Plain Talks on Fertilizers
A Talk to Fruit-Growers
You use a fertilizer
of course, but do you
use enough ?
The yield per acre,
and the profit therefrom
increases in far greater
proportion than the cost
of additional fertilizer.
What is an increase in
cost of $2.00 to SIO.OO
per acre for fertilizer
when the returns therefrom
show an increase of $50.00 to
$250.00 per acre?

Farms at Durant, Miss., tested

olina Fertilizer

acre were used
acre than when
500 lbs. per
acre were used.
This is modem intensive cul
ture, the method that is doub
ling and trebling the crops of
all kinds of fruit in
either good or in poor
and worn-out land all
over the country—and
in good soil, too.

The yield will be
according to the
amount of plant food
you give your trees or
plants you can de
pend on it. The better
they are fed the greater
anjd more valuable will
be your crop. Fertil
ize sparingly and you
reap sparingly.

The fact that over a million
tons of Virginia-Carolina
