Strict husbanding of resources; reg- "" V/X/ll Iwl ■ ■ uiation with respect to production and consumption of goods and wealth; as, use of adulterants is poor ECONOMY.- -Webster's Unabridged Dictionary. Fertilizer Facts Economy Previous Fertilizer Facts have treated with Cooperation, Education, Greater Profits, And now comes that subject which is the basis of all lasting wealth as defined above— Economy. Practically applied, what does Economy mean? Is it in buying cheap seed, corn and grain that gives you only half a stand? Is it in you making a pair of shoes out of materials that cost $1.50 that will wear out in sixty days when a pair that costs you $2.00 will wear a year? Is it in spending fifty cents for a medicine which you think you need when a $2.00 visit from a physician will put you on your feet in a few days? Is it mixing your own fertilizer unevenly so that some plants get all the nitrogen and run to stalk; others all the potash and bear heavy fruit with no body; oris it buying Commercial Fertilizers where only the most carefully selected materials, thoroughly analyzed, chemically tested and accurately balanced are mixed under careful and watchful supervision by the most modern machinery, which insures a uniformity in the goods offered? At the outside there is only about 30 cents an acre difference in the cost of the two fertilizers mentioned above, and 30 cents is dirt cheap for the insurance on your crop certified to through the analysis on every bag of goods you buy. The opposite of Economy is Extravagance, which is oftentimes caused by being “Penny wise and pound foolish.” * ' Remember, “strict husbanding of resources and regulation with respect to production” is the accepted definition of Economy. The time to make money on your crop is when you are producing it. The way to make money on your crop is to keep down the cost and use Bowker’s Fertilizers. Bulletins on crops sent free.
