The world’s most valuable tree was
recently sold in Kosciusko, Miss. It
is a pecan tree, only 16 years old,
but it brought $2,500. It was bought
for grafting purposes, because the
tree, which has been bearing for nine
years, produces enormous pecans
that only 25 weigh a pound.

Figure it out for yourself.
If three tons of 12-4-4 contains the same amount
of plant food as four tons of 9-3-3 and costs less,
why handle the extra ton?
Simple enough isn’t it?
The plant food in 12-4-4 costs less per unit than
in 9-3-3.
The above statement being true, then why not
make 1925 a banner year by using nothing but
High Analysis Fertilizer
and
Make every acre do its best.
When you have learned the proper fertilization
for your soils, sou have learned the secret of
profitable farming.
