More Profits
THE profits you make on your tobacco crop
this season will depend largely on your
success in getting a high yield of good quality at
a low cost per pound.
“Experiments show”, says
a noted expert, "that no
other one factor influences
the economy of production
of tobacco more than the
fertilizer used.” The sound
ness of this statement is proved in
the following typical experiments:
G. A. Campbell of Hardin County,
Ky., raised 600 lbs. of Burley to
bacco per acre without fertilizer,
1260 lbs. per acre when he used
t AAA lV\r< Q T-R-fl
1000 lbs. of a 3-8-0
mixture, and 1500 lbs.
of tobacco per acre
when he used 1000 lbs.
of a 3-8-10 mixture.
The addition of 10 "
sulfate of potash,
which cost only
$6.00, increased his
income $42.00 per
acre over the plot
where no fertilizer i
was used.

Another Douglas case that tells of
lasting benefit. What can be more
convincing? Thousands recommend
Doan’s for backache, rheumatic pains,
headaches, dizziness and distressing
urinary disorders. Doan’s are a stim
ulant diuretic to the kidneys. They
have helped thousands and should help
you. A Douglas case:
Jno. T. Rowland, tax collector, City
Hall, says: “The muscles in my back
got lame and stiff and a sharp pain
caught me in my back when 1 least
expected it. My kidneys were weak in
action. Doan’s Pills rid me of the
trouble.”
Mr. Rowland gave the above state

1922, he added: “I have been free
from kidney ailment and give Doan’s
the credit ter curing me.”
