Jasper County Democrat, Volume 14, Number 34, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 19 August 1911 — MANURE MEANS DOLLARS. [ARTICLE]

MANURE MEANS DOLLARS.

Manure is worth dollars. Why not save those dollars? Manure adds humus as well as plant food to the soil, and one is as valuable as the other. The soil may contain all the elements of plant food, but if it has no humus these elements are not available and plants do not thrive. Humus aids in retaining moisture for the future use. of the plant. Now is the time to save money by saving manure, and manure is best saved by being spread upon the field where it will do the most good. Immediate value in crops as well as ultimate value in the farm results from the use of the manure spreader.
