is merely a question of using enough of the right
kind of fertilizers.
Virginia- Carolina
Fertilizers
are the right kind.
The cotton plant cannot feed on barren land. Study
your soil. Find out what it lacks. Then apply the
necessary fertilization and the results will surprise you.
See what Mr. W. C. Hays of Smith Station, Ala., did. He says:
“I planted about 30 acres of some *gray sandy land’ that had been in
cultivation for over 20 years, and used 300 pounds of Virginia-Caro
lina Fertilizers per acre, and / expect to gather 30 bales front
the SO acres.” This is why we say it is the right kind. We have
hundreds of letters like this, and even stronger, in praise of Virgima-
Carolina Fertilizer for cotton.

from your fertilizer dealer, or write our nearest sales office and a copy
will be sent you free. It contains pictures of the capitols of all the

Caution !

Just at this time there seems to be another epidemic of Spectacle-
PEDLERS abroad in the land. Some of them style them
selves “Eye Specialists, ” and claim their glasses to be
“Medicated,” and sell you at a fabulous price an in
ferior second quality lens, claiming they will cure
your eyes within a stated time, even though
the organ may be diseased to such an ex
tent that no glasses will be of any
service. They are simply
Swindling you out of your money
And the county out of a tax of fifty dollars, by dodging the
authorities. BRING YOUR EYES to an established
refractionist, who will scientifically correct any error
which can be overcome by glasses, and if you can
not be helped with glasses will tell you so,
and will refer you to your physician
if you need medical help.
