Now is the time to decide ... and you can just as easily make a goo 4 crop. No luck to it ... just one single rule for success. Chilean Nitrate of Soda is the difference j between a good corn crop and a poor one. | A side dressing with this nitrate fertilizer (the only natural nitrate in the world) greatly increases the yield. Hastens maturity. Makes larger ears with more corn per ear and more ears per stalk. Chilean Nitrate is not synthetic. It is mined and refined in Chile, largely by American capital, brought hare in American ships and sold to American farmers at a low pace. Its small cost is returned to you many times over in increased crop profits. I See ir local fertilizer dealer. If he does not carry Chilean Nitrate of Soda he can easily get it for you. Free Fertilizer Book Our new book, “JJow to Fertilize Corn in ~ the North,” tells how to make a real corn crop. It is free.
