HE’LL GET ALONG
An Irishman offered a quarter to
the boy who could tell him who was
the greatest man in history.
“Columbus,” answered one boy.
“George Washington,” answered
another.
“St. Patrick,” shouted a bright lit
tle Jewish boy.
“The quarter is yours,” said the
Irishman. “But why did you say St.
Patrick?”
“Right down in my heart I knew
it was Moses,” said the Jewish boy,
“but business is business.”

America’s food and feed production goals for
1944 exceed all records. The question is being
asked—" How many more acres must be put under
the plow?” In the face of labor and machinery
shortages, the question might better be —"How
much more can be produced on every acre now
being farmed?
Experiment station results show that the intelli
gent use of potash, properly balanced with other
essential plant foods, can greatly increase yield
and quality. If you do not know just how much
potash your soil needs to make every acre do
its best, your official agricultural
advisers will tell you.
Write us for free information and literature
on the practical fertilization of your crops. aSgzSSfS
