Medical authorities and food specialists say that to be healthy and strong and active one should eat plenty of fruit and vegetables. Hints Do not allow tomato plants to grow long-legged. Transplant them to other boxes or frames and give each plant room to become stout-stemmed and stocky. If well hardened they may be set in the t? /-'i t open 10 days earlier.

It should be emphasiz ed, however, that the Commodity Credit Corporation will make no loans on the 1935 cotton crop to any producer who is not co-operat ing in the cotton program under the Agricultural Adjustment Act, You can kill as many weeds and pulverize as much crust in an hour with a wheel hoe as you can in at at least three hours with an old fashioned weeding hoe.

Try this 1935 job—whether you want something that will stand the abuse of farm work, or a tough, speedy unit for town hauling or use around a plant. This year, improvements have been added that enable you to use the Ford V-8 Pickup harder than ever—and to do it at less cost. Even the proved V- 8 engine has been made more economical, more dependable. It has new crankcase ventilation that rids the engine of water vapor, minimizes sludge, reduces oil dilution and corrosion. It has copper-lead connecting rod hearings that re sist burning and pounding out. It has cast alloy camshaft and crank- • On* goffered atKock ^ooditioned aP * ^“ethemtodgi " r>nces. shaft that outwear forged steeL The front axle is stronger— 20%, The frame has been strengthened —with a new X-member, double reinforced side rails, new cross members at front, center and rear. The chassis is mounted on the Ford Full-floating Sp ring base— giving more uniform tire wear, longer atmg unifo longer brake life, better brake action, improved over-all opera tion, easier riding and handling. Brakes and clutch are hew— stronger, sure-acting, easier to operate. But the way to find out what this new Ford V-8 Pickup will do for you—and save for you—is to put it through a tough trial on your own job. Your Ford dealer will let you have one any time you say.

Pigs is Pigs" AND CROPS ARE CROPS Yet they’re much alike at Feeding Time • Strange, isn’t it, to think of pigs and crops this way . . . but science presents more and more evidence every day to show that food requirements of animals and plants are much the same. Animals need vitamins. They could starve to death on chemi cally pure food. So could your crops,without vi talimpuri ties. Chilean Natural Nitrate sup plies the vital impurities—sup plies them in Na ture's own balance and proportion. These vital impuri ties are the rare elements—iodine, boron, calcium. "A Pure Food and Drug Act for plants would he a death warrant to all living creatures. ” —Scientific American magnesium, lithium, stron tium, and many others. They’re all there, combined with nitro gen, to make your crops strong and healthy. Chilean Natural Nitrate is ideal for your crops. It is na tural, the only nitrogen that comes from the ground. For your own protection say “Chilean” when you order ni trate. Two kinds—Champion (granulated) and Old Style. They are both gen uine. Both are natural. Both are Chilean. And both give your crops the vital impurities. Pod and Bountiful. Sow in open,!
