, they :an't become plant food in seven months. Now frankly, we don't suppose any fertilizer mauufacturer Yets his ammonia sokely from hoof meal and horn meal and eather meal. Ve don't doubt that those who use it mix if vith tankage; for very few manufacturers use blood and fish. 'hey mix it with tankageor cotton seed meal, but the amonia a their fertilizer is unavailable just to the extent that they use he hoof meal, horn meal and leather meal. WVhen you rememqer that ouly about 1-30th of an ounce of. immonia gets to each plant, yo~u can see that it will be neces ary for all of this 1 -30th of an ounce to be available. ocan inuke but one crop year and as cotton in this country s the money crop, it would seem to be desirable to get the lest fertilizer for it. We don't use hoof meal or horn meal or leather meal in ur factory. We don't suppose that anytmanufacturer in cre tion would admit the use~ of it if he did use it, but you are at ei-rty. : a anyone else is at liberty to visit our factory at uch times as he~ Vwishes. with or without notice to us of your su ~yas long as you please, go through the buildings, :.ae s:unples of any and everything you see and have it analy .ecd for your own satisfaction. You may have an analysis made en suspicion at auy time or any where you wish. We run an ?apen shop al the year 'round. T'he law requires the fertilizer manufacturers to put th e sourc vio ammonmate used in his fertilizer on a tr~g to be at ached to each sack. The tags on our fertslizers show that we get the ammonia from blood, tankage, cotto.n seed meal, sul pJhate of ammonia, and fish. The tags on most other fertili sers give the source of ammania as "organic" and mineral." Mineral sources are sulphate of ammonia and nitrate of s'da. Drganic mnay mean anything, you cant tell what it means from :he tag. When you buy fertilizer with a tag on it you are iuying. a pig in a poke. This may also account for some low >rices you bea~r of. WVhen a man has a thing to sell he usually 'ives the: best descrip.tion of it that it will stand. >onoi pe'ople everw year mi x their fertilizer. They buy acid, Otton seed meal, kainit and muriate and mix their awn goods. 1Their only. source of ammonma im this goods is cotton seed meal, which; is very good1 whie it lasts. It gives out about the time :hP co tton begins to fruit and that cause it to shed. Nixw. if b'lood,. tankage, sulphate of ammonit and fish are iXort any~'~thing in fertilizer, our goods must be better than your "nome mixes gotods, where you use none of these anmmoniates. By usin'g (crtonl sed meal only a~s an amumoniate, you may nlak a 3- for es a ton less than we ask for it. 1hatii-2 a ton represent a difference of from from 40 to sixty 'en :m acre on younr fertilizer bilL. We don't think there is any 'onbt r~at S-3-:- ammnoniated as we ammoniate it will make 100 )2unds of lini c-otton to the acre more than a hame mixed fertili with retton seed umal as the only source of ammonia. This . pond of Iinft (cotton is now worth about 810.50. We don't n:ow what it wvill be worth next fall- off hand we should say e -E ! dosn't mcem likely that cotton will bring over 12c -ex< fl!l. real e sincerely horit won't bring less than Sc. Where foirines have beeni using the best fertilizers and using i fr'eely wvi wish to su;:2Est to them impropriety of using an in Trior' goods, andi using it less frely'. as if they do their lands will hcm runii& d11(own. Mlost farming lands in this section are in a good state of :ultivation. It will be cheaper to keep them that way than to et the land run down and then bring it UD. If you have a fat iorse it wi take less corn to keep him fat than it will to let iim get poor and then fatten him up again. It is the same way in fertiLizing your land, and besides you vill lose the extra crop that you failed to make while your and is run down. Our 10-4 and 1o-6 are good fertilizers to :se where your lands are fiat or where cotton grows very rank md some of the bolls fail to open. This extra percentage of hosphoric acid in the 10-4 and 1o-6 will give the cotton boll m early maturity. And when a cotton boll is grown it opens, ust as when a water-melon will ripen when it is grown and it mont riien until it gets its growth. \\~e w'.nt to urge you to use on your ordinary lands our 3-4. 9-3-3. 8-4-4, 10-4-4 and 10-3-3. You will get more minonia and less filler and you wvill get more fish in these eruinzes taainm any others, We can make any analysis you iant. .iaking fertilizer is like making clothes. You can ?jke a Loit of cloth to a taylor and from that bolt he can make sut of clothes to fit a 10 year old boy, and by using more om h can make a suit of clothes to fit a man weighing~ 250 II no0w a last word to the home mixers. If you use the same ma~i~t es We use your goods will cost you more than we ask fr ours, and vour goods won't be as well miade as ours be *. ou .(' are not eqjuip!)ed for it.
